Compressors for olive harvesting and pruning with 500 l compressor tank

Olive harvesting or pruning compressors are used to powering harvesters, pneumatic scissors and other compressed air tools. They allow you to work more efficiently and quickly by significantly reducing the time and effort required to harvest.

There are different types of compressor for harvesters, each with specific characteristics:

• Combustion engine compressors: Equipped with an internal combustion engine, they are powerful and reliable. These models reduce the charging time of conventional batteries due to their ability to provide constant and long-lasting energy.
• Tractor-driven compressors: Driven by a tractor, these compressors are ideal for those who already own an agricultural tractor and want to use this resource to power their air tools.
• Motor compressors with electric motor: Powered by a common power outlet, these compressors offer instant start-up and start-up, providing a quick and convenient solution for environments where electricity is easily accessible.
• Accessories for motor compressors: A wide range of accessories including pipes, filters and fittings, indispensable for the correct operation and maintenance of your compressors.

Compressors and motor compressors are mainly used to power pneumatic equipment such as harvesters, tools used to facilitate the harvesting of olives from trees, or other pruning tools such as pneumatic pruning shears. These compressors provide the energy needed to run the harvesters, allowing them to effectively shake the branches and drop the olives without damaging the tree. The use of olive harvesting compressors is particularly advantageous in large-scale operations, where speed and efficiency are essential for completing the harvest in a short time.

The main tasks facilitated by olive harvesting or pruning compressors include:

• Feeding harvesters and pneumatic pruning shears: The compressors provide compressed air to the blasters, allowing them to operate continuously and powerfully throughout the working day.
• Support in remote areas: Petrol driven olive compressors are particularly useful in areas away from the mains where access to energy is limited or absent.
• Collection Optimization: The compressors allow more olives to be harvested in less time, reducing the need for labour and increasing harvesting efficiency.

These compressors can be used in both professional and semi-professional environments.The power-burst and tractor models are particularly suitable for intensive and continuous use typical of large farms. Electric models, on the other hand, are more suitable for domestic or hobby use where olive harvesting is done on a small scale.

Each compressor consists of several key components, each of which plays a crucial role in the overall operation and performance of the machine.

• Motor: The heart of every compressor is the engine, which can be either burst, electric or connected to a tractor. Combustion engines, often branded Honda or Loncin, are known for their power and reliability, ideal for prolonged use and in contexts where recharging times need to be reduced. Electric motors, on the other hand, offer immediate start-up and are ideal for those who have a stable power source. Tractor compressors use the power of your agricultural tractor, making them particularly useful in professional settings.
• Motion System: Compressors can be push or self-propelled. Self-propelled models move independently with a pair of drive wheels, making it easier to transport and use in uneven terrain. Push compressors, on the other hand, require the strength of the operator to move, making them lighter and more manoeuvrable in tight spaces or on flat surfaces.
• Pump: The compressor can be equipped with a single or two stage pump. The single-stage pump compresses the air only once, providing a simpler and lighter solution, suitable for equipment that does not require excessively high pressure. The two-stage pump compresses the air twice, allowing higher pressures to be achieved and ensuring a constant and abundant air flow, ideal for intensive and continuous use.
• Air tank: The tank capacity ranges from 2 to 74 litres, with some models boasting maxi tanks up to 272 litres. A larger reservoir provides a greater air reserve, reducing pump restart times and ensuring a constant air flow during use.
• Air tank: The tank capacity ranges from 2 to 74 litres, with some models boasting maxi tanks up to 272 litres. A larger reservoir provides a greater air reserve, reducing pump restart times and ensuring a constant air flow during use.

The operation of the compressors for pneumatic harvesters or scissors is based on a process of compressing air, which is then used to power pneumatic tools. The basic principle is relatively simple: The compressor draws in air from the outside environment, compresses it into a tank, and then releases it under pressure to supply connected implements.

• Engine and power transmission: The engine, which can be internal combustion, electric or tractor-powered, is the component responsible for generating the power required to run the compressor.
• Compression system: Once the motor has generated the necessary power, this is used to drive the compressor pump. In single-stage pump models, air is compressed once before being stored in the tank. On models with a two-stage pump, the air is compressed twice, increasing the pressure inside the tank and ensuring a greater supply of compressed air.
• Air tank and air management: The tank is the component in which compressed air is stored. Depending on the capacity of the vessel, the compressor may provide a continuous air flow for longer or shorter periods without having to restart the pump.
• Automatic power adjustment: Some advanced models are equipped with an automatic throttle that senses the need for more power and automatically increases engine revs. This system optimizes the use of fuel or electricity and reduces stress on the engine, thereby extending its service life.
• Compressed air distribution: Compressed air is distributed from the reservoir to the air tools via pipes and fittings. In advanced systems, compressors can handle multiple air outlets, allowing several harvesters to be connected and used simultaneously.

