N. BLOSI Manufacturers of Agricultural Machinery
The company was founded in 1969 under the name Blosi Sante and shortly later became Blosi Sante and Son in Reda di Faenza (RA). The first production was of trailed platforms for fruit harvesting, but already in 1971 was developed the first self-propelled machine. In 1976, when the production of the picking platforms had already started and the company was in full swing, the son Natalino, who had taken over the company for several years, moved the production in the new factory of Russi (RA), where still now the company is operating. The building is of 2000 square meter on a lot of 4300 square meter. It’s in this period that the company is expanding its market area and begins to export. In the year 1980 the first machine was sold in France and the brand N. BLOSI (which stays for Natalino Blosi) begins to become synonymous of quality also outside Italy.

Benefits
Benefits
- Increased productivity by about 150%
- The use of these platforms makes working in orchards less stressing and more productive.
- Compared with hand picking, the harvested fruits will have much less damages and bruises, which would mean much less fruit of second quality.
- The average operating life of our picking platforms is of at least 20 years, but we can count a large number of picking platforms still at work after 30 years.
- Normally a machine is paid back in 3 to 5 years, this counting not only the bare cost of the implement, but also all the servicing, fuel and labor. In other words, purchasing an N. Blosi can be a good investment.
Options
All our platforms, can be equipped with compressor for operating scissors and other pruning equipment, front / rear forklifts and rails for handling the bins, stop-and-go switch for facilitating the operations, work lights for a 24/24 use and many other options and accessories that would customize the machine and satisfy any need of the grower.
Uses
The self-propelled platforms of N. BLOSI were designed for trellis orchards of different sizes and types (e.g. apples, pears, peaches, plums, prunes, apricots, kiwi, etc.). Different models and outfits make the N. Blosi platforms very versatile to satisfy the needs of orchards all year around. In fact they can be used not only for harvesting, but also for pruning, thinning and maintenance works such, for example, placing hail nets.
