The present invention describes a saffron collecting device (1) comprising—a sensor unit (2) arranged for identifying pistils of saffron flowers; —a pick unit (3) arranged for removal of the pistils or part thereof from the saffron flowers when the sensor unit (2) has identified the location of the pistils; and —a collector unit (4) arranged for collecting the pistils or part thereof in a collecting space (5).

The present disclosure is directed to a rotary drum trimming apparatus for trimming plants, in particular, buds and flowers, to remove unwanted plant material. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to a rotary drum trimming apparatus that incorporates a separator for efficiently separating severed plant material from an airstream that carried the severed plant materials away from a rotary trimming drum

Tables for sorting agricultural producta. The tables include legs, a deck, and a vibration generator. The deck is supported on the legs. The deck includes a loading end, a terminal end, and a grate. The terminal end is opposite the loading end. The grate extends between the loading end and the terminal end and defines the grate openings. The vibration generator is mounted to the deck and configured to vibrate the deck. The grate supports agricultural products that are larger than the grate openings. Agricultural products that are smaller than the grate openings pass through the grate. The vibration generator vibrating the deck causes the agricultural products to move across the deck over the grate.

A system for separating cut food products includes a flow inlet, a flow outlet, and at least one drum connecting the flow inlet and the flow outlet. The flow inlet may be oriented to direct the cut food product tangentially into the at least one drum. The flow inlet may be oriented to direct the cut food product into the at least one drum at a right angle to a longitudinal axis of the at least one drum. The at least one drum may be a plurality of drums including a first drum having the flow inlet and a second drum having the flow outlet. The system may include a passageway providing fluid communication from the first drum to the second drum. The passageway may include a tapered section. The flow inlet may be aligned with the flow outlet.

A discrete conveyance unit for blueberries and similar fruit or vegetable products that can be installed in series along a processing line for blueberries, or similar fruit or vegetable products, includes a central plate, which can be moved cyclically along at least one portion of the line. The unit further includes a plurality of axially symmetrical supporting elements which are coupled to respective opposite lateral edges of the plate. Each adjacent pair of elements defines a respective support and accommodation seat for a corresponding blueberry, or similar fruit or vegetable product, so as to allow its discrete conveyance along the at least one portion of the line.
