Vegetable harvesting technology

The professional harvesting of spinach, beans and other vegetables places high demands on manufacturers of machines and cutting systems for vegetable harvesting equipment. Freshness and quality of the harvested products are of particular importance. High harvesting speed and clean cuts are necessary as well as harvester reliability. Harvesting interruptions can mean a breakdown of the entire logistics system, reduce the quality of vegetables and endanger deadlines in this sensitive harvesting area. The harvested crop must also be clean and in optically excellent condition. Cutting systems that are used in professional vegetable production must be absolutely reliable and highly accurate. As a traditional manufacturer of high quality mowing technology the Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik works on the production of cutting units for vegetable harvesting technology. For this application ESM produces the “Bidux” cutting system, a double blade cutting unit for optimum harvesting results in commercial agriculture. The patented Carbodux® mowing blades are the basis for the high cutting power of the cutting system. Their quality has become the standard for mowers in many areas of professional mowing. In vegetable harvesting technology the sensitive crops must be cut so that the crop can be processed in only a few processing steps, or so that it can be sold directly. Calm and low-vibration cutting system operation is of particular importance to protect the crop. The “Bidux” cutting unit was designed specifically for harvesting sensitive crops. High quality, harmonized components ensure vibration free operation. The low power consumption is environmentally friendly and cost-saving. For these reasons ESM cutting units for vegetable harvesting are used by many renowned manufacturers in professional harvesting equipment. When replacement parts are required, they can be easily ordered in professional quality.
