BRAUD 9090X GRAPE HARVESTER

For over 40 years, our specialist teams at the Coëx factory in France, have designed, fine-tuned, and produced over 17,000 grape harvesters. The Braud history sets a benchmark in manufacturing quality, grape harvesting quality, and meets the multifunction needs for wine growers throughout the world. The SDC system (Shaking Dynamic Control) with flexible shaking rods, and the Noria collection system are at the heart of Braud DNA. These patented Braud technologies provide unparalleled shaking efficiency, respect for the wine stock, fruit integrity, and minimize ground losses.

Now available with side conveyor, the Braud 9000X Series can be fitted with a SOCMA patented destemmer. Add the optional destemmer to your Braud 9090X high-yield harvester and you will maximize fruit quality while maintaining high yields and harvesting capacity. An advanced mesh and finger system eliminates up to 99.56% of harvest impurities, or MOG (material other than grapes) including rachis, stalks, leaves other debris. By removing MOG while you harvest, you not only improve your efficiency, you help eliminate the herbaceous taste that can be transferred to the grapes during transport to the winery. For the two-hopper 9090X model, the optional destemmer is fitted on the top of each hopper and does not compromise hopper capacity for optimum productivity. The destemmer can handle high yields while providing outstanding harvest quality and minimal grape damage. Setting up the destemmer has been improved, with easier settings, to fine tune the destemming process resulting in best in class fruit destemming, fruit quality, integrity, and capacity.

The Braud 9000 Series was designed with operator ergonomics in mind, user-friendly interfaces, safety and easy maintenance. The washing system and maintenance functions in particular have been carefully engineered, which earned the Braud 9000 series a Silver medal at Sitevi 2017. The award-winning washing system comes standard to ensure cleaning is quick, easy, and effective.

Awarded a bronze medal at Sitevi 2017, the latest generation Braud Intelligent Management System, IMS 2.0, features added functionality: combined with the IntelliView™ IV monitor, it continually monitors the demand on the engine, keeping the harvesting parameters constant, but also taking into account the terrain and hydrostatic load, to constantly adjust engine rpm. The Braud high capacity range also features the benchmark Twin Lock hydrostatic system to maintain traction between the front and the rear wheel motors. As a result, traction is maintained in the most difficult conditions. The result is optimized fuel efficiency and industry-leading slope management.

Intelligent and intuitive automation saves time and enhances harvesting performance. The multifunction handle allows you to control all key machine parameters, including travel speed and direction, manual leveling and harvesting head functions. The right armrest can be adjusted in length and height, and machine functions can be analyzed at a glance courtesy of the IntelliView™ IV touch screen monitor. An interactive handle display will train operators directly on the monitor, teaching and self-training all functions and basic machine settings. The ACS screen will enable the operator to save the preferred picking setting and store for a later recall.

The ultra-wide 26.4cm IntelliView™ IV color touchscreen monitor is fixed on a sliding rail which can move up and down the cab pillar to position it just where you want it. When compatible multifunction implements are connected, the IntelliView IV monitor automatically sets work pages for easier control and management of the machine.

The base unit is designed to be used all year long, from pre-pruning to grape harvesting. In order to achieve this, a new patented system to couple and uncouple the picking head and a new front tool carrier were developed. Multifunction on demand will provide extra versatility, either connecting and automatically updating the screen to the tool attached. Multifunction on demand software provides extra adaptability, allowing control of any implement electrics/hydraulics through the multifunction handle and IntelliView™ IV screen.
