Sometimes innovation comes from simple things, and this is exactly the case for Agri.Com Service who, at Interpoma 2014, presented their CKP 250, a clipping machine produced by Fa.Ma. Pruning, which even received a special mention form the National committee for technical innovation FederUNaCoMa during the latest edition of EIMA.

It seems like a normal clipper but it is actually equipped with additional blades on the vertical bar of this patented "window" cutting system.

Francesca Coppo, foreign sales manager for Agri.Com Service, explained that "with this system, we manage to get more light to the trees so they grow more buds. This in turn means they grow more fruit. We have tested the machine a lot and we can see that the system actually works."

CPK 250 was presented at Interpoma, but this does not mean it is only suitable for apple orchards. "A different set of blades can be used making it suitable for all kinds of orchards."

"It can be used for all orchards and is becoming increasingly popular not only in Italy but also abroad - Chile, Brazil, Canada and, most of all, Poland."
