Eclairvale® is a new machine developed using patent n° EP 2677856, validated in 26 countries, which allows the thinning of fruit trees from blossoming to the young fruit stage. Attached to a tractor, it has a freely rotating rotor onto which semi-rigid rods are attached. Its rotation occurs through the penetration of the rods into the vegetation and the advancement of the tractor, which induces a slow rotation and rubbing of the rods against the branches, which causes some of the flowers or fruit to fall. This mode of action is a breakthrough innovation as the plant is neither hit nor...

Hydraulic opening of the folding deoice Brush diameter: 3 metres

The brush penetrates the tree and does not go beyond the tractor The phenological stage The driving mode The penetration of the rods into the tree The forward speed of the tractor Eclairvale® EH For the EH model, a jack set in the vertical beam makes it possible to work on trees 5 metres high or to work exclusively on the upper part of the orchard. The Eclairvale® is tilted using the hydraulic jack of the tractor lift. The offset jack allows: —► Working on the left or on the right Regulation of the penetration of the rods

The rotation of the brush occurs through the contact of the rods in the tree and the movement of the tractor. The absence of motorisation makes it possible to continuously adjust the rotation speed by means of the forward speed, which allows the tree and the fruit to be preserved. The rod does not hit the tree or the fruit. Eclairvale® works predominantly through the action of the rods rubbing against the flowers or fruit.
