Frequency response of Valencia oranges to selective harvesting by vibration
Citrus mechanical harvesting has been investigated since the 1960’s. Even though mechanical harvesting could significantly lower production costs, the implementation by the private sector has been slow. The current harvesting ...
Vibration analysis of the fruit detachment process in late-season ‘Valencia’ orange with canopy shaker technology
(2019)
The mechanical harvesting of juice oranges can be achieved by the application of forced vibration to the tree canopy to detach fruit. Among the available harvesting technologies, canopy shaker systems have the advantage ...
Vibration Monitoring of the Mechanical Harvesting of Citrus to Improve Fruit Detachment Efficiency
(MDPI, 2019)
The introduction of a mechanical harvesting process for oranges can contribute to enhancing farm profitability and reducing labour dependency. The objective of this work is to determine the spread of the vibration in citrus ...
The contribution of fruit and leaves to the dynamic response of secondary branches of orange trees
(Elsevier, 2020)
The current commercial technologies for mass harvesting fruit are based on the
application of forced vibration to the tree, which is transmitted to the fruits causing their
detachment. The dynamic behaviour of the plant ...
