PROVITIS LEAF REMOVER LB 260

The LB 260 is a pneumatic leaf-removal system engineered to cleanly strip leaves from the vine wall — boosting airflow, light penetration, and spray access within the canopy. It uses a tractor-mounted blower that generates air at 0.6–1.0 bar, channelled through rotating nozzle heads. These nozzles deliver a rapid, hammer-like pulse of air which removes leaves gently but thoroughly, with the working height adjustable between 400 mm and 640 mm. 

​

Equipped with dual-rotor stripping heads and a cyclonic pre-filter to keep the air intake clean, the LB 260 ensures reliable consistency even in dusty vineyard conditions.

Its design makes it possible to operate on the day before, or even on the day of harvest, significantly reducing hand-harvesting effort and improving yield quality. 

​

This leaf-removal method helps reduce disease risk (such as Botrytis), improves spray coverage and fruit exposure, and dramatically lowers labour compared with manual defoliation — making LB 260 a valuable tool for growers aiming for efficiency and high fruit quality.
