This special machine combines the characteristics of a self-loading cutter wagon with a high-quality collection system that conveys and straightens the plants prior to cutting. Our machine is quick in carrying out the work, easy to use, delicate on the plant, but at the same time effective; furthermore, it offers the option of unloading from the top rear.
Several height adjustments allow for adapting to plants of different height and volume.
The Saliunca offers the possibility of speeding up the harvesting operation without damaging the very delicate flowers. The kindness in the processing minimizes the loss of seeds during harvesting.

• Speed adjustment of the belt conveyors, which can be manual or automatic (optional).
• Hydraulic adjustment of the cutting height to cut lavender of different age by picking only the flowers, according to the farmer’s technique.

• High rear unloading system (optional) or conventional low rear unloading via a standard tailgate.
• Proportional adjustment of the forward speed of the horizontal conveyor.
