The combination of pneumatic air blast and roller defoliation technology in one head opens new opportunities for our customers that are beyond the limits of traditional systems on the market. By bringing both market-leading systems together, the premium defoliation quality is now combined in one task, saving time and money.
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.
