Combined will maintain prominence in next harvest in Cuba

These two prototypes of self-propelled harvesters with a Cuban patent, manufactured by a Chinese company and the result of joint cooperation, had been operating experimentally for several years in sugar campaigns, the head of Azutecnia’s New Technologies Group also told Prensa Latina, German Aguilera.

These are modern and competitive machines, fully automated, that have on-board systems, GPS and other characteristic elements of precision agriculture, which will accompany Kase combined and other high-yield equipment in the harvest.

In the last harvests, most of the mechanized cutting has been carried out with imported high-productivity harvesters – to which the CCA 5000 M and CCA 5500- models will be added progressively and the rest by means of KTP-1, KTP-2 and others. machines.

Aguilera specified that 20 CCA 5000 M and two CCA 5500 will intervene in the campaign, the latter are provided with mats to be able to harvest in case of humidity in the fields.

He pointed out that the CCA 5000 M successfully passed the validation tests, after many hours of exploitation in the fields and specific tests under the guidance of specialists from the Azucarero Azcuba Business Group (to which Azutecnia belongs) and designers, assemblers and consultants.

It is an efficient and competitive equipment, capable of harvesting 50 tons or more of sugarcane per hour, with results similar or superior to other high-productivity combinations existing in the world, he stressed.

Meanwhile, preparations for the harvest are progressing in the country, which should begin this month as announced.

It will be a short campaign as there is insufficient raw material available, which demands greater efficiency in the work, sector executives recently reported.

With the development of mechanized harvesting in Cuba, only about 10 percent of the cane cutting is carried out by macheteros, mainly in hilly fields or others that due to their complex characteristics prevent the use of machines.
