Planting Machines by J.J. Broch

The cultivation of garlic begins with planting, and so does J.J. Broch's product range. Garlic can be planted in two ways: by planting a clove or by sowing the seed.

Generally, garlic is cultivated using cloves, similar to how onions are grown using sets. To obtain cloves, garlic bulbs must first be split. A garlic splitter can be used for this purpose. The J.J. Broch machine does exactly what its name suggests; it splits garlic bulbs into individual cloves, which can then be planted.

For planting cloves, J.J. Broch has designed special pneumatic seeders for garlic.

Harvesting Machines by J.J. Broch

For harvesting garlic, harvesting machines are employed. J.J. Broch offers two types for garlic harvesting: a machine that cuts the leaves and collects the bulbs in a bag or crate, or a machine that binds the garlic into bunches and leaves them on the field.

The "harvester cutter" from J.J. Broch extracts garlic from the ground, cutting off the leaves. The leaves are left in the field, while the de-foliaged garlic is collected in a bag or crate for storage or further processing.

The "harvester binder" works differently. This machine also extracts garlic from the ground, but instead of cutting the leaves, it binds the garlic bulbs with leaves intact, after which the bunches are placed back on the field.

Processing Machines by J.J. Broch

After harvesting garlic, various processing machines from J.J. Broch are available. The necessary machine depends on how you intend to deliver your end product. Processing often begins with sorting by size, for which J.J. Broch's sorting machine can be used.

After sorting by size, there are several options:
Cleaning and packaging the garlic, Splitting the bulbs for fresh packs or planting next year, Peeling the cloves.

For each step in the processing process, J.J. Broch has corresponding machines, except for packaging, for which a net packaging machine or net clipper can be used.
