Our main advantages
From the falling of the flower heads to the harvest
The COLLARD Leaf Remover is designed to operate in green season or before harvest, our machines are perfectly versatile. Although today 80% of our Leaf Removers are sold worldwide for working in green season, historically, our machines have been developed for working before harvest, so just in front of the pickers.
Experience
Our COLLARD Leaf Removers are the result of a very long experience. It was in 1979 that COLLARD company marketed its first pneumatic Leaf Removers. Today all the vineyards of the world know and use our machines, with this experience they have become the reference of the market. Only in Champagne area we count more than 800 machines in service.
Orientation of the heads
The defoliating head is easily orientable to adjust the desired height of work.
Selection of the face to work
Traditionally we work in green season on the opposite side of the sun, to do this our COLLARD Leaf Removers are equipped with a 3 way valve allowing to choice the face of the row to defoliate.
Intensity adjustment
We adjust the intensity of work by intervening on several simple parameters:
• Regulation of the air pressure (control valve with manometer).
• Regulation of rotational speed of rotors.
• Selection of the appropriate diameter of the air nozzle.
• Orientation of the head.
Security
A safety valve limits the risk of air overpressure in the machine circuit.
Our heads are mounted on an anti-shock system to absorb any shocks to work.
Power
Our boosters are specially designed for COLLARD application (double oil bath, reinforced joints, service pressure, etc ...). For the hydraulic drive of the booster, we provide a variable displacement hydraulic piston engine. Only variable displacement makes it possible to adjust the performance of the hydraulic motor to the straddle tractor's capacities.
Easy maintenance
The heads are designed to be easily cleaned, the maintenance of our machines is reduced to a minimum.
Reliability
Our Leaf Removers are guaranteed 2 years, this commitment is the fruit of a long experience through the most demanding vineyards of the world.
Carved to remove leaves
The design of our heads is carved to facilitate the penetration of our machines in the vegetation.
Minimal clutter, rounded shapes and maximum compactness make our COLLARD Leaf Removers the market leader
Exceptional hydraulic protection
Oil filtration, flow control, anti-return valve, pressure limiter, protect the hydraulic components of the Leaf Remover (motors, distributors, etc ...), these settings are sealed in the factory
