The French brand presented at Zaragoza Easyflo, a new module of calibration for pneumatic equipment

Berthoud gives a new vault to their pneumatic sprayers

on March 8, 2011

Berhoud took advantage of his presence in Tecnovid to show his capacity to adapt to the needs of the viticultural market Spanish and find his network of distribution. The French mark presented the group of his ranges vineyard and trees, and his three novelties: the vault Vitiflex; AB Most Intensive, a new ramp for the machines for vendimiar NH 9000; and the new module of calibration for pneumatics devices Easyflo.

Tecnovid 2011 provided a framework to ensure that the French automaker will display its full potential in their ranges of vines and trees. The hand of the person responsible for Marketing of Berthoud, Jean-Christophe Rousseau, and the leader of the brand Spain, Joan Manel Monroy, the press called the first day of trade fair, Conference attendees on February 15served to unveil the latest innovations of Berthoud in its range of sprayers as well as the contributions that continues the gala brand to the wine sector.

The new Vault Vitiflex

The first of the presented novelties was the new Vault Vitiflex with replicated and hydraulic separation for the pneumatic sprayers suspended and dragged Berthoud, destined for vineyards with a width 1.40 to 3.50 metres.

The Vitiflex Vault is rolled off side. The petition and the separation of each of the arms is secured by the system of a hydraulic cylinder and cylinder gas which ensures the openness of the arm, while the hydraulic allows their separation. Thanks to a system of cam, the cylinder gas is indirectly powered by the hydraulic cylinder. This device allows you to command in an independent manner the unfolding and the separation of the arm with only two hydraulic distributors of double effect.

This new kinematics and many other developments give a wide flexibility of use to the Vitiflex Vault: a wide range of adjustment of the separation of the arms in course of treatment (at 600 mm hydraulic cylinders race); ease of adjustment of separation through graduate indicators that allow to check the position of the separation of the arms; efficiency increased by wide vineyards with a full width of 5,300 mm, with separate arms to the maximum; and ease of adjustment of the orientation of the external gun (system manual or electrical).

Ramp AB Most Intensive, a contribution to the NH vendimiadoras

The ramp AB Most Intensive this for new machines to coulure Holland 9000 series. Equipped with an elevator on a parallelogram and air flow optimized, WINS on flexibility of use and results, as well as in comfort of use, thanks to the new electronic New Holland which allows the integration of new systems automated (automatic replicated)(, monitoring of soil, etc.) and the simplification of the post of driving (a single box of command in the cabin). The two main proposals are:

-In model 9000L: treatment of 3 rows + 2 rows and media for the vineyards of 1.60 to 2.50 meters
-In model 9000M: treatment of 5 rows + 2 rows and average for vineyards in 1.30 to 1.50 m

The ramp AB Most Intensive exposed on a vendimiadora 9000 NH in Tecnovid 2011.

Thanks to a lift in the parallelogram, the ramp AB Most Intensive has a breadth of highest elevation (1.80 m) that facilitates the passage of the hanging AB Most above the vineyard to manoeuvre at the end of the plot. This concept allows a greater longevity of the structure and also a better distribution of the efforts on the chassis of the AVM. The position of the ventilation on central arm allows the reduction of the length of the tubes of air and simplifies installation. This concept enables a reduction in the loss of cargo, as well as a better reliability in time.

Easyflo, a new form of gauge pneumatic appliances

The third of the novelties presented at Tecnovid was the Easyflo, new module for pneumatic equipment calibration which allows at the same time improve the precision of application and limit the loss of products in the environment. Thanks to the use of a nozzle of turbulence for the calibration of flow, the Easyflo has two main points. On the one hand ensures very precise calibration of the flow rate appropriate to the requirements of the standard of the environment in 12761, and on the other, allows to work at very low flow rates, without risk of clogged. Each output, diffuser or cannon can thus be fed individually, getting a perfect homogeneity of the flow between the exits and the possibility of making applications to low volume / has)<100l/ha), sin riesgo de taponado. a),="" sin="" riesgo="" de="">

The Easyflo is mounted in the entire range of appliances Berthoud (dragged, suspended and AVM) facilities (vaults and ramps). The outer surface cutting and cutting by multiples of rows or entire rows is available as an option. Suspended and washed equipment are equipped with 2 sections and can in option be equipped of two additional sections. The equipment on cells and AVM are equipped with 3 sections and can be equipped with two or four additional sections.

Vault Airline, for the treatment of the vineyards and the orchards

Berthoud proposes a new vault for the treatment of the orchards of fruit type and wide vineyards. Airline vault, next to complete the Fructair range, allows to improve the accuracy of application and to limit drift. This Vault has been studied in a thorough way to obtain a lateral and vertical distribution of perfectly uniform air flow. The diffuser rear ventilation has an asymmetrical shape created to spread the flow of air in a homogeneous way and direct you to the horizontal. Adjustable air valves that have a dial-up allow to adjust the direction of the air depending on the type of orchards or vineyards to treat.

The Airline Vault allows to improve the effectiveness of treatments with greater precision in the application (orientation specified and accurate to the vegetation, homogeneous vertical distribution of spraying, and possibility of localised treatments) and a reduction of the drift.
