SOFT TOUCH 2 LEAF REMOVER

QUALITY OF MANUAL WORK The new SOFT TOUCH 2 PELLENC vine leaf remover offers irreproachable results: the work is performed cleanly and evenly, as if by hand. Automatic row tracking ensures a constant leaf removal rate and total respect for the grapes. Highly efficient, SOFT TOUCH 2 is also simple in design: it is easy to handle and requires little maintenance.

OPERATION OF THE LEAF REMOVING MODULE The suction of the leaves is through the striations of the suction roller which catches the leaves, in conjunction with the feed roller rotating in the opposite direction. The wide suction area guarantees a homogeneous leaf removal rate over the entire height of the roller without loss of working height. At the rear, a rotating brush cleans the 2 rollers to limit the deposits of plant debris and ejects the whole leaves, without projection, towards the ground (fall by gravity). This system limits the clogging of the turbine, which does not evacuate the leaves.

SOFT TOUCH 2 SYSTEM It allows automatic row tracking. The suction module is automatically aligned to the plant foliage surface: it moves towards and away according to the pressure applied to the sensor. The joystick has on override control, so the operator can take over when there is no vegetation.

The SOFT TOUCH 2 system ensures: • A constant leaf-removal rate (an unbroken swath of leaves on the ground). • Complete protection of the grape thanks to the responsiveness of the system. • Unparalleled driving comfort, with jolting eliminated without affecting the leaf-removal rate.

EASY CLEANING The washing of the module is done very simply thanks to 2 opening flaps which give direct access to the suction area and to the turbine. Clogging of these is very limited, the leaves do not enter. The suction roller can also be removed without tools for intensive work.
