Mecanização no descortiçamento da cortiça em Sardenha

Mechanical cork extraction technology in Sardinia, Italy, preserves cork quality and improves working conditions for cork tappers by reducing phellogen damage. Using sensor-guided reciprocating blades, the portable, backpack-mounted machine precisely targets cork-phellogen boundaries, enhancing tree health and regeneration. Field tests show a 30% increase in daily productivity compared to manual methods, which decline over time.
