Text of the page (random words):
eeping the active distance longer than 100 would ensure increased shaking after the post and increase fruit harvested but if you have a difficult pick early season unripe or simply require full acceleration frequency smart settings then a decision could be made to reduce or lighten the shaking around posts to mitigate breakages as you already have high smart parameters by the time you are coming to the end of the active length of the shaker bars at some point you need revert back to the vine panel settings to maintain post integrity set active distance to greater than 100 typically to 110 alternatively a setting of 90 under these conditions would ensure a greater chance of fruit removal after the post and yet reduce the effects on the post in practice though noticing a difference can be subjective and my experience shows little effect either way with ground speeds above 5 5km hr ba shaker bars are expensive so they need to be looked after in the australian summer temperatures become so high that bar including the post sensor rod can lose its shape completely unexpectantly and very quickly however as most harvests are conducted overnight this isn t too much of a problem until harvests drag on to mid morning bolting in a new shaker bar should always be the option so new rubber axles work in pairs and straps should always be used when the head is not in use to restrain their flex and maintain their shape just this 2014 2015 summer in new zealand we had considerable difficulty with shaker rods losing their shape and its no coincidence that we have had one of the hottest summers and driest for a considerable time consistently in the low to mid 30 s remember when bolting up new shaker rods fit both rubber axles in their housings before you start bolting them up and make sure you don t twist the rubber isolators as you are doing so leave a comment filed under farming tagged as pellenc grapes harvest wine january 16 2015 9 57 pm end of season mess so what goes wrong over a whole harvest season well actually at times quite a lot especially when a driver doesn t know what they are doing or just doesn t give a shit when you come across some drivers during the harvesting season from time to time they are ever insistent that they had completed the servicing regime but evidence proves otherwise it is damn frustrating having to inject 40 shots in three nipples every 8 hours but that is just how it works i had to clean and service a mav before the end of the last 2014 season as the one allocated to the customer on dry hire simply had so much damage it was uneconomical to carry on with it when we handed it over to one of their drivers he promptly listed out a stream of apologies for some vineyard damage he caused that at that moment we hadn t yet heard of through the client it seamed he simply had no real care and it was just all in a days work when a driver attends specially organised professional training and uses tractors diggers and other machinery on a regular basis is it really ok to smash strainer posts tear belts misuse the mav in general and lie about conducting its servicing do they do this to their own vehicles bet you they don t here is the thing the smart controller records a totaliser during a 12 month period our three selectiv mav s perform up to 180 hours each in harvesting blackcurrants being a completely different crop their setup is quite different even so by the time we have finished both harvest seasons each head unit has completed 5 5 million cycles but this one machine an older vinitrieur which we don t use in the blackcurrants begins the grape season 180 hours short of use compared to the other three come grape harvesting season the three selectiv and the vinitrieur are all pressed into action with the vinitrieur by request is seconded to one of our larger customers for the majority of the season 90 or more by the time the season has completed this mav has completed around 400 hours yet often 100 hours short of our three individual selectiv machines yet the damage is extreme and here s why this is a lazy setting these monkey s don t care and every time we intercepted this machine and revised the settings they were found to be returned back to this this is a setting for someone who wants all the fruit removed around all the posts with an absolute no care no responsibility attitude to plant grape or machinery it is an adage to just don t give a fuck even though this mav finishes the season short of 100 hours this mav vinitrieur finishes up almost a million cycles more than the three individual selectiv machines driving the machine hard and fast may reduce time cost but increases maintenance cost significantly here s more evidence of people just not giving a damn the following are the main pole bearings that carry the shaker arms no grease has been sent here at all just constantly harvesting and maybe washing down but no maintenance servicing as instructed the pole bearings house the four poles to which the front and rear attachments of the shaker bars are mounted these are full height within the head unit support delicate sensors to indicate post detection and high speed high pressure hydraulic rams oscillate thems creating the motion to agitate the shaker bars here s more evidence of dry hire drivers that don t care this is outright willful negligence the fan casings at the rear of the picking head have had their panels beaten so much they had jammed the fans solid halting their rotation how shaker arms that had broken from the front main shaker poles had stripped their rubber mounts and swung around to the rear bashing on the side of the housings to the point where they had worn through their steel casings the arms would have been flapping and tearing at the trunks along the way negating their ability to pick the fruit requiring much higher than required settings to get the job done then there is belt damage this is where drivers refuse to undertake centralising the belts each morning before theirs days work the belts de centralise rub on one side of the stainless channels and allows trash to enter which then exacerbates the situation till you have a solid belt jam an alarm then sounds indicating the belt is stationary but as the drive roller continues considerable damage can be done when this alarm is ignored the drive roller melts its way through a 6 thousand dollar belt in 30 seconds is that all no driving off in a hydraulically driven machine with the handbrake on destroys the brake drum because of the costs of these items we do not carry spares but the hydraulic lines have to be removed and a steel brace fitted to permanently keep the brake off again sheer incompetence so how is the next harvest season going to turn out i m over it already don t forget the coffee 1 comment filed under farming tagged as pellenc blackcurrants grapes harvest march 3 2014 1 45 am a typical day in a pellenc 8590 it was a cold morning crisp but with the promise of a warm and still day i arrive when it s still dark in my winter pants and a warm pullover but i stripped to my day outfit once i had completed the pre check of my pellenc 8590 the shaker arms and axles mounts seemed in good condition and their was no missing or misaligned collector plates nightshift mckean estates waipara the harvester had been washed well after the previous shift and the various grease nipples showed evidence of at least having received some grease as i climbed up onto the top