A market leading machine that represents a considerable step up for our clients who have them, ERO Defoliators deliver premium results for various vineyard settings. The Defoliator’s performance can be adjusted ‘on-the-job’ from the cab while the defoliator heads follow the contours of the canopy with optimised pressure to ensure excellent performance. A safety breakaway ensures any damage from unexpected incidents will be minimised. The quality of this German-engineered machinery has proven ERO Vine Defoliators to be industry leading performers. Available in Single In Row, Double In Row, and Single Roll-Over Configurations.
The ERO ‘Profi’ Vine Defoliator is designed for large and very large scale vineyards and contractors. ERO Vine Trimmers feature both manual and automatic controls which optimise all features of the machine’s operation, with many manual actions able to be performed from the comfort of the cab. These machines also feature enhanced safety features like the emergency breakaway which stops the machine in the case of potentially damaging incidents, making them a comprehensive Vine Defoliating option. Available as Single Over Row and Double Over Row.
ERO have led the market for many years with their Roller defoliator and, following a recent acquisition, can now offer a proven ‘airblast’ defoliator system with the benefits that ERO customers already enjoy – innovative and high-quality German design and manufacturing with reliable parts and service support. With the VITIpulse ERO offers a ‘best of both worlds’ solution that allows our customers to utilise a combination of Airblast and Roller Defoliation technology during the season to achieve optimum canopy management results. The VITIpulse is used at early stages to remove debris and ‘clean’ the canopy and remove inner leaf material from bunch zone. As berries develop and become susceptible to damage from high speed particles and debris propelled by the airblast system, switching to the roller system, which uses a suction fan and counter rotating rollers, provides gentle but effective leaf removal whilst minimising fruit damage. The VITIpulse offers a range of mounting configurations, with both 2 and 4-head systems for tractor or harvester mounted options available.
