REVO Piuma
Farming in Canada is a practice that dates back centuries and is something that’s slowly been established and perfected over time. It is a combination of tradition and historically proven methods, it’s something that’s still deep rooted in our communities.
Farming is, however, something that’s always shifting in this modern, fast-paced world. There’s a fine balance between proven and innovative modern farming methods and the key is developing a balance that saves time, money and unnecessary labour hours.
There are certain players in agriculture that are really shaking things up in this ever-changing, dynamic market.
Revo, an Italian-based company was formed in 2004 by the children of farmers who were particularly aware of the need to mechanize tiring manual work. This background provided the impetus which has driven them to create groundbreaking and innovative solutions, the REVÓ Piuma 4WD Apple Harvester is one such machine.
Designed with one thing in mind, to provide solutions in today’s challenging labour market. It helps you save on wage costs while increasing your marketable yield.
The REVÓ Piuma 4WD is your easy-to-use apple harvesting and pruning platform that utilizes the latest 4-wheel drive and auto-leveling systems to keep your pickers steady and your apples safe from accidental bruising. Instead of the traditionally picked 4-6 bins per day per labour worker, the Piuma harvests 40 bins per 8-hour shift, replacing approximately 8-10 workers. It features extreme agility with easily movable extension conveyors and an on-board compressor for air-driven pruning will allow your team to work cooperatively and efficiently to get the job done. This is a welcomed feature, as it reduces picking time on the traditional ladder and significantly reduces the risk of worker injuries. The Piuma is versatile and can be used for pruning and apple thinning too.
Growers Supply Co. is proud to be working with REVÓ and as an exclusive supplier of the equipment in British Columbia, is proud to be bringing this dynamic technology to the Canadian market.
