EXPAND R5090 Automatic harvesting tarpaulin for olive growing

The automatic roll-out tarpaulin for faster harvesting while protecting olive trees

Designed for olive growing, the EXPAND R5090 tarpaulin is a towed machine equipped with a system that automatically rolls out a tarpaulin on the ground for faster and easier harvesting.

By mechanising a traditional or intensive orchard with just three people, this new solution designed and manufactured by PELLENC allows more than 300 kg of fruit to be harvested in a single pass.  And with fruit collection and sorting carried out simultaneously and cleaning performed using fans, you save both working time and improve harvest quality.

Sustained productivity

  • Up to 300 kg of fruit harvested in a single pass, without damaging the trees
  • Average speed: one tree harvested every 30 to 45 seconds
  • Cycles adapted to the type of fruit: cherry trees (45 seconds), olive trees (60 seconds), dried fruit (30 seconds)

Respect for orchards and harvests

  • Gentle harvesting, without shaking or pinching: automatic tarpaulin tensioning and central valve to protect the bark
  • Conveyor designed to preserve fragile fruits
  • Integrated powerful blower: effective removal of leaves and debris

Maneuverability and adaptability in orchards

  • Articulated drawbar and steering wheels for easy manoeuvring in tight headlands
  • Adjustable cover width from 5.0 to 8.80 m depending on the orchard configuration
  • Adjustable trailer height – Suitable for plantations with ≥ 5 m between rows

Easy and intuitive control in the cab

  • Centralised electric controls on joystick in cab
  • Remote-controlled tarpaulin unwinding robot with automatic tension adjustment
  • Alignment camera, obstacle detector, LED lighting for day/night work

Clean harvesting and integrated sorting

  • Flow-controlled conveyor to transport fruit to the pallet boxes smoothly
  • Powerful blower to remove impurities and optimise harvest quality
  • Controllable conveyor belts at the rear to manage the final flow

Automatic tarpaulin for olive harvesting EXPAND R5090

Harvest tarpaulin

Adapt EXPAND to your orchards: tarpaulin width from 5.0 to 8.80 m and a choice of 6 or 11 battens to optimise fruit support and flow. Two types of tarpaulin are available depending on use (fragile fruit or olives/dried fruit). Right or left trailer depending on the layout of your rows, for uninterrupted flow and maximum efficiency.

Choose the right platform: standard double bin or double bin with hydraulic tilt correction and conveyor (ideal for bins containing liquids). Automatic levelling ensures safe filling, stabilises the load on slopes and simplifies logistics. Controls within easy reach to manage the filling and emptying of the bins without interrupting the workflow.

EXPAND automatic tarpaulin FAQ

A minimum 29 kW (40 hp) tractor is required with a 540 rpm PTO and 12 V power supply. This configuration ensures the proper functioning of the unroller robot and hydraulic systems.

Depending on the distance between the trees (>=3m) and the tree canopy, choose a width of 5.0 to 8.80m. Select 11 battens for better guidance of the harvest and fragile fruit.

Yes, the machine works on slopes of up to 15% and 10% side-slope. The bins platform with hydraulic tilt correction improves stability and safety when filling on side-slopes.

The tarpaulin tension is automatic, the central valve ensures a tight seal around the trunk and the conveyor limits shocks. The vacuum cleaner removes leaves and debris to deliver a clean harvest, ready for sorting and storage.

Under standard conditions, expect a cycle of approximately 60 seconds per tree and up to 300 kg collected in a few seconds on high loads. The articulated drawbar and camera facilitate manoeuvring to maintain the pace.
