Immediately after that, it is necessary to remove the formed peat rolls.

Otherwise, the rolls may get wet under the raindrops.

A high-speed agitator designed for agitating the milling crumb.

The trowel is attached to a conventional tractor.

The formation of rolls is carried out by a milling cutter.

The main advantage of this machine is the combination of the processes of drawing and milling peat.

When peat is harvested separately, one large roll is formed in three to five cycles.

The selection of peat and loading into transport trailers is carried out by a special loader.

The peculiarity of this method is the ability of enlarged rolls to withstand rainfall.

This allows you to carry peat harvesting regardless of weather conditions.

The new loaders provide a comfortable driver's cab and maximum protection.

Wheeled semi-trailer for peat removal.

Stable patency and high maneuverability on uneven areas of peat deposits is achieved due to the original wheelbase.

Semi-trailers deliver peat to the stacking site.

Unloading is controlled from the driver's cab.

The formation of the stack is carried out by bulldozers-stackers.

Such stackers can form stacks with a height of 4-storey building, up to 12 meters.

In cases where an increased quality of the extracted peat is necessary, for example, for the production of peat litter, the method of pneumatic cleaning is used.

A pneumatic peat harvester has been created for this purpose.

With its help, peat is cleaned directly from the surface without prior felling.

The air flows created by the fans through the nozzle draws dry peat chips directly into the hopper.
