BFP 320 and BFP 370 shredders, with working widths of 3.20 m and 3.70 m respectively, are ecological alternatives to using chemical defoliants for potato crops. They can also be used before a chemical defoliant to make the product more effective. They are adapted to organic farming methods and perfectly suited to ridge cultivations. They adapt to your choice of row spacings (from 75 cm to 80 cm). Inner deflectors guide the residues between the ridges for easier harvesting.

Shredders adapted to potato crops

The BFP 320 shredder shreds potato tops finely and delivers the product between the ridges.

The potato crop specialists

BFP 320 and BFP 370 shredders, with working widths of 3.20 m and 3.70 m respectively, allow you to shred potato haulm just before harvesting.
They have special blades that are perfectly adapted to ridge cultivations, with no risk of jamming. They can be adjusted to suit row spacings (75 cm or 80 cm for the BFP 320 model and 90 cm for the BFP 370 model). Inner deflectors guide the residues between the ridges for easier harvesting.

Robust machines for fine shredding

The high-speed rotor (1758 rpm), with an outer diameter of 647 mm, has a greater suction capacity to handle large quantities of potato-leaf residues. The machine is equipped with counter-knives and bolted sheet metal, as standard, making this model a combination of high resistance and fine shredding.

User-friendly shredders

The working height is easy to adjust on the BFP 320 shredder thanks to the graduated scale on the wheels

Easy working height adjustment

These shredders are easy to operate. Working height is adjusted with the graduated support wheels.

Easy access for maintenance

Maintenance can be carried out by opening the rear hood. The large opening facilitates maintenance work and makes it easier to access the knives.
