The cutting principle of the Speedy-Rotor trimmer is called "free blade" cut, because the cut of the vegetation is obtained through inertia thanks to the high rotation speed of the blades, obtaining a neat cut, which avoids enervating the shoots, even without the aid of a counter-blade. The blades are assembled overlaying to prevent the vegetation to be trimmed to escape. Every tool has a length of about 30 cm and the overlaying is about 70 cm (a wall of 1.80mt needs a module with 4 to 5 cutting blades); the structure of the tool-holding module consists entirely of a light alloy and stainless steel to make the machine extremely light. The tool-holding modular structure of Speedy-Rotor is inserted on the same chassis of the Potel and Rotor series trimmers or, in the tunnel version, on an articulated chassis to facilitate its transport on board of a tractor (reducing the lateral volume).
Speedy-Rotor Lateral Version
The machine is equipped with four blades (usable cutting capacity 1.50 m) on the vertical structure and a blade for the top for the horizontal cut of the row (cutting capacity 0.50 m). The machine consists of a support frame and bears four hydraulic movements: lifting, lateral run, inclination of the cutting segment by +/- 20°, inclination of the top (roof), controlled through an hydraulic distributor with four lever plus one controlling the motor with anti-shock protection complying with the CE regulations.
