January 18, 2010
The future of viticulture, today. FIMA 2010 will be the showcase of innovations from Pellenc Iberian for the sector dedicated to the cultivation of the vine. In particular, the stand of the company can see models in the range of vendimiadoras 8000 as well as its new precision TRP hoe. Firstly, new vintage machines are distinguished by their power and maneuverability. The line of vendimiadoras 8000 has engine John Deere of electronic injection common rail (tier III), developed in accordance with the new European standards, anti-pollution and whose power ranges from 100 to 173 HP. Wheels double Poclain engines displacement Heavy Duty, coupled to an optimal distribution of loads between front and rear axles, guarantee an excellent ratio weight/power. At the same time, the Power Control regulates the speed and oversees the distribution of power between the tools and the advance of the 8000 chassis. Whatever her forward speed, thanks to the permanent Integral transmission (ICC) of four independent wheels, through a new hydrostatic pump with electronic controls, avoiding the patinajes. In addition to a number of ergonomic improvements and design, the new head of harvest 'selectiv process' eliminates harvest any remaining vegetation which may affect the taste of wine.
About to grapes for wine making
First effect of precision which reduces the time of pruning
Considered technical novelty in the latest edition of Fima, TRP Pellenc was born to really shorten the time of pruning. With this new apero, Pellenc offers the scope of the professional viticulture in the morning. Over the past years, the market in wine has experienced a crisis that requires a reduction in costs. In this context, pruning, whose process of mechanization has been complicated and has been phased, occupies the second position in the ranking of costs, after the harvest. The purpose of this prepodadota is not the completely eliminated the pruning but does reduce the time spent a quarter. Only thus would make a work of final review whose duration would vary between 10 or 12 hours per hectare, rather than the usual 50, for vineyards planted to three meters. During this operation, the machine is limited to cutting the vine shoots located under the cord, at the foot of the strain and a retouching, if necessary, of some thumbs. The quality of the grapes is not affected.
Pellenc TRP stands out for its ability to work, with a speed of 1.5 to 2.5 km/hour offering a high profitability in important vegetations. In other words, saves up to 90% in respect of labour per hectare, does not prevent night work and requires a low-cost maintenance. This team operates side cleaning of vine shoots in a comfortable way by its electrical controls and precise cuts. The machine has been built with materials reciclabes, which reflects the company's interest in environmental issues.