Olive harvesting and pruning compressors offer many advantages over other harvesting or pruning methods, making them indispensable tools. These advantages are particularly evident when comparing compressors with other harvesting technologies, such as handheld equipment or electric harvesters.

• Increased power and autonomy: Petrol-driven motor compressors in particular provide more power than electrically-powered harvesters. Their ability to operate without interruption for long hours makes these compressors ideal for large-scale collections, where continuity of work is essential.
• Operational efficiency: Tractor compressors harness the power of the agricultural tractor, eliminating the need for a separate power source. This allows pneumatic equipment to be used in remote areas where access to electricity is restricted or absent.
• Versatile use: With the ability to feed several harvesters at the same time, the compressors allow a significant increase in productivity. This feature is particularly useful for large farms, where large numbers of olives need to be harvested in a short time.
• Fatigue reduction: Using compressors to harvest olives significantly reduces physical fatigue compared to manual methods. Compressor-powered pneumatic harvesters require less effort from the operator, allowing them to work longer without fatigue.
• Durability: Olive harvesting compressors are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions, such as exposure to dust and heat. The robustness and reliability of these instruments ensure a long service life, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Olive harvesting compressors are divided into different types, each designed to meet specific operating needs. Among the main features there are:

• Petrol-driven olive compressors: Ideal for those who need power and autonomy in areas without access to electricity.
• Tractor-driven compressors: Perfect for those who already own an agricultural tractor and want to harness its power.
• Olive compressors with electric motor: Practical for those working in areas where access to electricity is available and continuous.
• Accessories for Engine-driven Air Compressors: Essential components and accessories for the correct operation and maintenance of compressors.

Petrol driven olive compressors are one of the most powerful and self-contained solutions for olive harvesting.

Equipped with petrol or diesel engines, these compressors are designed to operate in remote areas where no electrical power source is available. The internal combustion engine, often from well-known brands such as Honda or Loncin, ensures constant and long-lasting power, allowing you to power one or more stabbers for several hours without interruption.

The main advantage of portable combustion compressors is their independence from the power grid, making them ideal for operations on large terrain or in hilly areas. With the ability to power up to ten catchers at the same time, these compressors maximize working time, reducing the need to stop for charging or replacing batteries. In addition, their robustness makes them resistant to the wear and tear of agricultural work.

Starting these compressors is made easy by an electrical system that eliminates the need to use the classic rope, thus speeding up operation and reducing operator effort. This makes them particularly suitable for professional and intensive use, where continuity and reliability are essential to ensure effective collection.

Tractor compressors are an ideal choice if you own an agricultural tractor and want to use it as a power source for harvesting olives. These compressors do not have a stand-alone motor but connect directly to the tractor crankshaft via a Power take-off (PTO) drive system. This system harnesses the power of the tractor, making it possible to operate harvesters and other pneumatic tools without the need for additional fuel or electricity.

One of the main advantages of tractor compressors is their energy efficiency. Because they use the tractor's existing power, they do not require any additional operating costs other than the tractor's fuel. This makes them an economical and practical solution for farms that already use tractors for other tasks. In addition, tractor compressors are generally lighter and more compact than stand-alone motor compressors, making them easier to transport and install.

These compressors are particularly suitable for large cultivated areas where the tractor can be used to move through the olive groves, feeding the harvesters without interruption. Their ability to operate multiple instruments simultaneously makes them ideal for large-scale operations, ensuring fast and efficient harvesting.

Electric motor driven portable compressors are a practical and quiet solution for olive harvesting, particularly suitable in situations where a stable electrical power source is available. These compressors are powered by a common power outlet and offer instant start-up and continuous operation without the need for fuel or maintenance of the combustion engine.

The use of an electric motor significantly reduces noise during operations, making these compressors ideal for noise-sensitive environments, such as residential areas or close to dwellings. Moreover, the absence of polluting emissions makes them an environmentally friendly choice.

These compressors are equipped with air receivers of different capacities ranging from compact models for hobby use to larger versions for semi-professional operations. Their ability to operate several harvesters at the same time makes them versatile, although generally less powerful than combustion or tractor models. However, they are easy to use and require less maintenance, making them a convenient choice for those operating in areas with stable access to electricity.

Motor compressor accessories are essential components to ensure the correct operation and maintenance of compressors used in olive harvesting. The main accessories include:

• Connecting pipes: Essential for connecting the compressor to the catchers, the pipes must be strong and flexible, able to withstand high pressures without air leakage.
• Quick joints They allow a safe and fast connection between the compressor and the air tools, facilitating assembly and disassembly.
• Pipe reel: For winding up connecting hoses quickly and neatly.
• Pneumatic extension rods: Essential for reaching branches at high heights without climbing uncomfortable and dangerous stairs.

