Fast, safe removal of netting without tears

If netting gets caught the sensor automatically stops the spindle, preventing tears. The sensor automatically adjusts the spindle and wand speed to maintain a constant incoming net tension.

This unique sensor system (with rollers) greatly prolongs the life of netting.

Netting tension remains constant, no matter what size roll is being wound up or the tractor's ground speed.

Self loading and unloading of netting rolls

Full spindles are loaded using the tractor’s 3PL. The tractor is simply reversed into the roll, with the aid of self-locating guides, then raised with the linkage. If required, an extra roll of netting can be carried on the two arms which slide out.

In its standard narrow setting (shown above), the larger roll is 15m wide x 300m long, the smaller being 10m wide x 100m long both on 1.1m long spindles.

The steel spindles protrude from the end of the roll enabling easy safe mechanical handling.

The new NetWizz models are easy to adjust in width from:
1.15m outside wide for long distance transport
1.1m spindle length setting (1.55m outside)
1.4m spindle length setting (1.85m outside) as pictured on left
The sides now have 45º deflection to brush overhanging branches and vines to avoid catching.

Netting wound tight on steel spindles

Netting is stored from the vine on square steel spindles and end covers are fitted when in use. These covers have high sides and large sealed ball bearings for easy operation.

New netting supplied in bags or on narrow rolls can be applied straight over the vine with the NetWizz without the need to first wind onto spindles.

The NetWizz comes with 8 x 1.4m spindles which are stored in the holder. These spindles are 50mm square x 1.6mm thick, being 1.1m long for standard setting and 1.4m for the wide setting.

Improvements 

After 20 years, we have redesigned all NetWizz models. Frames are now much stronger, hydraulic motors 40% more powerful & 25% faster winding, top loop and mast from bigger steel, spindle drive coupling stronger, spindle covers stronger,  bottom steel side & top plate now twice as thick, more compact, safer, easier to operate. The bottom frame is the same for Standard Mast Auto tension, High Lift Auto tension and High Lift Swivel Head Auto tension models.
