Garlic harvester

RL1 - 1-row harvester-binder

Operation :
Lifting is carried out by a blade which passes under the garlic bulbs and by belts that pull up the garlic by the leaves.
The garlic is carried by belts, passing through a vibrator, to an automatic bundle binding system. The bundles of garlic are then removed by a conveyor belt. The machine is operated by one person. Lateral guidance is ensured hydraulically.
The machine has setting systems allowing it to be adapted to various types of planting.
Sideways movement of the machine to align it on the row to be harvested, share depth, height of the lifting belts, binding height, string tension, bundle size adjustment.

RL2 - 1-row harvester-binder

Operation :
Double-chassis, drawn machine. Lifting is carried out by a blade which passes under the garlic bulbs and by belts that pull up the garlic by the leaves. The garlic is carried to an automatic bundle binding system.


The bundles of garlic are then removed by a conveyor belt. The machine is operated by two people. Lateral guidance is independent, and the commands are hydraulic.
The machine has setting systems allowing it to be adapted to various types of planting.
Sideways movement of the machine to align it on the row to be harvested, share depth, height of the lifting belts, binding height, string tension, bundle size adjustment.

RE1 - 1-row harvester-topper

Operation :
Machine carried by a 3-point linkage. It is hydraulically powered by a pump which is driven by the tractor's power take-off.
The lifting system is situated beside the tractor. The bulb is lifted by a blade and the leaves are grasped between two belts. The garlic is carried to the topping system after passing through a vibrator, a second set of belts levels off the bulbs and two discs cut off the leaves.

A conveyor belt carries the bulbs to a container or sack. After cutting, the leaves fall to the ground behind the machine.
The machine is operated by one person, and it has setting systems allowing it to be adapted to various types of planting.

RE3/4/5 - multi-row harvester-topper

Operation :
Double chassis, drawn machine. It is hydraulically powered by pumps which are driven by the tractor's power take-off.
The lifting system is identical and independent for each row. The bulb is lifted by a blade and the leaves are grasped between two belts. The garlic is carried to the topping system after passing through a vibrator. A second set of belts levels off all the bulbs and two disks cut the leaves.
 
A conveyor belt carries the bulbs to one side of the machine. After cutting, the leaves fall to the ground behind the machine.
The machine is operated by one person, and it has setting systems allowing it to be adapted to various types of planting. Lateral guidance is hydraulically controlled.

Garlic and onion planter

PLMS - single-row mechanical planter

Operation :
The machine is carried and consists of a 3- to 15-element beam and 2 drive wheels. Each element is attached to the beam. It is comprised of: a chassis, a share, a plate with 16 bulblet holders, a hopper, two gauge wheels, an agitator and a parallelogram system. The plates are synchronised with the drive wheels, and each holder closes as it passes through the hopper and opens as it passes over the furrow. An agitator facilitates the flow of garlic bulblets in the hopper.

PLMD - two-row mechanical planter

Operation :
The machine is carried and consists of a 3- to 10-element beam, a shared hopper and 2 drive wheels. Each element is attached to the beam. It is comprised of: a chassis, a share, two plates with 32 bulblet holders, two gauge wheels and an agitator. The plates are synchronised with the drive wheels, and each holder closes as it passes through the hopper and opens as it passes over the furrow.

An agitator facilitates the flow of garlic bulblets in the hopper. The bulblets are planted in a staggered way. The distance between bulblets is 9cm and the pitch is adjustable according to the desired density.

PLPS - single-row pneumatic planter

Operation :
The machine is carried and consists of a 3- to 6-element beam, a shared hopper, 2 drive wheels and a turbine. Each element is attached to the beam. It consists of: a chassis, a share, a suction disc, a distribution wheel, two gauge wheels and an agitator. The bulblets are taken from the bottom of the hopper by the suction disc and are then sent to the distribution wheel which deposits the bulblets in the furrow. The plates are synchronised with the drive wheels. An agitator facilitates the flow of garlic bulblets in the hopper.

PLPD - double-row pneumatic planter

Operation :
The machine is carried and consists of a 3- to 5-element beam, a shared hopper, 2 drive wheels and a turbine. Each element is attached to the beam. It consists of: a chassis, a share, two suction discs, two distribution wheels, two gauge wheels and an agitator. The bulblets are taken from the bottom of the hopper by the suction discs and are then sent to the distribution wheels which deposit the bulblets in the furrow. The plates are synchronised with the drive wheels. The bulblets are planted in a staggered way. The distance between bulblets is 9cm and the pitch is adjustable according to the desired density.

Garlic splitter

E600

Operation :
A hopper with a slatted conveyor belt feeds the machine. The garlic bulbs are split into bulblets between two belts, the distance between the belts can be adjusted. 7 alternating rotary brushes complete the splitting operation. A suction extractor removes the skins after splitting. There is a belt enabling manual finishing.
A grader sorts the bulblets (cloves) into 5 categories:
- smaller than 10 mm (waste)
- 10 mm to 23 mm (medium)
- 23 mm to 30 mm (large)
- larger than 30 mm (poorly split garlic)

Garlic cleaner

NB630T

Operation :
Drum-brush cleaner

Garlic grader

C630

Standard grades :
- smaller than 45mm
- 45 mm to 60 mm
- 60 mm to 70 mm
- larger than 70 mm
