A mid-size macadamia farm operating mechanical harvesting and sweeping equipment was experiencing inconsistent nut pickup and accelerated wear of key harvesting components during peak season.
The farm required:
- Durable 28” finger wheels
- High-quality sweeper rods with improved UV resistance
Before committing to large-scale replacement, the farm requested a trial test of NouRix components under real orchard conditions.
The Trial: 28” Yellow & Black Finger Wheels
NouRix supplied:
- 28” yellow finger wheels (soft compound,reinforced structure)
- 28” black finger wheels (hard compound, reinforced structure)
- Black nylon sweeper rods
Test Objectives:
- Evaluate pickup efficiency
- Assess structural durability
- Compare wear rate against existing finger wheels and parts
Performance Results
After several months of harvesting operations, the farm observed:
- Improved nut pickup consistency
- Reduced bending and deformation
- Minimal wear on black nylon sweeper rods, better UV stability under prolonged sun exposure
Reorder Decision
Following successful field performance, the farm proceeded with a bulk order of:
- 1,500 pieces of 28” finger wheels (yellow and black combined)
- 12 boxes of black nylon sweeper rods
