The tying machine

Presentation

New tying machine: more respect for the vine and the environment. A machine designed by the viticulture sector for viticulturist!

  • Very light, the tying machine weighs approximately 100 kg.
  • Suitable for all types of vineyards.
  • Easy-to-use, maintain and adjust.
  • An environmental concept with biodegradable ties.
  • A machine designed to also use biodegradable wires.
  • Adaptable for all machines (vineyard, narrow caterpillar, high-clearance tractors ...)
  • The vines are lifted in a delicate and efficient manner, respecting the plant growth (the belts in no way damage the vegetation, even at more than 5 km/h).


Features

Under the action of the sun, the biodegradable ties allow for easy removal of the wire using the mechanical spooling system, resulting in significant timesaving.

This operation is facilitated by the biodegradable wire which is much smoother than the ordinary sort.

The tying machine advantages

Lifting: Two hydraulic-driven rubber belts lift the vegetation. A thumbwheel sets the revolving speed according to the forwarding speed.
The vegetation is not damaged thanks to the flexibility of the belts.

Tying: Tying is triggered by a button in the driving cab. It uses a two-armed tying device with the left arm serving as a magazine. There are 300 staples which can cover about 1,000m˛. A double action jack allows opening the tying device at each post.


Wire brake : A shrewd wire-braking system is coupled with an electromagnet. It is controlled from the driver cab, ensuring the necessary tension in the wire at the end of each row without breaking it and facilitating the knotting. The machine still uses polypropylene wire but a biodegradable wire is in the testing phase.

Hydraulics :the machine needs a minimum of 12 litres per minute. It is placed on a tractor equipped with a single-acting free-return valve and three double-acting valves for the material and the settings for inclination and height. A high-clearance tractor will need two double-acting valves.
