– Josep & Jordi Cos, Spain | AutoPick GTi
Josep and Jordi Cos, a father-and-son team, weren’t always believers in Arcusin. For years, they tried different olive tree shakers without success. They even blamed bad harvests on the weather, never suspecting that the real problem was the damage their trees suffered during each collection. Everything changed when they decided to try the AutoPick GTi.
From their farm at the base of Montserrat (Barcelona), where they produce high-quality olive oil, they’ve experienced a complete transformation. What was once a slow and expensive process is now fast and efficient. “Every day, we get fresh oil the same day,” they say. They harvest in the morning, take the olives to the mill by midday, and within a couple of hours, they’re back home with full containers.
They cultivate varieties like Vera, Arbequina, and Palomar, always prioritizing excellence. But the real game-changer has been the precision of the AutoPick GTi. Its vibration system ensures the olives fall gently into the net—no rough impacts, no harm to the tree. “If the vibration isn’t right, the tree suffers. With Arcusin, it’s like you haven’t even touched it,” Josep explains.
Beyond improving oil quality, the AutoPick GTi has made their business far more efficient. “With fewer workers, we harvest much faster,” Jordi says. In just eight hours, they can process 250 to 300 trees—something unimaginable with traditional methods.
After testing multiple machines, Josep and Jordi have found their go-to solution. In fact, this is already their fifth Arcusin shaker. “No other machine has ever worked for me,” Josep concludes.
