Surveillance cameras and lighting fixtures are installed in the fruit loading, transport, and unloading areas, enhancing operator safety and simplifying process monitoring and machine maintenance. The equipment cabin features improved ergonomics, including air conditioning and heating, user-friendly controls, a clearly structured panel, and an intuitive interface, reducing operator fatigue and improving control precision.
The power plant is a powerful and fuel-efficient Cummins engine, equipped with an active reverse-flow cooling system. This significantly improves heat dissipation in the engine and hydraulic system, preventing overheating even during long, continuous operation, and increasing overall equipment reliability.

The machine is equipped with two fuel tanks, reducing the frequency of refueling and increasing continuous operation time. The use of all-wheel hydraulic drive and all-wheel steering ensures excellent maneuverability, maneuverability, and traction on all types of soil. The hydraulic contour following mechanism allows the header to closely follow the ground, reducing soil stress and improving harvest quality.
The conveyor speed is infinitely adjustable hydraulically, and the rollers have an anti-twist design, improving transport efficiency, extending component life, and reducing the risk of breakage. The fruit-top separation mechanism features a balanced design, and the vibrating rods are made of improved composite materials, reducing damage to the tomatoes, ensuring smooth operation, and simplifying maintenance. A safety sensor is installed on the vibrating unit cover, providing additional protection for the operator and maintenance personnel.
Particular attention has been paid to the sorting system: the machine is equipped with a two-channel color selection system with modern software. The operating frequency of the sorting elements reaches35 times per second, conveyor speed – up to70 meters per minute, which guarantees high sorting accuracy, selection of high-quality fruits and removal of foreign impurities.
Thanks to its comprehensive design approach, high-quality components, and advanced technology, the 4FZ-1.5 machine delivers high productivity, excellent harvesting results, low operating costs, and a long service life. It is the ideal choice for large agricultural enterprises, farms, and production facilities involved in tomato cultivation and processing.
