ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for the separation of fruit from other plant matter. In particular, the present invention relates to an apparatus for the separation of Material Other than Grapes (MOG) from viable berries during the harvesting of wine grapes. The improved MOG remover is able to be used in conjunction with conventional harvesting machinery and ensures that the harvested material is in contact with a separation conveyer for a long enough period of time to result in the full separation of the berries from the MOG. The separation conveyer is able to be adjusted to compensate for variations in terrain and the degree of difficulty of separating the berries from bunches. This ensures that the apparatus10is able to function effectively whilst the loss of viable berries is minimised.
