  • Patent number: 10238037
    Abstract: A harvesting device for agricultural products having an elongated shape, includes a frame having a main extension direction, a plurality of harvesting elements for agricultural products, each including an elongated harvesting prong, a plurality of bands attached to the frame, arranged along the main extension direction and spaced apart so that each harvesting element is at least partially interposed between two successive bands. A transport path includes a first section, where a prong portion radially outside the band has a constant or increasing size, and a second section, where a prong portion radially outside the band has a decreasing size to a disengagement point. A plurality of sorting members is each associated to a band and positioned below the band, along the second section of the transport path, in which each sorting member is rotatable about its central axis.

  • Patent number: 9668422
    Abstract: A device for harvesting long agricultural products, such as grass, straw, pulses, biomass products and the like, includes a frame having a main axis of extension, a plurality of agricultural product harvesting elements, each in turn equipped with at least one long harvesting prong, a movement system for moving each of the harvesting elements along a closed trajectory surrounding the main axis of extension, and a plurality of bands fixed to the frame, positioned one after another and spaced out along the main axis of extension. The device also includes a conveyor unit including an elongate body extending along its own axis of rotation and provided with at least one peripheral step forming an agricultural product feed shoulder extending, along an axis which is substantially radial relative to said axis of rotation, between an edge proximal to the axis of rotation and an edge distal from the axis of rotation.

  • Patent number: 9615513
    Abstract: A device for harvesting long agricultural products, such as grass, straw, pulses, biomass products, including a first unit (2) and a second unit (3) for picking up the agricultural products extending along a relative main line (A) and equipped with pick-up device (4, 6) configured to pick up from the ground the agricultural products and an unloading device (5, 7) operatively located downstream of the pick-up device (4, 6) and movable along the main line (A) for releasing the agricultural products. The harvesting device also includes a frame (9) having one or more portions (9a) connectable to the front of a self-propelled agricultural unit (100) and provided with a first connecting and supporting member (10) and second connecting and supporting member (11) associated respectively with the first pick-up unit (2) and the second pick-up unit (3) and positioned on opposite sides of the frame (9) relative to a middle line (D) of the frame (9) which is orthogonal to the main line (A).