Compressors and portable compressors have different technical characteristics that determine their efficiency, power and versatility. These features are key to choosing the model that best fits your operational needs. Among the main features there are:

• Engine type: Petrol, electric or tractor, each with specific advantages in terms of power and autonomy.
• Start-up system: Electric or manual to facilitate compressor start-up.
• Movement mode: Push or self-propelled to adapt to different ground conditions.
• Pump type: Single or two-stage, affecting the pressure and capacity of the compressor.
• Air tank capacity: Variable to handle different amounts of compressed air.
• Air intake: It measures the amount of air that the compressor can move, expressed in litres per minute.
• Automatic throttle: To optimize the power to suit your needs.
• Number of harvesters that can be operated: The ability to power multiple instruments simultaneously.

The type of motor is one of the most important characteristics of the harvester compressors, as it determines the power, range and applicability of the compressor in different operating contexts.

Combustion engines, for example, offer high power and a great range, making them ideal for use in remote areas where electricity is not available. These engines, often from well-known brands such as Honda or Loncin, guarantee reliability and consistent performance even under difficult operating conditions.

Electric motors, on the other hand, provide immediate starting and quiet operation, ideal for those operating in residential settings or where access to the electricity grid is guaranteed. Finally, tractor compressors harness the power of the tractor's drive shaft, making them extremely efficient in terms of fuel consumption and convenience, especially for those who already use the tractor for other agricultural operations.

The starting system is another key feature that affects the ease of use of the compressor. Models with electric start are particularly appreciated for their convenience. These compressors are started simply by pressing a button or turning a key, eliminating the need to pull a cord as is the case with manually started models. This not only facilitates starting but also reduces the risk of rope wear problems or cold starting difficulties common in manual models.

Pneumatic scissor and olive harvester compressors can be push or self-propelled, and the choice between these two modes depends mainly on the type of terrain and operational requirements.

Pusher compressors are generally lighter and more manageable, ideal for use on level ground or in confined spaces. However, they require manual operator intervention to be moved.

The self-propelled models, on the other hand, are equipped with drive wheels that allow the machine to move autonomously, reducing the physical effort of the operator and making it easier to work on uneven or sloping terrain. This feature is particularly useful in olive groves located on hills or in hard-to-reach areas.

The type of pump installed in the compressor directly affects the maximum achievable pressure and the efficiency of the compressor.

Single stage pumps compress air only once, providing a simpler, lighter solution sufficient for most common applications. These compressors are ideal for those who use air tools that do not require very high pressure.

Two-stage pumps, on the other hand, compress the air in two stages, allowing higher pressures to be achieved and providing a greater air supply. This makes them particularly suitable for intensive and long-term use, where constant pressure must be maintained to power multiple implements at the same time.

The capacity of the air receiver is a determining factor for the operational autonomy of the compressor. The smaller tanks, with a capacity ranging from 2 to 74 litres, are sufficient for small-scale operations where the need for compressed air is limited. However, for larger and more continuous applications, it is advisable to choose compressors with larger tanks, such as those with large tanks that can hold up to 272 litres. A larger reservoir reduces the number of compression cycles, ensuring a constant air flow and decreasing downtime.

The intake air, measured in litres per minute (l/min), indicates the amount of air that the compressor is able to move and compress. This characteristic is crucial in determining the efficiency of the compressor and its ability to power pneumatic tools. The most common models for olive harvesting offer an air flow of between 350 l/min and 750 l/min. A higher value of sucked air means that the compressor can feed several harvesters at the same time or maintain a constant pressure even during prolonged use.

Theautomatic throttle is an advanced function on some olive harvesting compressors. This system automatically adjusts engine revolutions according to the power demand, increasing compressor efficiency and reducing fuel or energy consumption. Thanks to this feature, the compressor responds dynamically to changes in load, optimizing performance and extending engine life.

One of the most important features for those using compressors for olive harvesting is the number of harvesters that the compressor can operate simultaneously This capacity varies depending on the model, with some compressors capable of powering up to 10 harvesters simultaneously. This feature is particularly useful for large-scale operations, where productivity must be maximized, reducing downtime and optimizing resource utilization.

When choosing an olive harvesting compressor, it is important to consider several factors that will affect the effectiveness and efficiency of the work. Choosing the right compressor depends on your specific operating needs, the size of the olive grove and the availability of resources such as electricity or tractor. Here are some tips to guide you through your selection:

• Engine type: For those working in remote areas without access to electricity, petrol-driven olive oil compressors are the best choice to guarantee autonomy and power. If, on the other hand, you have a tractor, tractor compressors offer an efficient and practical solution by utilising the power already available. In environments where electricity can be used, electric mobile air compressors are ideal for quiet operation and easy maintenance.
• Tank capacity: If the goal is to work over large areas without interruption, a compressor with a large tank capacity, such as models with a maxi tank up to 272 litres, may be the optimal solution. These compressors reduce restart times and guarantee a constant air flow to feed several harvesters at the same time.
• Number of harvesters that can be operated: For large-scale operations, it is essential to choose a compressor that can feed many harvesters, thus reducing harvesting time and optimising operational efficiency. Some models can operate up to 10 harvesters simultaneously, making them ideal for larger farms.
