Abstract
Limes are manually picked all over the worldwide. To reduce the number of labour, time and reduce harvest costs of Egyptian lime. The machine was manufactured to operate an electric motor with different masses to give four frequencies during different shaking time for shaking harvesting. During shaking main branches, a certain amount of ripe lime couldn't be detached primarily due to an insufficient level of transferred energy.  Harvesting tests showed that about 91 % of ripe lime without any fell of small green lime or flowers were detached under the recommended frequency of 45 Hz for the main branch shaking, shaking time 20 s and the mass of blocks W3 =365 g fastened on either side of the electric motor shaft. Recommended parameters during the shaker harvesting work as selective harvesting did not harvest unripe small green lime or fallen flowers just fell only ripe lime (yellow lime and greenish yellow lime). The study provided baseline knowledge and information for improving the lime harvesting to obtain high lime detach efficiency, save time, cost and labours for harvesting lime by manufactured an electric shaker.
