Speciality crop harvesting technology
The demanding field of speciality crop harvesting technology places high demands on the cutting units used. The work in this area is particularly labour-intensive and the crop is sensitive and can easily be destroyed or damaged by improper harvesting. This makes it all the more important to use high-quality technology in this area of work.
Fields of work in speciality crop harvesting technology
Speciality crop harvesting technology covers the harvesting of herbs, vegetables, flowers and other plants whose cultivation and harvesting place special demands on the machines used. Speciality crop harvesting technology is distinguished from the harvesting of root crops, cereals and fodder plants, which require different harvesting methods and cutting equipment. While some speciality crops can be harvested mainly by hand - this is the case with asparagus harvesting, for example - special harvesting machines are used in many areas of speciality crop harvesting technology. These are able to cut the sensitive crop gently and without damaging it. This sensitive and precise cutting process is of paramount importance in speciality crop harvesting technology, as the visual and textural quality of the crop is a decisive factor in the sale of harvested produce in this sector. If cutting units of inferior quality are used in speciality crop harvesting technology, this can lead to poor harvesting results and significantly reduce the value of the harvest. This is unacceptable in this already labour-intensive and cost-intensive area of cultivation.
Cutterbars from ESM for speciality crop harvesting technology
Manufacturers of high-quality machines for speciality crop harvesting technology therefore rely on professional cutting units such as those produced by ESM for decades. The "bidux" double knife from ESM is a cutting unit frequently used in the field of speciality crop harvesting technology. The generally very high quality standards of ESM technology are particularly noticeable in this sensitive harvesting sector. The high-precision double knife blades cut even sensitive crops cleanly and leave their structure undamaged. This means that the plants are harvested in a very high-quality condition and can achieve correspondingly high market values. Fine-leaved herbs, delicate vegetables and easily damaged flowers are cut to professional quality with the ESM cutterbar for speciality crop harvesting technology.
