Weeding machine Rotobrush

Weeding machine with brush system

The “ROTOBRUSH” weeding machine is a simplified version of the Colibrì weeding machine that uses a brush system element instead of discs.

 

ROTOBRUSH SFONDO INDUSTRIALE RETRO

 

The “Rotobrush” weeding machine operates directly next to the sown row, just 2 cm from the plant, and is suitable for crops sown on ridges or raised beds with minimum inter-row spacing of 15 cm. It works without damaging the root or leaf systems, prevents weed germination, and is ideal for false sowing or use in stony soils.

Thanks to its active weeding action provided by the motorized rotation of the brushes, “Rotobrush” finely crumbles and levels the soil without displacing the plants. The speed and configuration of the brushes can be adjusted and customized based on the plant’s growth stage and soil type.

TYPE OF SOIL Sandy, medium-textured, with small stones
INTER-ROW DISTANCE Minimum 15 cm
INTER-PLANT DISTANCE
SOWING/TRANSPLANTING Centered on raised beds and ridges
WORKING SPEED 1.5 – 3.5 Km/h
REQUIRED PREPARATION OF THE LAND Bed former with smooth leveling roller; use of RTK GPS for soil preparation, sowing, and weeding
ROW N. Depends on the seeder in use, working on one bed or multiple ridges at a time
SYSTEM TYPE Hydraulic
USE Intuitive and modular

  2. Hydraulic sideshifting frame, fixed wheels, Joystick guide and operator’s seat at choice.
  3. Hydraulic sideshift frame folding max to 3.00 on road for trailed machine
  4. Hydraulic sideshift frame carries offset elements

 

Frame sizes including third point attachment:

240 – 300 – 350 – 450- 520 – 600 c

m

Fixed frame

Support wheels adjustable in height

Applicable to various frames maintains machine alignment.

 

Hydraulic translator frame, fixed wheels, Joystick guidance and operator’s seat of your choice.

The frame consists of 2 sections: one fixed attached to the tractor and the second that operated by hydraulic cylinders.
The guide through a joystick (which can be removable) acts by translating the elements placed on the second frame.
Suitable for heavier machines. Operator is required when automatic camera is not present.

Mounts 320 mm, 400 mm, 500 mm crested wheels.

Options list

Flex springs

Mounted on spikes placed on the directional wheels, they lift and break the tractor track.

 

Pipe lifter

Device that lifts the hose before the Rotoblizz passes through.

 

Fertilizer spreader

A system that allows fertilizer to be administered fertilizer, during hoeing and weeding work.

 

 

HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEM WITH JOYSTICK AND CAMERA + MONITOR 

A high-contrast HD camera mounted in front of 2/3 sown rows projects images onto a 12V 10’5 monitor located in the cab.

Used in aid of RTK automatic guidance on the tractor: the tractor driver controls the direction of the machine from the cab by acting on the sideshifter, precisely correcting any errors in trajectory.

 

AUTOMATIC GUIDANCE SYSTEM WITH CAMERA

A special camera, placed in front of the machine, recognizes the prevailing “green” color of the plants and the prevailing “red” color of the ground.

A special software processes the two preset colors, selecting two distinct areas that allow the program to correct and maintain the trajectory of the machine thanks to the translating frame.

The operator thanks a monitor placed in the cabin, will see the panoramic image on the transplanting rows and at the same time the path processed by the software.
