MACHINE
PICKING
AT
THE PICKING MACHINE
This photo shows the system at
another picking
machine. You will note there is only one contiuous chain
which means only one trailer can be unloaded at a time.
Instead of hooks for the bines there are containers with
spring
loaded clamps. A lever releases the clamp, the end of the
bine is
put in and on releasing the lever, the bine is firmly held.
At the front of the trailer the metal pole slots for the bines can be
seen.
