The full line-up of leaf removers are available for both in-row and over the row applications. The defoliation head can be rear or front mounted on the tractors. Special custom built models are available for harvesters to do up to two complete rows, both sides applications.
This Leaf Remover features dual rotors defoliation head (patented). The head is now narrower for better penetration into the vegetation. The adjustment system of the defoliation head allows for positioning horizontal to vertical and in between. This system also permits positioning the head for the exact amount of leaf removal you require. The patented COLLARD system achieves leaf removal by a fl ow of low pressure air produced by a 3-point hitch, P.T.O. driven air compressor. The air is blown through the leaves at fruit level by an adjustable defoliating head with twin rotating nozzles. This rapid pulsing air literally shakes the leaves to pieces and rattles the caps free from the berries.
The Leaf Remover exposes the clusters to air and sunlight and improves spray penetration. We are able to give all the results like handwork at a fraction of the cost per acre.
