Abstract: A foldable conveyor belt used in an apparatus, such as a grape harvesting machine, whereby the belt separates different dimensions material such as grapes form the pedicles. The belt includes a series of aligned projections along a base and defining a channel pattern, each projection having a free end, the projections supporting the grapes and the pedicles to be separated. For the cleaning of grapes and pedicles the width of the channel pattern is greater than the pedicles but smaller than the grapes. The belt is then folded longitudinally and inwardly causing the projections to capture the pedicles or part extending in the channels. As the pedicles are captured the belt is inverted causing only the grapes to fall away, typically to another belt. The belt is then unfolded but is still inverted causing the now free pedicles to drop onto yet another belt. Thus the grapes and the pedicles are efficiently separated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for the separation of fruit from other plant matter. In particular, the present invention relates to an apparatus for the separation of Material Other than Grapes (MOG) from viable berries during the harvesting of wine grapes. The improved MOG remover is able to be used in conjunction with conventional harvesting machinery and ensures that the harvested material is in contact with a separation conveyer for a long enough period of time to result in the full separation of the berries from the MOG. The separation conveyer is able to be adjusted to compensate for variations in terrain and the degree of difficulty of separating the berries from bunches. This ensures that the apparatus 10 is able to function effectively whilst the loss of viable berries is minimised.
