Delicate for fruit and bushes
KAREN is the newest solution for harvesting blueberry, raspberry and haskap. It guarantees effective picking and very high quality of harvested fruits with minimum operating actions and constant working parameters. Innovative covers and the sealing system minimize fruit losses and increase the efficiency of the cleaning unit. The technological solutions found in KAREN allow working on plantations in all conditions. The harvester guarantees effective and comfortable fruit collection.
It is based on a vertical shakers harvesting system. The fruits are falling on a conveyor and are transported through a cleaning unit. They have thoroughly cleaned off leaves and other debris. An effective sealing system minimizes fruit losses. Next, fruits are transported to a fruit selecting zone and into totes and lugs.
