摘要

Mexico is the major global producer of cactus prickly pear fruit, harvesting 510,000 tonnes per year. Insufficient technology to bridge the gaps on production chain halts this agroindustry to reach its full potential. Hand harvesting of cactus fruit is greatly inefficient; it is slow and expensive, field conditions are arduous, unsafe and risky. Cactus plant is entirely covered with thorns, while cactus fruit has easily detachable microscopic hairs that stuck in bare skin; scaring off untrained workers. Inexpert handling of cactus fruit encourage injuries and yield losses amount up to 10 %. During hand harvesting, ripe fruits are grabbed by workers wearing rubber or leather gloves. Fruits are detached from the cactus plant by sliding a knife through the fruit's pedicel and then be dropped into buckets, conveyed from plant to plant until filled and then unloaded into pallet boxes for transport to storage. An innovative mechanism was designed which is assisted by a pneumatic system for creating a vacuum pressure inside a hose. When sucking, a yielding doughnut made of a thin flexible rubber placed at hose's end performs a gentle but firm grabbing rounding of the fruit, so bending tunas for cutting is easier and safer. Labourer does not touch the fruit at all. Glochids, although imperceptible they are vacuumed through the hose and trapped in a filter. All gears were installed over a trailer and the apparatus can couple four harvesting mechanisms without affecting pressure, allowing unrestrained movement of workers, simultaneously and independently of each other, and released them from the burden of carrying the bucket the whole harvesting day. Since apparatus is pulled between rows; workers walk along both sides of row, so labour productivity is increased up to four times. Mechanised harvesting of prickly pear cactus fruit, secures a safer work environment for labourers, increase labour producctiviy and higher income resulting in better quality fruit -being is delivered to the market.
