2024 Pellenc Leaf Remover Half Row

2024 Pellenc Leaf Remover Half Row

The new leaf remover suits most vineyards and the leaf removal is uniform as if performed by hand. The simple design ensures quick and easy control. The canopy is tracked by a sensor, which automatically manages the tool pressure on the trellising in real time—with no damage to the berries! Adjustments to the amount of leaf being removed is simply adjusted by the turn of a knob inside the cab!

The Pellenc Soft-Touch Vineyard Leaf remover is used to effectively and gently pull leaves from the canopy by using the Soft-Touch sensor to automatically manage leaf removal intensity (adjusted with a single knob the cab). Vineyard leaf removal with the Soft-Touch leaf puller provides the same quality as leaf-removal by hand. Available in a half-row reversible model, or a full row model, the Pellenc Soft-touch leaf remover is an excellent tool to mechanize your vineyard management. Watch the video below to see the leaf remover in action and see the difference yourself!

• “Soft Touch” automatic row-tracking system

• The suction module is automatically aligned to the plant canopy surface: it moves towards and away from the canopy according to the pressure applied to the sensor.

• The Soft Touch system ensures:

• A constant leaf-removal rate (an unbroken swath of leaves on the ground);

• Full protection of the grapes thanks to the responsiveness of the system;

• Unparalleled driving comfort, with jolting eliminated without affecting the leaf-removal rate;

• Override on joystick so the operator can take over when there is no vegetation.

RESULTS
