Choosing the right machine took farm profitability to unbelievable levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The initial skepticism turned into unwavering loyalty when Josep and Jordi Cos, father and son, discovered Arcusin\u2019s olive tree shaker. For years, they tested and bought machines from different brands but never got the results they expected. They even went through a couple of seasons without olives, blaming the weather\u2026 never suspecting that the real issue was the damage their trees suffered during each harvest. Everything changed when they finally decided to try an Arcusin.<\/p>\n

Josep and Jordi produce olive oil in a stunning location: a beautiful plantation at the foot of the Montserrat massif in Catalonia. There, between tradition and nature, their harvest has been completely transformed. What used to be a slow and expensive process is now pure efficiency, thanks to their AutoPick GTi. “Every day, we get oil the same day,” they say. Jordi explains proudly: “We harvest in the morning, take the olives to the mill at noon, where they\u2019re cleaned and crushed, and two hours later, we\u2019re back home with full drums.”<\/p>\n

Top-quality olive oil, no compromises<\/strong><\/p>\n

The oil they produce is of exceptional quality, especially from the Vera olive, a rare variety with a strong flavor and origins linked to the clergy. They also grow Arbequina and Palomar, expanding their offering without losing their essence.<\/p>\n

But what has truly changed their lives is the versatility of the AutoPick GTi. Its clamp adapts to all types of trees without damaging them, whether young or large. However, if they had to highlight one feature above all, they have no doubt: the vibration.<\/p>\n

A vibration that makes all the difference<\/strong><\/p>\n

While other machines need three or four passes to detach most of the fruit, the AutoPick GTi only needs two shakes at most to make all the olives fall onto the net. And it does so smoothly and in a controlled way\u2014no scattering outside the umbrella, no impacts that bruise the fruit, and, most importantly, no harm to the tree. Josep sums it up in one sentence: “If the vibration isn\u2019t right, it breaks the tree. It leaves it in bad shape. With Arcusin, it\u2019s like you didn\u2019t even touch it.” The benefit is immediate. “The tree recovers much faster. It prefers vibration over sticks,” Jordi adds with a smile.<\/p>\n

Unmatched profitability and efficiency<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AutoPick GTi\u2019s technology hasn\u2019t just optimized their production; it has made their business much more profitable. “With fewer people, you can harvest much faster. If we hired someone today and showed them how the machine works, they\u2019d be using it in a day, guaranteed. And in an eight-hour workday, with the shaker, you can do 250 to 300 trees,” Jordi explains. Before, production costs were unbearable. “Imagine paying fourteen people for a very traditional, very slow, and ineffective method,” he concludes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that the AutoPick GTi is already the fifth Arcusin shaker they\u2019ve bought. Josep is sure: “No other machine worked for me.” And when something works, there\u2019s no going back.<\/p>\n
