Harvest time brings big pressure to garlic growers. Manually brushing off soil, picking out bad bulbs and sorting garlic by size is slow, back-breaking work. Every year, many garlic farms struggle to hire enough seasonal workers within the short harvest window.

Our HGBM-3 Garlic Brush Cleaning and Grading Machine is designed to solve this exact labor bottleneck, with a stable processing capacity of 2–3 tons per hour.

Let’s look at a practical calculation for processing garlic from 15 hectares:

Calculation reference assumption: Average fresh garlic yield =15 tons/ha, total raw garlic = 225 tons

✅ Manual processing:

One skilled farm worker can clean, inspect and sort roughly 0.1 ton garlic per hour.

Total workload: 2250 working hours, equal to 281 man-days.

If you aim to finish all processing within 10 busy harvest days, you need nearly 28 workers on site.

✅ With our HGBM-3 (average capacity 2.5 t/h):

Only 2–3 operators are required for feeding, checking defective bulbs and collecting graded garlic.

Total machine running time: 90 hours, only 225 man-hours (28 man-days).

👉 Labor saved: About 2025 working hours, roughly 253 man-days!

Instead of scrambling to hire 28 seasonal workers, your team only needs 2–3 people to finish the same workload in 10 days.

Beyond cutting labor costs, this integrated machine offers more advantages for your garlic business:

• Gentle brush cleaning: Removes mud efficiently without scratching garlic skins

• Cleaning + size grading combined in one continuous line

• Stable throughput of 2–3 tons per hour, perfectly matched for mid-sized garlic farms

• More consistent grading quality compared to inconsistent manual sorting

• Prevent harvest losses caused by labor shortages and processing delays

If you are tired of the high cost and uncertainty of seasonal hiring during garlic harvest, this automated cleaning and sorting line streamlines your post-harvest workflow, protects garlic quality and locks in better profits.
