The sound management of the vineyard provides for the application of diversified operations during the course of the year. The prepotatura mechanized, applied through the medium of the prepotatrice, is one such, and involves many and considerable advantages.

When and how is it conducted? What are the characteristics that distinguish a machine developed for the pruning of the vineyard? Find out within this study.

The prepotatrice: features and benefits

of The machine prepotatrice facilitates the operations of pruning of the vineyard by reducing the manual labor, for a simplification of the work. The best period for the application of the prepotatrice is that of the autumn season, after the conclusion of the phase of the harvest.

The use of this tool promotes the growth and development of the foliage so that it is solid, well-structured, ensuring a processing time much faster compared to the usual operation manual.

The advantages of this machine does not end here.

In addition to the well-being of the plant, in fact, ensures a considerable gain of time cut pruning takes place with great rapidity, saving you precious time, which can be used in other activities. In addition to the time, allows a saving of energies , as it eliminates the fatigue of the manual pruning would result to the operator. Also, thanks to the prepotatrice the cuttings are cut so precise, clean and sharp through the shape of the disks, of which it is composed, and the safe handling of the machine.

The prepotatrice BFM

One of the new BFM, commissioned at the request of a customer, it is just the machine prepotatrice PGV.

The machine is composed of a sturdy structure for the arch that towers over the screws and you put in the center. On both sides of the sticks to place the two cutting elements, each consisting of six lock washers steel.

When the machine is in action, the disks are approaching closing around the rolling, and re-open in the vicinity of the poles, or other items that do not require cutting. Handling ensure a precise cut, and the net, with a constant feedrate and fast machine.

What distinguishes this tool?

The model PGV uses a system of handling scissor lift, such as shearing machines BFM (CM-SN and CM-S), but revised and reinforced to support the weight of the head cutter.

The pantograph system synchronized in fact, we have 4 movements and allows its use both in small spaces and very large, from 550 mm to 1.550 mm at the centre of the machine.

This system allows you:

• to have a lighter machine than a traditional movements and scrolling;
• you have a greater hike in the movements, with handling and speed of their movements being exploited;
• to have a compact machine, which guarantees a minimum amount of space when fully closed.

Results encountered in the use of the prepotatrice PGV

mass in the field of prepotatrice BFM demonstrated the enormous savings that allows you compared to manual labor.

In detail: thanks to the prepotatrice there is a saving in the extract of 50% on plants with anti-hail nets, and a savings of 25% over traditional systems without network.

Conclusions

The pruning of the vineyard is a delicate and crucial to the well-being of the plant. During the autumn season, it is important to cut the sticks so that the screws, strengthen, and grow healthy. A tool that allows you to perform this task in an optimal way and effective is the prepotatrice. This machine is cutting quick and precise way to the pruning and ensuring a job well done and a saving of time and effort for the operator.

On the basis of long experience in the industry and demands of the clients, the BFM has developed the model of prepotatrice PGV: a machine evolved and secure, which can make this process easier and convenient.
