Suid-Afrika ontmoet eerste Dewulf aartappel stroper

Dewulf, specialist in harvesting technology of potatoes and carrots, introduced its first potato harvester in Suid-Afrika vroeër vanjaar.

Carl Steyn, owner of the company Forest Lodge, was the first and proud owner of a Dewulf RJA2060, 2-row trailed potato harvester.

Danksy hierdie aankoop sal hy elke jaar meer as 250 ha oes.

Die eerste twee maande van die oestyd in Suid-Afrika is reënerig. Die res van die seisoen is die land bekend vir sy droë klimaat met kluite as gevolg daarvan. Die RJA2060 is boonop toegerus met 'n plat krimpvarkie en vingerstelsel en 'n maklike skoon eenheid onder wat die kluite versorg.

Carl Steyn explains: ‘Before we knew Dewulf, 90% of our land was harvested with a single row potato harvester. When we had wet and difficult circumstances, the harvester couldn’t handle these conditions. This meant that we needed to harvest by hand. To enlarge our productivity and to keep harvesting in difficult situations, we needed to invest in a suitable harvester. After we gained information of other international farmers and two company visits, we were convinced that Dewulf was the best choice we could make. The first potato harvester for South-Africa was ordered!’

The favorable climate and the fertile soil in South-Africa contributes to great opportunities for Dewulf. ook McCain South-Africa harvests now with two RJA2060’s. One of these harvesters was also present at the exhibition of Interpom in Belgium. Before the end of the year, a new selfpropelled potato harvester will also be shipped to another South-African farmer.
