Aromatic Herbs Harvest: discover all the advantages of using our machines

Since ancient times, aromatic herbs have been part of our gastronomic tradition and, in addition to giving flavor and color to the dishes, they possess multiple beneficial properties.

This sector is  now  more  prosperous and growing  than ever,in Italy as in many other parts of the world. For centuries, man has been harvesting herbs by hand,however,  it is  a long and  slow process, which  currently  would risk  compromising the efficiency of any farm.

In this article we see how the Ortomec machines dedicated to the harvest of aromatic herbs work, and what are their characteristics ableto guarantee a rapid and effective processing of the product.

Herb harvesting machines: versatility and efficiency

The aromatic herbs are many and varied, each with its own characteristic and peculiarities. Basylic, dial, sage, thyme and mint are just some of the most common varieties in our country: among them they differ instructure, height and type of leaf. Precisely  this  diversity requires a particular cutting system,capable of adapting to the harvesting needs of each aromatic herb.

Ortomec has conceived and designed  the best solution for the collection of aromatic herbs,coming to  developa series of machines that adapt  perfectly to the characteristics of the plant.  Ortomec harvesters are practical and versatile because they are equipped with two cutting systems, depending on  the structural characteristics  and the destination of the harvested product.

First of all, ensuring a sharp and decisive cut of the plant allows you to preserve the leaf intact and minimize waste.

Not only that, Ortomec harvesters also take into account the function of use intended for aromatic herbs after harvesting. Will it be consumed fresh or transferred for later processing? Based on these variables, Ortomec has developed two cuttingsystems:

• The blade-ribbon, which allows a cut of the vegetables net and
• The double blade, which guarantees a fast and meticulous collectionto.

Choosing the right machine for harvesting aromatic herbs  certainly brings several advantages. The main ones? Theoptimization of collection times and  performance    and better cost management. 

Manual harvesting is clearly a long and slow operation, which requires a lot of labor and which certainly cannot  be  applied on a large scale.
