It has a capacity of 2,500 kg/hr for adult leaves or 1,000 kg/hr for baby leaves with a maximum of 2.5% residual moisture,” said CEO Enrico Gribaudo. The basket has a large surface and a wider hole to allow excellent water drainage. The direct drive torque motor achieves high rotation speeds with excellent acceleration and braking characteristics.
