The paper presents experimental modular equipment for nutty fruits harvesting in any orchard size. The main part of the equipment consists in pneumatically shock wave generator that realizes short air shock wave that replaces high velocity wind blast. The described procedure is a non-contact method that determines no damage of the tree trunk/ branches (well-known on tree vibration shaking system). The paper presents the technical possibility to extend this procedure, with an adequate equipment adaptation for nutty fruits harvest in small or larger farms.
