Maximum precision guaranteed by Ortomec: harvesting leafy vegetables has never been easier
Precise, productive but also delicate: this is how Ortomec harvesters can be appreciated right from the first use! Being an extremely fragile product, it requires a machine dedicated to its collection that takes into account all its most peculiar characteristics.
For this reason, it is essential that the leaf lettuces are harvested through a clean cut of the product itself. The vegetable must therefore be cut at the optimal point of the plant. At this specific time it is essential to lend maximum attention: in fact, cutting the vegetable inside or under the crown risks preventing its correct regrowth.
It is therefore not advisable to proceed by operating manually. Today there are machines that can help your company, so that the harvest allows the product itself to continue to regrow perfectly even after the first cut. With this in mind, automating the harvesting process turns out to be the best choice for your crop.
