Top-leaves (apical) Stripper 2TTH
Thanks to their easy design and original
ideas, tobacco strippers by De Cloet Ltd. are very easy to use machines. The
constant pursuit of simplicity and quality helps tobacco farmers both in the mechanization and in reducing maintenance times.
Moreover the last applied and patented innovations optimize harvester performances: an additional roller facilitates the leaves
entrance to the central vertical belt, while an electro-hydraulic proportional control synchronizes the harvester speed with the defoliator and motion of the knives.
This ensures perfect harvesting and a safe stop of all moving parts when the machine is stationary with running engine.
The 3 wheeled hydrostatic motor by De Cloet Ltd., with John Deere 85 hp - 115 hp diesel engine , has the option to turn itself on: this saves a considerable amount of time.
During the process of harvesting our exclusive defoliators remove leaves from the plants with a "soft touch" and without any damage.
Leaves are then conveyed to a container or a trailer through a special belt. Even when wet, appropriate fans then distribute them uniformly.
For harvesting the top-leaves (apical) specific cutter bars, exclusive to De Cloet Ltd., remove the leaves with an upward motion. Leaves are detached with a clean cut close to the stem without any damage for the plant or for the leaves.
