Collecting and removing woody residues from cultivated fields is a problem that affects all those working in specialized agriculture. Over time, this issue has increasingly driven agricultural entrepreneurs toward equipment that can best support them in maintenance activities, processing the collected material to make it easily assimilable into the soil.
This also applies to olive groves and citrus orchards
The latter objective is specifically addressed by the renewed “Miniforst pick-up cl” mulcher from Seppi, a hydraulically operated forestry machine aimed at the mechanical processing of pruning residues in specialized environments. It is particularly focused on applications where bulky woody materials are present, such as in citrus orchards and olive groves. Unlike carbonization processes, which are hazardous and harmful to the environment, or collection and disposal methods, which are costly, fine shredding and subsequent spreading of the residues on the field allows the mulch to be used to create a substrate capable of naturally nourishing the soil. This is a result that the “Miniforst pick-up cl” mulcher can ensure through the shredding of plant residues using both the new-generation “Ric” rotor, based on Seppi’s patented radial interference cutting technology and equipped with reinforced fixed tools with tungsten carbide inserts called “Super Mono Tip,” and four rows of tempered counter-blades attached to the frame. These work in combination with a fine-mesh grid that, together with the rotor, enables the machine to shred woody material up to 20 centimeters in diameter, always resulting in a particularly fine product that can be decomposed and absorbed by the soil in a single season.
High-strength structure
Featuring an operational width of 225 centimeters, the Seppi “Miniforst pick-up cl” is equipped as standard with a frame made of high-strength “Ar400” steel, a variable displacement hydraulic motor “Vario Flow,” and rubber wheels that support the equipment on uneven and rocky terrain. These solutions not only offer high standards of operational efficiency but also ensure that the mulcher can work at speeds of up to seven kilometers per hour, regardless of the conditions or terrain structure.
