New Generation Optimum
[avia_codeblock_placeholder uid="0"]
With the advent of the OPTIMUM range, PELLENC puts innovation at the service of excellence and performance, for a new approach to wine growing reconciling crop quality, respect for the environment, cost-effectiveness, and ease of use. As such, each grower will find in the OPTIMUM range of harvesting machines and the multifunction carrier an equipment solution suited to their needs and the characteristics of their vineyard and operation.

TPI 2 continuous all-wheel-drive as standard on all OPTIMUM carriers
TPI 2 continuous all-wheel-drive is a system that prevents slipping,whatever the speed of the machine and the turning angle (e.g. at the headland). The wheels receive the same oil flow rate at all times, even in the event of a loss of grip. The TPI 2 system stretches the limits of grip.

Optimises every drop of fuel:

Within easy reach and no tools required
The only carrier on the market capable of working two full rows with two different tools simultaneously
The growing concerns of vine growers about the profitability of their farms, particularly in light of restrictions on herbicides, climate change, new requirements regarding pesticides, and expanding acreage are what led us to develop COMBINED MULTITASKING.
The PELLENC multifunction carrier is equipped with mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic coupling systems for the quick fitting of one tool at the front of the multifunction arm and another at the rear, so that two full rows can be worked at once.
Today, more than 80% of our carriers work in multifunction mode.
Features
There is no equivalent on the market. This is the only carrier capable of working 2 full rows with 2 different tools. That ability to use a combination of tools simultaneously required our engineers to develop the carrier’s hydraulic, electrical,and electronic capabilities.
The machine’s intelligence lies in its control console and touchscreen panel, which enable the operator to control two tools simultaneously using a wide range of automated systems. The interface is designed to make the operator’s job easier and safe.
It is equipped with 2 INDEPENDENT tool-holder arms, each working one row with the following automated functions:

Unrivalled work quality. Performance, comfort and ease of handling.
In the mid 1990s, we were looking for solutions to optimise the amortisation of our harvesting machines, and in 1996 we bought our first PELLENC multifunction carrier. We were so satisfactied that we now own 35 PELLENC carriers, each of which do pre-pruning, spreading, leaf stripping, spraying and harvesting work. Our carriers accomplish 800 h of work per year on average, our investments were quickly amortised.
This type of optimal operating rate is achieved by the simple and quick change of tools, which allows us to respond very quickly when it comes to the needs of our customers.
Our drivers operate PELLENC carriers all year long in the field. They have perfectly mastered its operation and settings, which means the work gets done fast and the quality is very good!
Using a carrier to perform all types of vineyard work also allows us to ensure the sustainability of our customers’ blocks. The large wheels of our carriers drive in the middle of the row, limiting root compaction at the foot of the plant.

THE MOST COMPACT AND MOST WELL-BALANCED CARRIER ON THE MARKET
The PELLENC teams designed the OPTIMUM carrier taking into consideration the needs of multifunction work. It offers excellent performance with all PELLENC tools.
OPTIMUM provides unmatched manoeuvrability in headland.
In use, the small size of the PELLENC OPTIMUM carrier offers:
Root compaction limited => cm ² pressure identical to that of an in-row tract:
Work on two rows at the same time. Practical: automatically adapts to the planting width. Economic: works the soil faster than with a tractor.
Carry out soil maintenance with the Multifunction tool carrier
The fact that you can attach any type of soil maintenance tool makes it practical.
Average work speed: 3.1 MPH, even in dense vegetation. Extra-strong boron steel disks (no sharpening needed). Automatic opening around posts thanks to the artificial vision system (optional). Cuts vine shoots cleanly.
Complete range: a harvesting head that is perfect for your vineyard. High working speed. Quality harvesting and optimised sorting.
Harvest with the Optimum harvesting head
Power and speed, both day and night. Working speed of up to 5 MPH. Pradines Blades: offering the same quality as with the pruning shears. Automatic opening around posts thanks to the artificial vision system (optional). Cordon tracking (optional).
Pre-prune with Visio
Reduce pruning costs and time without fatigue. Working speed: up to 1.9 MPH, both day or night. Up to 90 % less time spent pruning. Automatic cordon tracker by Visio. Unmatched operator comfort. Cutting quality.
Pruning with the TRP (Precision Pruner)
Spraying is completed in no time. Spray 3 to 6 rows all at once, for both narrow and wide vines.

OPTIMUM work flow rate
from 571.9 gal to 791.9 gal depending on the model.
No loss of harvest: Thanks to its revolutionary Pellenc stainless steel open-work structure, berries and juices pass directly through the “Flexible Sorter Conveyor”. The L-shaped design of the PELLENC Flexible Sorter Conveyor ensures removal of foreign body from the back and prevents jamming.
Flexible Sorter Conveyor
Only grape clusters and leaves pass under the lower suction fans, i.e., less than 30 % of the harvest:
Optimal sorting of berries, whole bunches and leaves at the conveyor output.
The grid belt of the sorter catches the harvest at the output of the Flexible Sorter Conveyor. Juice and berries pass directly into the bins.
The upper suction fans are hardly used, making them economical and quieter.
