In some production areas, stone fruit trees have already started blossoming. There are many plants where it's in full swing, but there are also several hectares from northern to southern Italy that are about to blossom in the next few days, also thanks to the ongoing high pressure. Therefore, it is advantageous for companies at this time of year to have a tool capable of removing excess flowers and fruit, both to manage the productivity of their plants and to cut labor costs.
"The professional cordless radiator ARVIPO AF 100 is now available on the market. In just a few hours, we shipped over 100 pieces to regions such as Emilia Romagna, Sicily, Apulia and Calabria. The tool is mainly used on peaches, plums and apricots. Between now and the next two weeks, we believe we will receive dozens more orders," says Leonardo Carrasso, owner of Cormaf Srl, an Apulian company that has been in the operating for over 40 years.
The ARVIPO AF 100 cordless thinning tool, weighing just over 500 g (including battery), is distributed in Italy exclusively by Cormaf. It is a light, practical and precise tool, ideal for thinning, a manual operation that is difficult to mechanize.
"The 2023 novelty is the thinning head, i.e., equipped with longer and more flexible rubbers with a round tip. The company can therefore decide whether to use the spiral shape, which allows to pick a precise part of the branch, or to use the thinning head, which allows flowers to be removed more casually but faster. This new option, however, is ideal for experienced users.
The ARVIPO AF 100 thinning head does not damage branches and leaves and is reliable. "The quality of the lithium-ion battery is high, and it lasts up to 7-8 years without any reduction in performance, if properly maintained. The tool has a small, intuitive control display in the center of the handle, which allows the operator to set 4 speeds and change the direction of rotation. The ARVIPO AF 100 thresher is part of a wide range of professional products to meet all farmers' needs, as the same battery can be applied to a variety of implements.
