Retrieve for disposal, reuse, or recycling. We've got you covered!
Andros manufacturers implements and trailers designed to retrieve drip tape in a variety of field conditions and requirements. Each type of Andros retrieval equipment provides a unique advantage, from retrieving "over-the-row" to "end-of-the-Row" implements that produce large rolls for recycling and from vegetation to deep burial.
"Over-the-Row" versus "End-of-the-Row" Retrieval
"Over-the-Row"
Applications and Advantages:
- Small to medium size farms
- Collection of drip tape is for disposal
- Extraction and coiling happen in one pass
- Requires one tractor for both processes
"End-of-the-Row"
Applications and Advantages:
- Medium to large size farms
- Collection of drip tape is for Recycling or Reuse
- Faster speed for each process
- Can utilize truck to pull some retrieval trailers
- Create large, dense rolls for recycling
