Tobacco harvester machine RA942-I / RA942-IF

self-propelled2-row

Model conceived and manu-factured for the automated harvesting of tobacco leaves. The RA942I harvester, which operates on inter-row from 110 to 140 cm , the RA942IF harvester, which operates on inter-row from 90 cm, width has 4-wheel drive powered by a hydrostatic drive system with wheels that steer only with the front axle. Machine type-approved for circulating on the road. The tobacco leaves are picked gradually starting from the lowest and working upwards, according to maturity, working two rows simultaneously. The leaves are pulled off the plant as they are struck by spinning rubber spirals on two bars (defoliating unit). A grate-type or knives-type defoliator, mounted instead of the two bars, removes the top leaves. The defoliation is due to special defoliators, placed to pendulum, which follow the straightness of the rows. The detached leaves are sent by metal rollers onto vertical conveyor belts that, in turn, lift them toward the storage receptacle, into which they are blown by a continuous flow of air. The container, placed in the rear of the machine, for the discharge phase in trolleys, raises and opens on operator command.
