KIRPY DE.21 - The harvest guarantee
The innovative asparagus harvester enables fast and efficient harvesting. It minimizes labor costs and labor dependency and increases harvesting speed. Productivity is also increased by the fact that the harvester can be operated up to 24 hours a day.
Proven increase in asparagus quality increases profit.
The quality and hygiene of the fields is significantly improved by Kirpy. The machine loosens the soil and frees it from stones and old stalks, which significantly promotes the straight growth of asparagus. Rusting is reduced to a minimum, unlike hand harvesting. This increases the profit through more quality per kilo.
Kirpy with integrated foil guide
For high-yield asparagus plants, we recommend the long version of the Kirpy. This offers space for 6 workers (standard version – 4 places) due to a longer harvesting belt in the rear area. This means that a higher harvesting speed can be achieved in normal-yielding plants. In high-yielding plants, the harvesting speed no longer has to be reduced in order to collect all the asparagus, despite the increased volume of asparagus. The quantity of asparagus produced per hour increases by up to 50% with this option, while machine costs remain the same.
Straight bars
The asparagus changes its growth to a thrusting growth when harvested by machine. The stalks are clearly straighter and snow-white.
Functionality
Step 1
Cut dam
The innovative asparagus harvester picks up the entire ridge 6 to 8 cm above the root surface.
Step 2
Sift out soil, stalks, weeds and clods
Soil and asparagus are gently conveyed over a sieve chain and separated.
Step 3
Collect asparagus
The asparagus is then collected by hand on a sorting belt and stored in boxes behind the machine on the collection platform.
Step 4
Rebuild dam
In the machine, the earth is separated from stones and other impurities. Finally, a perfect dam is reshaped and rebuilt. In addition, the Kirpy makes it possible to move the dam after a sloping plowing up or to raise the dam after the first pass.
