The trimmer of the “Potel” series belongs to the type with cutting bars featuring double alternated movement of the blades called “double-blade”, reducing the vibrations to the minimum. This system performs a neat cut making the wound on the shoot of the vine less evident and allowing more rapid healing. Differently from the cutting system with “free blade” (knife) producing a wider and more irregular wound, it requires more demanding daily maintenance, with the cleaning and sharpening of the blades many times a day, the periodical checks of the rotation parts (bearings, belts) as well as higher risk exposure due to the ejection of the residual vegetation during the work.

The POTEL BIL TRIMMER features a `double-blade` mechanism with two mobile blades (series COLO04 tooth) on the vertical cutting bar. The Double-blade movement with double connecting rod enables the sliding of the two blades without any vibration and ensuring a neat cut of vegetation. Besides, this type of movement implies require less maintenance work both during daily work and for the preparation for garaging while not used.

The trimmer uses the scissor cutting system (blade/counter-blade). The modular construction of the machine allows a customized configuration depending on the pruning method of the vineyards. Every cutting segment or module consists of five fixed blades and two mobile blades, a hydraulic motor with the driving parts hosted by a safety carter. the steel carter has been designed and tested to guarantee utmost safety to the operator protecting him/her against any projection of vegetation during the trimming. Every cutting segment or module works on 0.70 m height.
