How Berstron's Harvester is Revolutionizing Melon Farms
Harnessing the Sun:
The sun has been a constant companion to farmers since the dawn of agriculture. Its rays have nurtured crops, dictated seasons, and influenced farming decisions. Today, Berstron takes this age-old relationship a step further, transforming sunlight into a powerful tool for modern-day melon farming.
Berstron’s solar-powered harvester is not just a machine; it’s a symbol of evolution in agricultural practices. By capturing the sun’s energy through its advanced solar panels, this harvester operates with unparalleled efficiency, reducing the reliance on traditional fuel sources and slashing operational costs.
But the benefits don’t stop at savings. By transitioning to solar energy, melon farms can significantly reduce their carbon footprint. In a world grappling with climate change, this shift towards sustainable farming is not just commendable; it’s essential.
Moreover, the harvester’s design ensures optimal energy capture. With 24 panels, each boasting a capacity of 450W, the machine can generate up to 10.8 kW in ideal sunlight conditions. This robust energy generation ensures that the harvester can function seamlessly, even when the skies are overcast.
As melon farms across the globe seek innovative solutions to enhance productivity and sustainability, Berstron’s solar-powered harvester emerges as a frontrunner. It’s not just about embracing technology; it’s about harnessing nature’s most abundant resource to fuel our future.
Folding melon harvester
Our engineers and seasanond constructors build this patented off-road foldable conveyor to assist during the harvesting of for instance melons. The machine is diesel electric powered. The folding mechanism allows for convenient and safe travel from field to field at 30 Km/h (18,6 mph). All wheels are powered and are steering and the wheelbase is adjustable to adapt to your needs.
We build these machines on request and tune it to your specific needs. If you are interested please contact us. We are happy to answer any questions you might have!
