Chemical shoot remover 116

1-row

This innovative equipment obtained the prestigious Technical Innovations Contest award at the 2005 EIMA fair. The chemical desuckering machine mod.116 is suitable for desuckering vineyards with espalier training systems. It carries out this task by applying a liquid containing a drying solution to the lower part of the plant, below the fruit-bearing branches, thus wetting the suckers and drying them out completely. It is applied to the front of the tractor and carries out the operation on the row to the right of the tractor.The effective height for working from the ground may vary from 500 mm to 800 mm depending on the working height of the liquid delivery head. The working head of the Chemical Desuckering machine mod. 116 is pendulum mounted and supported by a framework whose position can be determined by the tractor driver by means of vertical and horizontal hydraulic movements. The area to be treated is shielded laterally from the surrounding area by a soft PVC protection, and above by a pair of brushes in synthetic fibre facing each other so as to guarantee closure as it passes stakes and vine stocks and by a pair of gull-wing doors in transparent material so as to be able to see and inspect the nozzles from above. This excludes the possibility of the product being dispersed into the environment and to areas of vegetation where it could damage production.
