Description

ROTOVERT, A 3-IN-1 WEEDING MACHINE: MECHANICAL WEED REMOVER, CRUST BREAKER

Rotovert weeding machine with fixed, shifting, or folding frame; modular with one or more parallelograms that work on sown or transplanted rows.

OUR ELEMENT

The elements consist of a parallelogram with parallel bars, a crank-operated variable-load spring, and a strut with 3 slots for various tools and accessories, such as surface-breaking hoes or the Colibrì disc kit, a pair of opposing steel Rotovert with sealed bearing, a pair of rear swallow-tailed hoes for working in between the rows, or accessories such the pair of deflectors for earthing up plants. The two opposing rotors straddle the cultivated row, guaranteeing constant pressure and yielding greater precision and proximity than in an inter-row parallelogram, where uneven terrain can exacerbate drift due to excessive steering.
The configuration of the parallelogram allows for vertical movement perpendicular to the ground, acting directly on the pair of rotors. Positioned thus, the rotors act as a level, making a support wheel unnecessary.

Rotovert

Rotovert rotors, that is, vertical rotors, act like Rotoblizz rotors, but can be used on narrower inter-row spaces due to their shaped profile: 13–45 cm.

Rotating counter to each other at the same depth of 2–3 cm, they keep the plant straight, pushing the top of the soil towards the centre of the row and breaking it into pieces. In the meantime, the blades rotate to move weed sprouts or the weeds themselves outwards.

They are made of steel and have an inclination that is adjustable in 5 positions from 67° to 42° towards the plant. They rotate due to a sealed bearing and are welded with curved blades with a width of 3 cm.
Usable working surface area from the plant 4,5-5,5 cm.

Weeding with Rotovert Rotors is suitable for transplanted and sown crops in line and on trunk (for example: lettuce, onions, transplanted onions, garlic, carrots, basil, spinach, arugula, broccoli, and others)

1. Fixed frame for a rear mounted machine
2. Side shift hydraulic frame for a rear mounted machine
3. Frame for a rear mounted machine, hydraulic foldingFrame for a rear-mounted machine with double folding frame (4 hinge point) for reduced transport width in larger machinesStreet width 2.40 -3.00 mt
4. Squared frame for customized machines for a rear mounted machine
Frame width L in cm:

240 / 255 / 300 / 450 / 520/ 6100

1. Fixed Frame, with adjustable height wheels/fixed with no drive

2. Fixed frame with steering wheels, handlebar steering, and operator seat.

Mechanical steering: a handlebar acts on the front wheels of the machine;
A rear operator is required for control;
Suitable for light machines.

3. Fixed frame with rotating wheels, electro-hydraulic steering with joystick and operator seat.

The joystick acts on the front wheels of the machine; a rear operator is required for control.
Suitable for heavier machines.
Wings/side sections can be made to fold for road transport.

4. Hydraulic shifting frame, fixed wheels, joystick driving and operator seat.

The frame consists of 2 sections: a fixed part attached to the tractor and a second driven by hydraulic cylinders.
Steering via a joystick (which can be removed) moves the elements on the second frame.
Suitable for heavier machines.
An operator is required if there is no automatic camera.

5. Hydraulic shifting frame, fixed wheels, automatic guiding with TILLETT & HAGUE (T&H) camera, no rear operator.

Wings/side sections can be made to fold for road transport.

ROTOCLEAN ELEMENT WITH HOE

The ROTOCLEAN elements consist of a parallelogram with parallel bars, a crank-operated variable-load spring, an adjustable support wheel, and a strut with 3 slots for various tools and accessories, a pair of steel Rotoclean rotors with sealed bearing, a rear swallow-tailed hoe for working in between the rows,

ROTOCLEAN ELEMENT WITH HOE

ROTOCLEAN ELEMENT WITH ADJUSTABLE RIDGER

SYSTEM TO LIFT DRIP IRRIGATION HOSE

Device that lifts the hose before the passage of the Rotoblizz.

FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTOR

System that allows the fertilizer fertilizer to be administered during the work of weeding.

INTER-ROW PARALLELOGRAM WITH LEVELING WHEEL AND RIDGING DISCS

Single or double ridge press discs can be mounted to restore the ridge height.

HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM WITH JOYSTICK AND CAMERA + MONITOR

A high-contrast HD camera, mounted in front of 2/3 seeded rows, projects images onto a 12V 10.5-inch monitor placed in the cabin.

Used to assist with RTK automatic guidance on the tractor: the operator controls the machine’s direction from the cabin by operating the translocator, precisely correcting any trajectory errors.

AUTOMATIC ALIGNMENT SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC CAMERA

Our Tillett & Hague optical guidance system analyses data from digital cameras to identify features of interest, for example, rows, individual plants, or weeds. The area considered is as large as necessary to maximize the data used for steering.
The system analyses a green/red ratio to identify the crop and weeds from the background containing soil, stones, and other materials, enabling crops of different colours to be worked.
The display shows a shot of part of the plants sufficient for analysis. Guide lines or traces are shown on the touch-screen display, showing the quality of the correspondence, that is, the exact settings of both the camera and software. When weeds are detected, a graph showing the perimeter is overlaid on the image.
The position of the traces serves to align the elements of the weeding machine with the rows identified.
