Vinomatos | Planting Machines (Timeline)
Discover the evolution and development of Vinomatos planting machines.
The history of Vinomatos is intrinsically linked to the evolution of mechanized planting machines. 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 dictated the rhythm of innovation in the agricultural sector. Each machine represents a milestone in our journey, reflecting Vinomatos’ commitment to precision, efficiency, and sustainability.
All this trajectory serves to value new solutions and technologies, enhancing over time the search for and conquest of new markets, consolidating our position as undisputed leaders in mechanized planting, thanks to our fantastic evolutionary trajectory, being a company always ready to adapt and face new challenges.
Temporal Map | Planting Machines:
1980 - Mechanical Planting Machine
01 | Mechanical Planting Machine: robust manual system, ideal for small farmers and uneven terrain. Equipped with a simple yet sturdy mechanical structure, powered by a tractor. Drastically reduced the need for intensive manual labor.
1981 - Laser Planting Machine
02 | Laser Planting Machine: a natural evolution of the mechanical model, integrating a light beam marking system that precisely indicates where each plant should be placed. 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 in an olive planter; this version is 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 driving system (option
2.50m) and wheel marking system.
Model 2: includes fixed frame chassis and pile driving system (option
2.50m) and cable marking system.
1995 - Olive Planting Machine
04 | Olive Planting Machine: At the forefront of technology in vine and olive planting, offering unparalleled precision and efficiency for agricultural producers. Developed for specific cultivation demands, 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 guarantee reliable performance even in the most challenging terrain conditions.
2020 - Révolution Planting Machine
05 | Révolution Planting Machine: the culmination of a technological leap in automation and efficiency, with multiple GPS-guided mechanized operations in a single pass (plant placement, stakes, wiring, metal posts, drip irrigation tubing, and fertilizer application), allowing for exponential gains in productivity, time savings, and cost reduction for a wide variety of agricultural land/crops. For GPS-guided mechanized planting projects using 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 - RevoPlast Planting Machine
06 | Revoplast Planting Machine: the new planting machine emerges as a response to the challenges of sustainable agriculture, minimizing environmental impact and maximizing productivity. It has advanced and precise planting systems for handling and direct application of plastic to the soil in a single pass, optimizing all crops that use agricultural plastics.
