Leek

Our leek harvester is available in 3 different versions:

A lightweight, compact version for small areas: VITUS Porrum Classic
A version with a higher-capacity disc: VITUS Porrum Disc
An automatic version that completely eliminates manual labour: VITUS Porrum Auto

The leeks are cleaned as much as possible during harvesting so that the soil remains in the field. The leaves are trimmed once or twice (optional) during harvesting. This way, the leeks are already prepared in the field for further processing as much as possible.

The standard version (VITUS Porrum Classic) is a good basic machine (light and compact), with manual removal to place the leeks in the leek container. The machine with disc (VITUS Porrum Disc) has higher precision and travel speed and can optionally cut off leaf a second time. There is also the option of filling trailers and containers. The VITUS Porrum Auto is a hyper-advanced fully automatic harvester and works most efficiently, quickly and with the best cleaning.

VITUS Porrum Auto

With the VITUS Porrum Auto, manual labour is a thing of the past. Thanks to a smart design, a flawless circuit of consecutive movements and high-tech software, the machine automatically places the leek in a container.

VITUS Porrum Disc

The VITUS Porrum Disc has a strong chassis and long clip bindings. This gives the typical parts of our leek harvester more space to carry out operations. The disc at the back of the machine aligns the leek nicely on the conveyor so that you can easily take the leek off.
