De-leafing machines
De-leafing / defoliating machines for efficient and quick deleafing
A de-leafing machine is an essential tool for removing leaves from cut flowers such as roses and alstroemerias. Using specially designed brushes, the machine removes leaves and thorns from flower stems, saving you time and effort in the production process. By adjusting the density of the brushes, you can choose between thorough removal of all leaves and imperfections, or a less intensive treatment that retains more leaves.
How does a de-leafing machine work?
The de-leafing machine works by using plastic brushes to rub along the stems of flowers, pulling off leaves and thorns without damaging the stems. The brushes are easy to change, and the machine requires minimal maintenance, making it a durable and efficient tool.
Advantages of our de-leafing machines
- Time efficiency: Compared to manual de-leafing, a de-leafing machine is much faster.
- Stem protection: The brushes remove leaves without affecting the quality of the flower stem.
- Durable and low maintenance: With only the brushes as the primary wear-sensitive component, the machine is durable and easy to maintain.
- Customizable results: Choose between fine or coarse de-leafing results, depending on the type of flower and the desired appearance.
Applications of de-leafing machines
De-leafing machines are suitable for use in flower bunching lines or as standalone units, depending on your production needs. These machines are effective for roses, but also for other cut flowers where leaves or thorns need to be removed. Their efficiency ensures that your flowers are ready for further processing, such as bouquet formation or transport, more quickly.
Brush supply
Since the brushes are the most important and wear-sensitive part of the de-leafing machine, it is advisable to keep a stock of brushes on hand. This ensures you can quickly replace them when worn, avoiding interruptions in your production.
