WSB 800 Belt Picking Machine

High-performance Picking Machine

WSB Hop Picking Machine

The WSB is the most powerful hop-picking machine in our program. Its modular construction enables an ideal adjustment to the hop grower’s requirements, providing a flexible installation. Its capacity can be increased later on at minimum expenditure. The WSB picking machinery guarantees a first-class, gentle picking.


Adjustment and maintenance work can be done comfortably. Picking drums distance, bine passage speed and picking belts speed have a stepless control system. The picking process can easily be adjusted to different hop varieties.

1 Bine Insertion Arm

For hanging the bines into the bine passage, you can choose between a single and a double bine insertion arm.

2 Picking Belts

Position and angle between the picking belts can be adjusted. The installation of different, spring-loaded picking fingers enables a careful intervention into the whole bine depth. The cones are removed gently and without damages. A direct drive provides different speeds.

3 Bine Exit Belt

After the picker, the bines are laid onto the bine exit belt, transported outside and reliably decoupled from the bine passage.

4 Standing Cutter SH 600

The picked bines and the waste from the STARPICKER© are shredded by the standing cutter SH 600. Due to the high drum weight and the cutting geometry of the two diagonally arranged knives, a high cutting performance can be reached. A silent and trouble-free operation is assured. The precise cutting geometry considerably increases the lifetime of the knives.

5 Drive of Bine Passage

The drive of the bine passage is prepared for an additional passage arm. A second bine insertion arm can easily be installed later on.

6 Bypass / Hinged Belt / Sorting Belt

A specially designed hinged rake belt gently guides 97% of the picked material in the „bypass“ past the STARPICKER©.

7 Triple Pre-Collection

Best green hop is already taken out before the cleaning process, without any damages. Up to 50 % of the cones are led directly out of the machine to the silo. Optionally, a V-Pre-Collection is possible.

8 Wind Extraction

The wind extraction is taking 50 % of the leaves onto a grid belt above, without any loss. The waste is transported directly to the waste fan.

9 Pre-Collection before Cleaning Fan

A further 20 – 25 % of an additional cones are separated from the leaves by rubber belt. The wind duct is taking out leaves towards the cleaning fan, so that pure cones are taken out.

10 STARPICKER© SZ

The STARPICKER© SZ is the compact subsequent picker unit by WOLF. Different picking drums, optimized in speed and design, are separating the cones from the remaining material. The STARPICKER© SZ is working maintenance-free during the harvest. It is nearly impossible for bines winding or waste material collecting in the picking drums. This self-cleaning effect has been reached by a special cleaning unit. The rake belt below is filtering out coarse waste. The waste is transported directly to the Standing Cutter SH 600 and shredded.

11 Cleaning Fan

New frequency-controlled fans are providing an energy-efficient operation.

12 Rubber Belt Cleaning

The approved belt cleaning system has remained unchanged from the previous version. As usual, the cleaning can be adjusted totally uncomplicated. Here, the last cone is separated from green hops.
