Abstract: A unit for transferring horticultural products between at least one tank, in which the horticultural products float on a fluid mass, and at least one collection container, including a head provided with a plurality of walls normally arranged vertically. The head is movable between at least one collection position, in which the walls are interposed between respective horticultural products, which float on the fluid mass at a respective predefined section of the tank, and at least one unloading position, in which the walls face and are proximate to the collection container. In an active configuration, the transverse elements protrude transversely from the space occupation of the walls to ensure mechanical interference with the fall of the horticultural products as a consequence of the subsequent lifting of the head and of its transfer toward said unloading position.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing horticultural products, pushed along a tank of a respective processing line by a fluid current, on which the horticultural products can float freely. The apparatus includes at least one floating alignment matrix, provided with a base platform, which in turn can be submerged at a predefined section of the tank, and with a plurality of mutually parallel partitions extended at right angles from the upper face of the platform and, when the platform is submerged in the predefined section, at least rise above the free surface of the predefined section. Each pair of adjacent partitions can be arranged along the movement direction of the fluid current, thus defines a respective channel for automatic forced alignment for the horticultural products, pushed toward the predefined section by the fluid current.
