The Chianchia EU harvester harvests various nuts (e.g., chestnuts, hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts) by suction. Its vacuum hoses and its small size allow easy access to areas typically difficult to reach. It is also ideal for harvesting nuts when trees are scattered or on uneven ground.
When the nuts are harvested, they are transported on a conveyor belt. Thanks to the sieve and the airflow, debris such as leaves, grass, and twigs are removed. Nuts can then be stored in bags or boxes.
Two models are available:
- EU 1000: includes a 12 m long suction hose; requires one operator
- EU 2000: includes two 12 m long suction hoses; requires two operators
