Follow along as we show you how to quickly clean wild blueberries using a ramp. I pick using a berry picker and have a lot of leaves and small sticks in with the berries. Most traditional blueberry pickers will always argue that it is better to pick the berries clean by hand a few at a time, finding having to clean the berries too tedious and time consuming. Well let me show you how to make cleaning berries a fast and efficient process.

I never have enough time, so I go full out when I get the chance to pick, I can pick 3 to 1 using a berry picker and with the berry ramp it's super easy to clean them.

Wow! The best video I’ve seen for cleaning blueberries…the audio isn’t great but the content is fantastic! Approximately what 5:10 angle is the screen on would you say? You mentioned that dry blueberries are best for…

@gibbsadventures12 11 ай бұрын

Not sure exactly but I play around with the angle to control the speed at which the berries roll down the ramp, to fast and the green ones will not hang up on the ramp. I just use pieces of wood to adjust the angle until I like the speed.

Did you use flat and expanded metal for the filter?

@Kiltoonie 11 ай бұрын

I also use a Swedish comb, and reduce litter by skimming gently. Then I sort by hand in flat trays. Its not too bad, but I don't have such huge volumes.

Get yourself a berry cleaning tray reduces the work of clean 10-fold.

Great video. Very interested in the mesh size. Where did you source the wire mesh. Great job.

@gibbsadventures12 4 жыл бұрын

being a thirfty person the mesh comes from heavy equipment air filters. The air filter cartridgate comes incase with the wire mesh, just take a small grinder and remove.

@elisheppard3058 4 жыл бұрын

Great source. Unfortunately I do not have access to air filters. Could you measure the size of the holes in the screen and let me know. Let me know to the closest 16th or in mm. Thanks.

@bestword7 3 жыл бұрын

what angle is your ramp set at? Looks like a great berry cleaning method!

@gibbsadventures12 3 жыл бұрын

I believe it is roughly a 35 degree angle you want the berries to roll down the ramp at a speed that will remove the debris. Too fast and it does not have time for the leaves and small sticks to hang up on the ramp.

Did you have a good crop this year? My areas were lots of small berries and not a lot of them. Good vid Jim!

@gibbsadventures12 4 жыл бұрын

You had to hunt for good size berries but there was tons of them. It like an addiction for me once I start picking. Lots of small ones found the bigger ones in the shade. I wish I had a week to pick.

Cool but I prefer to pick them by hand and do it carefully. Better on the berry and no cleaning required. I can pick a pound in 30 minutes

@garywhelton9304 4 жыл бұрын

Whats the angel of your ramp ? and what size screen ?

@gibbsadventures12 4 жыл бұрын

I will have to check Gary, I am not sure. The angle, I play with a little depending on the size of the berries. Too steep and the berries that have stems on them will not hang up on the ramp. You want the berries to roll down but at a slow enough speed that any problems don't end up in the tub.

@rickym5466 Жыл бұрын

this is cool, and effective - your berries look very clean ... my brother in law and I gather wild blueberries way up North in Ontario ... he picks by using his finger tips and I pick by using my hand like a comb ... I pick more but they are very dirty ... and I found that washing them in the sink was miserable ... But I have 3 questions for you 1) what would happen if you had the fans under the mesh and blowing upward, would that be an improvement ? and 2) how do you dry them for selling ? and 3) when you freeze them, don't they just get mushy ? ... meaning, you can't freeze them if you want to sell them can you ?

@Kiltoonie 11 ай бұрын

They freeze fine, but need using quickly after being defrosted. Personally I often sprinkle a few frozen berries right onto my cereal, they thaw instantly.

I had an old David Bradley seed cleaner purchased from Sears and Roebucks in the fifties. We have about an acre of rabbit eye blueberries on our little place. I bet it would clean them. Similar to this one-kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5iHdKxlztnZZHk.html

I use the screen off a air filter from large equipment so I honestly don't know the size grate. I suggest you try 1/8 hardware cloth that should do it.
