The leaves are picked up by the rollers without damaging the berries
No damage is done to the fruit-bearing zone
Simple coupling, hydraulic and electrical connections at breast height.
Very good visibility of the row being worked.
Compact, easy to handle in headlands.
Cantilever and reduced weight.
Machine works quietly.
The suction module is automatically aligned to the plant foliage surface: it moves towards and away according to the pressure applied to the sensor.
The suction of the leaves is through the striations of the suction roller which catches the leaves, in conjunction with the feed roller rotating in the opposite direction. The wide suction area guarantees a homogeneous leaf removal rate over the entire height of the roller without loss of working height.
At the rear, a rotating brush cleans the 2 rollers to limit the deposits of plant debris and ejects the whole leaves, without projection, towards the ground (fall by gravity). This system limits the clogging of the turbine, which does not remove the leaves.
