Drum Mulcher

The drum mulcher is mounted at the front of the robot, allowing vegetation and pruning residues to be processed before the wheels reach them. This prevents branches from being pressed into the soil prior to mulching.

Key benefits:
• Branches processed before wheel contact
• No burial of woody material in soil
• Reduced soil compaction over biomass
• Cleaner material intake

Result: improved mulching efficiency and healthier plantation conditions.

The drum mulcher is designed to follow the ground surface precisely rather than floating above it. Front guide wheels and rear compression elements maintain stable contact with the terrain. This ensures reliable intake of pruning residues even on uneven terrain.

Key benefits:
• Continuous intake of branches and vegetation
• Stable mulching height across terrain relief
• Reduced bouncing on slopes
• Consistent biomass processing

Result: uniform mulch size and predictable decomposition.

The drum mulcher operates using a fully electric drive system that delivers constant torque and stable RPM throughout operation.
Electric drive ensures precise control and eliminates hydraulic losses.

Key benefits:
Stable cutting performance under load
Consistent mulch fragment size
Higher energy efficiency
Reduced mechanical complexity

Result: more hectares processed per charge and lower maintenance requirements.

The drum mulcher uses reinforced drum hammers designed for processing woody pruning residues and dense vegetation.
These hammer tools deliver strong impact energy for effective biomass fragmentation.

Key benefits:
• Efficient processing of branches and grass
• High resistance to impacts from debris
• Long wear life
• Reliable operation in dense vegetation

Result: consistent mulching performance and reduced downtime.

The mulching drum is built from multiple sections instead of a single shaft. This distributes impact forces and improves rotational balance. The design reduces vibration and mechanical stress during operation.

Key benefits:
• Lower bearing stress
• Reduced vibration
• Smoother machine operation
• Improved component durability

Result: longer service life and stable autonomous performance.

The drum mulcher allows precise adjustment of cutting height to match plantation conditions and vegetation density. Operators can adapt mulching depth to crop stage and terrain.

Key benefits:
• Protection of shallow root systems
• Reduced soil disturbance
• Controlled biomass fragmentation
• Adaptation to varying field conditions

Result: safer operation and optimized mulching quality.

The drum mulcher includes a rear roller that presses processed biomass gently into the soil surface after cutting. This improves contact between mulch and soil microorganisms.

Key benefits:
• Faster decomposition of organic material
• Improved nutrient recycling
• Reduced mulch displacement by wind
• Cleaner plantation passages

Result: enhanced soil fertility and improved plantation hygiene.

The drum mulcher includes a protective suspension system that absorbs impacts and detects abnormal resistance caused by hidden obstacles. If excessive resistance occurs, the system automatically stops operation to protect the robot and attachment.

Key benefits:
• Protection from buried stones or debris
• Reduced risk of mechanical damage
• Safe autonomous operation
• Lower repair costs

Result: reliable unattended mulching in demanding field conditions.
