Cabbage technology - Mounted harvester | MC-1020

Single row, mounted, with box filler conveyor to be used in combination with a transporting trailer with boxes

The MC-1020, is a mounted single-row cabbage harvester, with box filler conveyor to be used in combination with a transporting trailer with boxes It can be used for the mechanical harvesting of white cabbage, red cabbage and savoy cabbage and can thus replace the labour-intensive harvesting by hand. The machine is characterised by its high-conveying pick-up section. This allows the crop to be conveyed almost horizontally without drop steps onto a transporting trailer with boxes, which runs next to the machine. The harvest of the crop is extremely gentle. Therefore, the harvested crop can also be used for storage. The intake aligns the cabbage and fixes it with a mesh-web before two knife discs cut the stalk. This creates a particularly straight cut. The crop is then conveyed upwards, where a deflection with a foam scraper roller removes covering bracts of the cabbage. The cabbage can then be inspected on the picking table. The shiftable box filling conveyor gently transports the cabbage with a minimal drop into the boxes on a transport trailer driving next to harvester.

Benefits

  • High level of crop protection thanks to the horizontal transport of the cabbage into the crates on a trailer driving alongside.
  • Gentle intake due to the flat design.
  • Exact straight cut of the stalk for high crop quality.
  • Variable use in different conditions thanks to simple adjustment of the machine.
  • Labour savings through mechanical harvesting.
  • Powerful machine
  • The compact design of the mounted machine facilitates manoeuvring at the headland.
