About used machines for Leek

Machines can be used to enable a variety of leek cultivation and processing operations to be executed mechanically. This can replace a great deal of manual labour. In other situations machines simplify and assist physical labour in operations that require a great deal of accuracy or where the crop is susceptible to damage, such the planting and washing leeks.

The following machines are used for the cultivation of leeks: planters, dibbling machines, row fertilisers, hoeing machines, vibration lifters and automatic and manually operated top clamp belt harvesters.

After harvesting, leeks are cut on length, washed and cleaned on a leek processing line. After that, the outer leaves can also be removed manually, if desired.

Why use second hand machines to grow and process leeks?

In most cases, investing in used machinery for the cultivation and processing of leeks is a wise decision. Thanks to the lower prices paid for used machinery, it will take less time to earn back your investment. This may be a great advantage, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. The short payback time will also give growers enough financial leeway to invest in the automation of other processes of leek production.

However, used machinery could also be an excellent solution for leek growers who wish to mechanise their manual processes but only have a limited scale of operations, as is often the case with organic farms or leek growers just starting out.
