2022 Amity Technology 50 Series Defoliators 3750

Amity 50 Series defoliators work up to 30 percent faster than their predecessor to match harvester speed. Engineered to stay ahead of the harvester, you won’t have to defoliate acres ahead – taking advantage of the natural insulation provided by the crop canopy – delivering a high-quality product at a reduced cost.

The heart of the 50 Series defoliators is the Amity shrouded, combination steel front drum. It removes and finely sizes the foliage and distributes it evenly between the rows. Combined with a 10-pin second drum and a height-adjustable third drum, 50 Series defoliators give you the ability to match your harvesting speed and increase quality.

Active Height Control (AHC) on Amity defoliators is a major advancement in taming the ever-changing field dynamics you and your team run in to every day during harvest. Finding experienced labor during sugar beet harvest is challenging. With AHC, much of the need for an experienced operator is alleviated by sensors on the scalper bars.

During operation there are a number of changing dynamics for ground level and sugar beet height – uneven beets, sprayer tracks, and mud building up on the tires. Amity’s AHC system is constantly monitoring the beet height in comparison to the ground level and making adjustments on the height of the defoliator, up and down, as well as side to side. AHC gives you full defoliation with less damage to your sugar beet crop.
