Patent - FR2919460 - Grape sorting system with an integrated stripping device

This patented invention is a device used to sort (1) each load of harvested wine grapes. It has been conceived for use with a harvesting machine. The aforementioned grape sorting device includes at least two transverse sorting bars (3) that operate with a cyclic movement that carries the grape load along the bars, creating space (4) between them and therefore allowing the detached berries to fall under the sorting device.

The invention also consists of a separation unit that includes a separation and stripping device, as well as a harvesting machine that features a separation and eventually a sorting device.
