Description
From Winter pruning’s to cover crops to normal mowing the Shelanti Side Discharge Systems mulches it all.
The Side Discharge System, is a device that allows you to turn the thickest winter pruning’s and most lush cover crops to normal grass into the perfect biomass and discharge the chopped material in vineyards and orchards easily and effortlessly.
The Shelanti Side Discharge is the ideal implement for turning those unwanted pruning’s and cover crops into an organic fertiliser in the form of mulch. The machine mulches the material and throws it out to the side, back under the trees, leaving a clean row between the trees, and a mulch blanket under the trees.
The mulching process minimises the need for artificial fertilisers and sprays. It has specially been designed to cut crops and pruning and place the mulched residue on the orchard or vineyard ‘bankies’ and even in trellis systems.
By doing so it aids the stressed out soil under trees and prevents the growth of weeds. One of the key features of this SDS is that it can be classified as combination machine that can work all year round.
Many years of experimentation and cooperation with numerous growers, have demonstrated that SDS is a valid instrument for managing vineyards and orchards, thanks to the high productivity and the reduction of fertilizing and weed control treatments necessary to cultivations. Our SDS systems are recommended to be used with a a roller or wheels installed on the mulcher to easily and effortlessly adjust the working height and it is possible to control the discharging speed to adequate the biomass rate according to the tractor speed and the grass height.
The SDS is designed to limit damage to branches and fruits. The speed of the ejection hopper is adjustable so that it can be set to discharge material at the required distance. Ejection is very gentle thus reducing the risk of damaging low hanging fruit.
