The optimized design of the new Pellenc tying machines

Pellenc launches its new model of professional tying machines featuring optimised ergonomics, performance and design. This is the F3X developed by the French company based on feedback and reports from people who use this particular type of tool every day. Pellenc explains in a technical note that the F3X machines were specifically created in order to make operators' work faster and easier. Precisely for this reason, the technicians at the company located in Pertuis, France have sought to limit the weight of the tying machines as much as possible - the V25 version weighs in at 845 grams, the H35 at 850 - and to find a compromise between working speed and ergonomics. Particular attention was paid to the design of the handle and the choice of materials, aiming for a solution that would enhance its operational agility. The heart of the new Pellenc tying machines is the Alpha Lite battery, which has a capacity of 30 W and a weight of just 210 grams. According to the manufacturer, the Alpha Lite battery can perform up to 13,000 ties on a single charge. Enough for a full day's work. The F3X macines offer eight different tightening levels to adapt to different working needs and are compatible with two different types of spools, the traditional 200-meter model that is carried on the belt and the new 80-meter spool applied directly to the tool. Various types of wire are available, designed to meet the most varied operational needs. The design of the opening has also changed. The V25 model features a traditional beak opening, while the H35 has a distinctive and innovative 35 mm horizontal opening specifically designed for crops utilizing irrigation systems or trellises that require larger diameters or that may require double tying.
