Electrocoup Pruning Shears Speed Pruning & Reduce Injuries
24 January, 2013
Livermore, CA– Vineyard owners looking for ways to increase productivity and to save operating costs in a competitive market have long been forced to weigh the benefits of electric pruning shears against the ever-present possibility of workers losing a finger to these powerful tools. Livermore-based Infaco USA now offers a stunningly simple yet ingenious way for vineyard owners and managers to have their wine and drink it too: The Electrocoup F3010 shears bring all the speed and the assisted power of an electric pruner while virtually eliminating the possibility of injuries.
According toPractical Winery & Vineyard Journal, “hand pruning remains the single largest expense in vineyard operations” but mechanization can help. The Australian and New Zealand Grape Growers and Winemakers participated in a first ever research program that showed not only did workers quickly adapt to the pruners, but their output increased by an astounding 40 percent. What’s more, the Electrocoup F3010 also seeks to reduce repetitive motion injuries (RMIs) which OSHA sites as accounting for one in four lost-time injuries reported to the Labor Bureau of Statistics.
The Electrocoup F3010 shear itself is a light tool operated solely by pulling a trigger with one finger and can easily cut through 2 inch diameter branches. The operator wears a light battery pack fitted in a Camelbak style vest that allows for all-day pruning without recharging. To eliminate all fears of hand injuries, workers can don a cotton glove interwoven with metal fibers – when the glove is touched to any metal part of the Electrocoup F3010 – such as the sharp metal edge of the shears – the device is grounded and the blades won’t budge. With the safety glove on one hand and the Electrocoup in the other, workers move swiftly through the rows, grabbing canes, and pruning with confidence without the inevitable feeling of fatigue.
To work faster without the looming fear of repetitive motion injuries or serious wounds, the Electrocoup F3010 and its companion safety glove are a creative solution to a centuries-old problem.
