A patented invention of a melon-picking head attached to a mechanical belt, followed by a “turnstile” to deposit the melons in the crates.
This innovation eliminates the need for human carriers and requires only pickers. When picking melons, the technical work is done by the pickers, who must only pick the ripe melons, while the carrying job is painful and often causes ‘injuries’ to the fruit when it is ‘thrown’ into the crates.
The picking head is fitted with a flexible rubber roller that does not harm the fruit.
