En el caso concreto de la recogida de aceituna, realizada habitualmente con máquinas que succionan el fruto mediante dispositivos sometidos al efecto de una depresión, es un hecho habitual que, junto con la aceituna, se arranquen también hojas del olivo que son absorbidas hacia el interior del dispositivo recolector, mezcladas y revueltas con el fruto. Normalmente, como se ha dicho antes, con anterioridad a que la aceituna sea depositada en los depósitos receptores de la almazara, debe ser limpiada para evitar que las hojas u otras impurezas sean prensadas junto con el fruto. Ello conlleva instalaciones de una cierta complejidad, y por supuesto de un coste elevado.In the specific case of olive harvesting, usually performed with machines that suck the fruit through devices subjected to the effect of depression, it is a usual fact that, along with the olive, they also start olive leaves that are absorbed into the device harvester, mixed and scrambled with the fruit. Normally as It has been said before, before the olive is deposited in the receiver deposits of the mill, must be cleaned to prevent leaves or other impurities from being pressed along with the fruit. This entails installations of a certain complexity, and of course a high cost.

La presente invención se ha propuesto como objetivo principal el hecho de proporcionar una máquina de concepción simple, sencilla y económica de fabricar, mediante la que resulte posible llevar a cabo la recogida de la aceituna con una separación efectiva y eficaz de las impurezas que pueda transportar, de manera que cuando la aceituna se recoge sobre el remolque o sobre algún otro tipo de contenedor, depósito o recipiente de almacenaje o transporte, dicha aceituna haya sido limpiada previamente de impurezas, de manera automática, y con las impurezas recogidas en una posición distinta para su posterior retirada y eliminación o reciclaje. Este objetivo ha sido plenamente alcanzado mediante la máquina que va a ser objeto de descripción detallada en lo que sigue, y cuyas características principales están recogidas en la parte caracterizadora de la reivindicación 1 anexa.The present invention has been proposed as main objective the fact of providing a machine simple, simple and economical conception of manufacturing, through that it is possible to carry out the olive harvest with an effective and effective separation of impurities that may transport, so that when the olive is collected on the trailer or on some other type of container, tank or storage or transport vessel, said olive has been previously cleaned of impurities, automatically, and with the impurities collected in a different position for later removal and disposal or recycling.
