New Zealand Automated Vine Strippers Used in the United States

The Langlois Stripper Shredder

Including Texas, Washington State, British Columbia

HASTINGS, HAWKES BAY, NEW ZEALAND, March 5, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Walter Langlois' Machinery Services of Renwick, New Zealand, has sold its automated and tractor mounted vine stripper into North America. Units are currently working in Texas, Washington State, and British Columbia.

The vine strippers were originally designed for New Zealand vineyards. They confer the immediate advantage of sidestepping most of the physical danger involved in humans manually stripping away the old vines.

Proprietor Walter Langlois cites this as an equal benefit to the quantified effect of The Langlois Stripper Shredder each stripper doing the work of 20 humans.

The value of the strippers in North America was first recognised in the north west of the United States where vineyard labour is both scarce and expensive. Then as the cost-benefit of the automation was recognised, the demand for the units started coming from the southern states.

Mr Langlois gives high marks to his North American agent Blueline Manufacturing of Yakima. The company which specialises in grower automation saw the possibility for the New Zealand –developed vine strippers in North America and then went on to ensure full support.

Mr Langlois' Machinery Services in the heart of New Zealand's own vineyard region focuses on automated tractor-mounted equipment for vineyard applications.

These applications include vine stripping, vine shredding, tying, pruning, and weeding. These met the grower demand for cost-effective handling along with the need to reduce injuries incurred during the traditional labour intensive hands-on methods.
