'Viticulture of tomorrow' lands at Fima 2010, hand in hand with Pellenc Iberian. The company gives to know two innovations designed to meet the demands of the winemakers and grape growers demanding. On the one hand, the nine models in the range of vendimiadoras equipped with head 'selectiv process' 8000 provide a system of husking precise, which separates grapes from any foreign body. On the other hand, the new effect of TRP accuracy of the company reduces really time for pruning.

FIMA 2010 will be the showcase of the vendimiadoras 8000, with John Deere's electronic injection common rail engine.

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

Head 'selectiv process', on nine models of the 8000 series, works in the following way: through a system of husking of the grape, associated with a table of selection, it is separated from foreign objects as leavesVine Shoots and especially petioles. The selection, located on the top of the hopper, table consists of a series of rotating rollers placed in parallel. These roller isolate loose grains of foreign bodies of the harvest, including petioles. These 'unwanted' elements are placed on the rollers until that, eventually, they fall out of the hopper. The husking process must be: the stems remain intact and is not broken until its fall, out of the hopper. The result is a harvest of quality, free of herbaceous flavors that responds to the demands of winemakers and wine growers.

The rollers of the 'Selectiv Process' separate loose grains of grapes of the foreign bodies of the harvest, including petioles.

In terms of comfort, the ergonomic characteristics of the vendimiadoras range have been restated. For example, the new joystick Pellenc, integrated into the seat and equipped with tactile buttons, directs all the manoeuvres and facilitates a better visibility on the entrance of the head of harvest. This joystick has backlighting for users who work at night. The size of the wheel, slightly lower, frees space the seat of the cab. Aboard, the driver has new accessories such as support for mobile phone or PDA, Attaché or bottlerack. Also, secretly new lighthouses of work have been installed on the ceiling and the spoiler of the cabin, as well as the front legs or the bottom of the cabin. The location of a kit video (with display of control in the cockpit and two cameras) streamlines the maneuvers even at night.

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.
