Healthy grapes are the most important prerequisite for first-class wine. A well-ventilated grape zone makes a major contribution towards grape health. De-leafers from KMS Rinklin not only thin out the grape zone carefully and gently, but also expel the cut foliage cleanly. This not only reduces fungal infections in the grape zone, but also in the grapes themselves.
The vine leaves – whether large or small, dry or wet – are plucked off by a suction fan between a rubber cylinder and a hollow cylinder, and separated from the vine.
The removed leaves are ejected out of the equipment. The device can be used immediately before harvesting of the grapes because no grapes are damaged.
