Machine for harvesting loose radishes in greenhouses

This machine has been developed for the efficient and reliable harvesting of radish crops in greenhouses. The machine has a compact and stable design and combines manoeuvrability with a high processing capacity. The harvesting is executed entirely automated: the radishes are gripped by their leaves, pulled out of the ground, stripped of their leaves and transported via conveyor belts.

The machine is suitable for radish crops only.

Benefits

• Significant savings on labour costs
• Enormous labour savings compared to manual harvest
• Manoeuvrability: Independently controlled wheels with extra-large profiled tyres

Result

The radishes are harvested uniformly and carefully topped, resulting in a consistent product with high processing quality. This supports uniform sorting and ensures a stable end product that is suitable for use in further processing and packaging lines.
