Vinomatos | Planting Machines (Timeline)
Discover the evolution and development of Vinomatos planting machines.
Vinomatos’ history is intrinsically linked to the evolution of mechanized planting machinery. Since the 1980s, our managing partner, Georges Mandrafina, has been the visionary behind the development of equipment that has not only kept pace with, but often set the pace of innovation in the agricultural sector. Each machine represents a milestone in our journey, reflecting Vinomatos’ commitment to precision, efficiency, and sustainability.
This entire journey has enhanced the value of new solutions and technologies, fostering the search for and conquest of new markets over time. This has solidified our position as the undisputed leader in mechanized planting, thanks to our remarkable evolutionary trajectory, as a company always ready to adapt and face new challenges.
Time Map | Planting Machines:
1980 - Mechanical Planting Machine
01 | Mechanical Planting Machine: A robust manual system, ideal for small farmers and uneven terrain. Equipped with a simple but sturdy mechanical structure, powered by a tractor. It drastically reduces dependence on labor-intensive work.
1981 - Laser Planting Machine
02 | Laser Planting Machine: A natural evolution of the mechanical model, incorporating a light beam marking system that precisely indicates where each plant should be placed. While maintaining the simplicity and robustness of the original version, this technology allows for greater alignment, speed, and efficiency in planting, without the need for manual measurements.
1990 - Low-Cost Olive Planting Machine
03 | Olive Planting Machine | Low Cost: guarantees the reliability and robustness expected of an Olive, in this version we find a “light” version of our planting machine. Includes: chassis with plow, fixed, furrow closing blades and a hammer system, cable positioning system and side loader with a bamboo holder.
Model 1: includes fixed frame chassis and pile driver system (2.50m option) and wheel marking system.
Model 2: includes fixed frame chassis and pile driver system (2.50m option) and cable marking system.
1995 - Olive Planting Machine
04 | Olive Planting Machine: Cutting-edge technology in vineyard and olive grove planting, offering unparalleled precision and efficiency for agricultural producers. Developed for specific crop requirements, this machine incorporates an advanced system that ensures ideal spacing and depth for each plant, promoting robust root development and uniform growth. Its robust construction and highly durable components ensure reliable performance even in the most challenging soil conditions.
2020 - Révolution Planting Machine
05 | Révolution Planting Machine: The culmination of the technological leap in automation and efficiency, with multiple GPS-mechanized operations in a single pass (plant placement, stakes, wire, metal posts, drip tubes, and fertilizers), enabling exponential gains in productivity, time, and cost reductions for a wide range of agricultural land/crop planting types. For GPS-mechanized planting projects with the RÉVOLUTION, this enables a record reduction in planting time, with the capacity to plant up to 8,000 plants in a single day.
2025 - VinoPlast Planting Machine
06 | Máquina de Plantar VinoPlast: a nova máquina de plantar surge como resposta aos desafios da agricultura sustentável, minimizando o impacto ambiental e maximizando a produtividade. Possui sistemas avançados de plantação e precisos para o manuseamento e aplicação direta do plástico ao solo numa só passagem, optimizando todas plantações que utilizam plásticos agrícolas.
