Vineyard machines:
Trimming machines
The trimming machine is a working machine
that, applied to the front part of the tractor, operates thanks
to an hydraulic feeding and it is endowed with one or more
cutting units.
It can be used in viticulture both for lopping vineyards still
green and for stripping them of their shoots which can damage
the tree natural growth and its consequent fructification.
It substitutes the manual work done by the side of the row
or over it.
Leaf removal machines
The aspiring leaf trimmer is a working machine
that, applied to the front part of the tractor, operates thanks
to an hydraulic unit and it is endowed with a winnowing –
fan to aspirate the leaves. It is also endowed with a double
cutting unit to cut the leaves stem off.
It allows the removal of the lower leaves, in order to improve
the bunches microclimate, their exposure to the light and
air circulation too.
Working times are reduced to the 70% and in proximity of the
grape harvest it makes the vintage easier.
Pre-trimming machines
The new B.M.V. dry pruner is used for winter pruning of the espalier system vineyard (spur pruned cordon) and it’s useful to eliminate all vegetal part of the gone season (by now wooden part) that is settled upwards the fruitful line, among row supporting cables; this allows a final saving of 50-60% on labour.
The machine is applied in front of the tractor, and it operates by hydraulic power.
