Munckhof Fruit Tech Innovators presents an automatic counting function for its Pluk-O-Trak.
This innovation automatically counts the quantity of harvested fruit per picker and per row.
The new app will help fruit growers achieve further improvements in picking performance and yield.
Munckhof’s Pluk-O-Trak is a versatile harvesting solution that is used to harvest a wide range of fruits such as apples, pears and citrus fruits rapidly and ergonomically.
Pickers can work with the harvesting system at ground level or stand on the horizontally and vertically adjustable harvesting platforms to extend their reach to up to four metres above the ground.
The pickers place fruit on narrow moving conveyors, which convey the fruit gently and automatically to the crates.
Significant advantages
With the Pluk-O-Trak, fruit growers save 50% on picking labour and also reduce fruit damage by 50%.
The Pluk-O-Trak can additionally be used as an effective, labour-saving and ergonomic solution for pruning, thinning and working on hail protection nets.
