FACMA MEK 1800 is a mounted machine designed for efficient mechanical harvesting of hazelnuts, chestnuts, and other nuts directly from the ground. It is mounted on tractors with a three-point linkage (front or rear) and operates via the PTO at 540 rpm.
Harvesting is carried out using horizontal brushes that guide the fruit toward augers and interchangeable sieves for primary cleaning. A fan then conveys the crop into bags or a trailer. An optional side inter-row brush can be added if required.
