Agriculture | n. m.
Machine that is used for windrowing and harvest and consists of brushes activated by an engine that sweep the fruit.

Example

This is an olive sweeper that is very similar to the ICARDA medic pod harvester. The olives are swept into the catching tray in the front of the machine.

Additional information

even if its use is becoming widespread, just as the hoover, the sweeper has the disadvantage that it collects soil and therefore a cleaner should be used after wards. It can also damage the skin of ripe fruits.
