Korvan Vineyard Mechanization

Oxbo brings a full line of Korvan equipment to the vineyard. The Korvan system brings true, year-round, mechanical solutions to the vineyard. The line has been designed to allow you the ability to adopt some level of vineyard mechanization today and then add other tools or parctices later on, as they make sense to you.

We understand that it is difficult to consider mechanization.

But we also know that the "balanced cropping" method of vineyard mechanization can help you continue to grow high quality fruit AND be competitive in the global wine community.

FBS Fruit Thinner
The Korvan FBS fruit thinner will help you achieve balanced cropping and economic sustainability by making it easier than ever to mechanically balance your vineyard’s fruit load. Built in the USA, the Korvan FBS fruit thinner can be mounted on any of the three available Korvan tool carriers: the 1210, the 1220, or the 2220. Each piece of the Korvan vineyard mechanization system has been designed to meet the unique needs of American vineyards with an eye on modern technology, labor-use efficiency, and cost savings.

The Korvan FBS fruit thinner is available in a double-sided configuration for VSP and a single side configuration for quad trellis.

Cordon Impactor
The Korvan cordon impactor is an ideal tool for the heavier removal of excess crop in the form of whole clusters and individual berries on horizontally divided training systems like quads, lyres, etc. As with the Quad Dynarotor, the cordon impactor can be used on one side of the row and when used with the Korvan 1220 and 2220, can accomplish the job of fruit thinning on two half rows per tractor pass with no hand follow up required. The Korvan cordon impactor is our toughest on fruit removal, while still gentle on cordons and trellis systems.
