Tractor-Driven Coffee Pre-Cleaner

Description

Tractor-Driven Coffee Pre-Cleaner PA-ABA/T | 4-7 TON/HR Mechanical Shaker for Harvest

Optimize your harvest efficiency and reduce processing labor with the PA-ABA/T Tractor-Driven Mechanical Shaker. This robust coffee pre-cleaner is designed to be directly mounted to the 3-point hitch of any tractor, allowing you to clean 4-7 tons of fresh coffee cherries per hour right in the field. By removing leaves, soil, light wood, and other field debris before transport, it streamlines your workflow and significantly improves the quality of coffee entering the washing station.

How It Works: Efficient Field-Side Cleaning

The PA-ABA/T integrates a multi-stage cleaning process powered directly by your tractor:

1. Controlled Feeding: Coffee cherries are fed through an inlet hopper for steady flow regulation.

2. Air Cleaning: An adjustable fan blows away lightweight impurities like leaves and husks, leaving them in the field as natural mulch.

3. Sieve Separation: A primary sieve removes soil and earth, while a specialized secondary sieve filters out larger debris like twigs and stones.

4. Clean Output: Purified cherries are discharged via a log spout, ready for bagging and transport to the washing station.

Key Benefits for Coffee Producers

• Tractor-Powered & Mobile: Uses your existing tractor’s PTO (power take-off) and hitch—no separate engine or power source required. Clean cherries at the harvest site.

• Leaves Impurities in the Field: Blown leaves and light debris remain on the farm, reducing transport weight and post-harvest waste at the processing station.

• Protects Downstream Equipment: By removing abrasive soil and larger debris, it prevents damage and wear on washers, pulpers, and destoners.

• Improves Washer Efficiency & Final Quality: Delivering pre-cleaned cherries to your washer (like the PA-LAV) allows it to operate at peak efficiency, focusing on density separation rather than basic debris removal, resulting in higher-grade parchment.

• High Capacity: Processes 4-7 tons per hour, keeping pace with mechanical or large-scale manual harvesting.

Who Should Use the PA-ABA/T Pre-Cleaner?

• Coffee Farms & Large Estates using tractors and seeking to streamline harvest logistics.

• Cooperatives & Washing Stations that receive deliveries of freshly harvested cherries.

• Processors Focused on Quality who want to eliminate field debris at the very first stage.

• Farmers in Areas with High Soil or Leaf Contamination during harvest.

The First Line of Defense for Coffee Quality

The PA-ABA/T isn’t just a cleaner—it’s a harvest management tool. By performing the first clean at the point of harvest, it reduces labor, cuts transport costs of unwanted material, and ensures that only the best cherries move forward in the processing line. This upfront investment in quality pays dividends in equipment longevity, processing efficiency, and the final market value of your coffee.

Clean smarter from the very start. Integrate field-side cleaning into your harvest.
