Green Beans

PMC BH7133

The PMC BH7133 has been specifically designed for the harvesting of green beans and soya beans. A well proven concept the machine continues to evolve, incorporating continuous design improvements for better performance and reduced maintenance. Suitable for both processing and fresh market produce the BH7133 offers a gentle unloading system with its high capacity variable height discharge hopper and optional plastic interlock conveyor. The harvester is a four-wheel hydrostatic drive machine powered by a 209kW liquid cooled turbo charged intercooled engine. Un-harvested crop damage is kept to a minimum by the path of the articulated frame, which enables the machine to work in small areas, and also by the crab steering on the front wheels which maximises clearance between the wheels and crop. The Claas Vista climate controlled cabin allows excellent all round visibility and operator comfort, complete with PMC’s latest HVSt touch screen electronic monitoring and control system. The BH7133 can also be adapted to harvest other crops such as spinach.

Oxbo VST & Even Feeder

Pixall VST

Used around the world, Oxbo's Pixall VST can be used in single as well as multiple installation. The photo shows five Pixall VST's being used side-by-side to clean and grade large quantities of green beans in a large commercial fresh market operation. Oxbo's Pixall Vibratory Sorting Table (VST) eliminates pin beans, broken beans, rocks, leaves, and other field debris, assuring a clean, high quality fresh market product that appeals to the quality-conscious wholesale buyer as well as the supermarket shopper. By removing debris--non-saleable material--you can increase the perception of your product. Wholesale buyers are sensitive to "settlings" in the bottom of the box. Clean, sorted, and graded beans make for repeat purchases and greater profitability. A variable speed feed brush regulates the flow of beans from the rear landing area onto the gently vibrating two-stage stainless steel sorting pans. The VST requires no optional or extra-cost pans or screens. Grading for varying lengths is quickly and easily changed by merely adjusting the pan gate openings.

Pixall Even Feeder

Oxbo's Pixall Even Feeder enhances the hour output of the VST and eliminates one worker from the bean packing line. The Even Feeder's generous five bushel hopper can be filled and allowed to run unattended for five minutes. One packing line worker can quickly fill the hopper and return to work packing beans. The Even Feeder's cleated rubber conveyor gently distributes beans evenly across the VST's entire 36-inch (91cm) width. Metered feeding at a rate of 60 bushels per hour keeps the VST sorting table uniformly supplied with product and keeps your bean line moving, increasing production. The Even feeder reduces labor inputs and boosts output which increases your overall profitability picture