of the picking head i inspected each area and closed the access hatches which had been left open everything was clear the main belts looked central and the mirrors were clean i climb down off the harvester and checked my watch i d been here for 1 2 an hour already but then i had walked around and checked the rest of the harvester it was time to go i climb up into the cab folded away the ladder turned on the headlights and rotating beacon raised the rev s to about 2000 and crept out of our base onto the highway i raise the revs to the maximum and i am on my way to your place that coffee i receive once i arrive at the vineyard has just been spooned into the mug and the jug filled and turned on i can smell it already cab view broomfield i arrive at the vineyard 5 minutes late no one was there waiting for me but i knew where to go and as i line myself up to the first row i switch on the stepping function raising the machine at the same time then come up to my start point dropping down on the stepped stop height dropping the rev s to idle i check no one is standing outside then open out the ladder and hope out firstly i check the vine i check the height of the fruiting zone against that of shaker arms in the machine and then i check the pinch over the fruiting zone area a final walk around the harvester to confirm everything is in position before i introduce myself to my client who has just arrived the discussion is simple after pleasantries are done with when we discuss what i can and can t do but specifically the difficulties regarding removing fruit around posts and the risks in doing so without getting too heavy in the discussion i promise to perform a few rows stop in row and get out and discuss progress mcarthur ridge central otago i start off at 3 5km hr on fairly mild settings for about 3 bays and stop and get out we note the smaller berries not being picked but some canes being broken and too much berries still remain on the rachis on the ground there s no evidence on the posts that the bottom fans are too high i climb back into the cab lower the amplitude from 95 to 90 increase the frequency from 490 to 500 but add acceleration to 15 i increase the mini shakers from 750 to 850 and then quickly undertake another 3 bays but this time at 4km hr most clients would recognise the improvement and i would counter that after a couple of rows the harvester will warm and will come to the task after finishing the return row i turn and stop and seek the clients opinion again the client wants a little more off around the posts but makes the point he doesn t want to break any and is generally happy the rest of the process helen joey estate yarra with the easy part done i then start to focus on post parameters i start with ensuring the amplitude is at least 5 to 10 lower the simple reality is that with a post jammed up the middle of the shaker arms their effectiveness is somewhat compromised i increase the frequency up to 20 to 25 higher but then i match the increase in pinch around the post with the setting around the canopy if i can get this right then theoretically the post sensor switches to the post parameters by increasing to the correct width of the post reducing the actual shaking movement and whilst it has no acceleration ever it quickly increases the frequency to try and wrap around the back of the post because the frequency is higher around the post then i ensure the post parameters are active for slightly longer than their length 110 usually to ensure fruit is quickly picked directly after the post in that dead area where the shaker arms can t operate because of the restriction conversely if the amplitude is quite low the picking length is usually 90 to 100 mcarthur ridge central otago by this stage the client is happy and i have completed 4 rows after emptying it is now just mileage and i get into rhythm quickly the next 4 rows happen in the blink of the eye but now i m constantly checking the row beside me and how well the harvester is picking i m frequently checking the rear mirror looking for rachis that may be broken or any fruit remaining on it the harvester is warming and the picking head is developing the sweet spot so now i m pushing the speed first up to 4 5km hr and if the result looks alright then up to 5 0 and maybe 5 5km hr but not without a minute increase to frequency emptying straight into fermenting bin sooner or later the truck is full and after completing another 4 rows it has not returned in time for me to empty this gives me a good chance to give the machine a rest and i lower the rev s to idle and get out and survey the harvester once i am happy with everything there then i check where i ve been looking for what fruit i ve missed and what is happening around the post i remind myself that as the day gets warmer i am able to travel a little faster and sometimes can reduce the frequency and amplitude this is the first thing i forget to reinstate at the end of the day when temperatures get cooler that truck is taking it s time i want to finish and get going to the next job besides even at this time of the year my wife still has organised friends coming around for dinner and i don t want to miss out leave a comment filed under farming tagged as pellenc blackcurrants grapes harvest wine may 12 2013 4 21 pm the finishing department the finishing department covers the area from the discharge of the main drag belt at the top through the top fans the leaf sorting belt the mini shakers down the discharge chute and the tables the destemmer above courtesy http www pellenc com all of these processes have related functions not the least being the bottom fans drag belt speed and ground speed i have discussed the top fans before essentially they operate at a very delicate moment that is when the fruit and juice is transferred to the leaf sorting belt as it is being catapulted off the belt and free falls onto the leaf sorting belt as it travels over this gap between these two processes the top fan pressure determines exactly how much of the mog is removed including also how much juice and grape berry is removed if this setting is not 80 90 of the top fans or is simply just too high the discharge duct from the fans will be awash with juice and mog and will be making a considerable mess once the matter is on the leaf sorting belt in conveyor technology terms it is just a transfer belt individual berries and juice drops through this belt onto the discharge tray which drops it all through the rollers and into the bin bunches are transferred through a second set of shakers much smaller and much faster where the berries and juice drops through while remaining mog runs off the end of the belt onto the discharge tray all fruit juice and mog land on the tables rollers and drops through into the collection bins where hopefully all mog and petioles are run off the side of the sorting tables and drop onto the ground fruit mog process courtesy http www pellenc com if you ever get a chance get up on top of the harvester whilst it is working and open the top hatch where the fruit is thrown off the drag belt and onto the leaf sorting belt it comes off at such a speed that fruit can fly out above the hatch onto the top of the top fan casing the drag belt is going through a 180 degree turn it isn t any wonder the driver can lose a lot of fruit at the bottom fans area where the drag belt goes through a similar movement at this point the fruit juice and mog is mid air and with the cove...
