About second-hand Garlic harvesters

Garlic, a member of the onion and leek family, is a crop cultivated worldwide, prominently featured in French and Mediterranean cuisines. Due to its high demand, over 29 million kilograms of garlic are harvested annually. The harvesting process requires precision and the right equipment. Modern harvesting is carried out using garlic harvesters, making the process faster and more careful, ensuring the bulbs remain in optimal condition.

Whether you are a small-scale grower or operate on a larger scale, investing in a specialized garlic harvester quickly proves its worth. Second-hand garlic harvesters, in particular, are a cost-effective option due to their lower initial investment, making them an attractive choice for many growers.

How Garlic Harvesters Work

Garlic harvesters are specialized agricultural machines designed to make garlic harvesting more efficient and less labor-intensive. Underground blades loosen the soil, while guides hold the stalks upright, allowing belts to lift the bulbs out of the ground and onto conveyors.

What happens next depends on the type of harvester. Some leave the garlic in the field for further processing, while others store it directly in crates on the machine. Larger harvesters can transfer the garlic straight to an accompanying collection vehicle, making them ideal for large-scale operations.

Why Choose Specialized Garlic Harvesters?

Harvesting garlic demands precision to prevent damage to the bulbs. Specialized garlic harvesters are designed to optimize this process, minimizing manual labor while enhancing efficiency, consistency, and quality. They are an indispensable investment for any professional garlic grower.

Benefits of Second-Hand Garlic Harvesters

Buying a second-hand garlic harvester offers significant advantages for both small and large growers.

Additionally, second-hand harvesters are usually immediately available, avoiding the long delivery times associated with new machines.

Sorting and Packaging Garlic

After harvesting, proper sorting and packaging of garlic are essential. Garlic is often sorted by size using a sorting machine. These machines feature different-sized holes that progressively increase in size along the conveyor. Smaller bulbs fall into collection bins early, while larger ones proceed further.

Sorting garlic by size is crucial for two reasons:

1. For Consumers: To ensure a uniform product.
2. For Growers: To select uniform garlic sizes for planting machines.

Once sorted, garlic must be stored correctly, often in ventilated crates, to allow further drying.
