Vanhoucke Machine Engineering products

Higher harvesting speed than the standard leek harvester. This is possible because the disk places the leek nicely on the picking table. The operator receives the leek in packets. Every disk equipped harvester has a longer harvest conveyor, so there is room for more instruments. The corner between conveyor and soil is reduced with the long conveyor, and that avoids leek damage.

This harvester is designed for family businesses who are looking for a robust machine with a long operating lifetime. The machine has it’s own hydraulic circuit, only the cylinders to control the height need oil from the tractor. The large shaking device, conveyor and picking table are steplesly variable in speed. All cylinders are controlled by a cobra switch. The harvester is equipped with the necessary lights to travel on the road.

A steel knife that goes underneath the leek, to break open the ground and to release the roots of the leek. The knife is adjustable in height by a spindle or optional by hydraulic engine.A small shaking device at the front of the machine (to clean out the ground in between the roots). This shaking device has a horizontal axis movement; therefore the machine has great ground removing capacity.A great shaking device underneath the clip bindings. Adjustable in different directions.Peeling tumbles to clean out dirt.

The cabbage harvester is suitable for different types of cabbage, like red cabbage, white cabbage and green cabbage. There are two different harvesters, one for industrial treated cabbage and one for fresh market cabbage. The harvesting principle is the same for both harvesters.The cabbages are lifted upwards by two propelled torpedos. These torpedos take the cabbages to the front of the clip bindings. All leafs are folded over the cabbage to protect it.The clip bindings take the cabbage and pull them out of the ground. Both clip bindings are shaped like cabbage and protected with rubber. Underneath the bindings there is a propelled knife that cuts of the roots and the redundant leafs. The knife is adjustable in height.The harvesting system is copyrighted and designed in 2003.

This machine is designed to harvest celery in all circumstances.At the front of the harvester, 2 stainless steel torpedoes are attached to lift the leaves. This ensures an ideal grip of the clip bindings on the celery.Under the clip bindings, a moon-shaped knive cuts the roots of the cellery. This knive is adjustable in height with a spindle.
