INFACO AT1000 Automatic Tying Machine: Revolutionising Vineyard
The Ultimate Tying Solution for UK Vineyards and Fruit Growers
The INFACO AT1000 Automatic Tying Machine represents the pinnacle of vineyard management technology, offering unparalleled efficiency and precision for professional growers. As the UK's exclusive direct importer and dealer of INFACO products, Agricare brings this revolutionary French-engineered tool to British vineyards and orchards, complete with dedicated UK support, demonstrations, and servicing.
All-Terrain Versatility for British Growing Conditions
Designed specifically for the diverse requirements of modern viticulture, the AT1000 delivers exceptional performance across all vineyard training systems. Whether you're managing single or double Guyot, Arcure, Chablis, or trellis systems, this versatile tying machine adapts seamlessly to your specific needs.
The AT1000's wide opening makes it equally valuable beyond vineyards, particularly for fruit growing applications including raspberry and kiwi production—increasingly important sectors in the UK's diversified agricultural landscape.
Engineered for Speed and Efficiency
In today's challenging agricultural labour market, efficiency is paramount. The AT1000 delivers:
- Lightning-fast tying cycle of less than 0.5 seconds
- Up to 8,000 ties from a single battery charge
- 100% automatic operation requiring minimal training
- Quick and easy commissioning—simply feed the wire and pull the trigger
- Simplified reel changes completed in just 30 seconds
- High-capacity reels containing over 3,000 ties each
This remarkable efficiency translates directly to reduced labour costs and increased productivity—critical advantages for UK growers facing seasonal worker shortages and rising operational expenses.
Ergonomic Excellence from the Pioneers in Electric Pruning
Building on INFACO's 40-year heritage as the inventor of the world's first electric pruning shears, the AT1000 features an ergonomic grip identical to the renowned F3020 pruning shears. This thoughtful design creates a true combo from pruning to tying, allowing workers to transition seamlessly between tools with minimal adjustment.
Weighing just 615g (excluding battery), the AT1000's lightweight construction minimises operator fatigue during long working sessions. The balanced design ensures comfortable handling throughout the day, while the intuitive controls make operation straightforward even for less experienced staff.
Precision Control for Perfect Results
The AT1000 delivers consistent, uniform ties that promote healthy plant development and optimal yields:
- Adjustable twist settings from 1-4 via the integrated display screen
- Fine-tuned knot strength with 2-7 twists
- Maximum tie diameter of 28mm accommodating various plant sizes
- Choice of wire diameters (0.36mm, 0.40mm, 0.44mm, or 2×0.36mm) for different applications
- Ties that maintain their strength for 8-12 months, supporting plants throughout the growing season
This precision ensures your vines and fruit plants receive exactly the right support—neither too tight to restrict growth nor too loose to risk damage from wind or fruit weight.
Smart Design for Practical Field Use
The AT1000 incorporates numerous features that enhance its practicality in real-world vineyard conditions:
- "Single block" module design preventing loss of spare parts during maintenance
- Easy-opening top cover providing quick access to the wire system
- Simplified servicing with accessible internal mechanism
- Removable/interchangeable battery system
- Compatibility with F3020 and F3015 batteries (AT100036 model)

These thoughtful design elements ensure the AT1000 remains reliable and serviceable throughout years of intensive use in British vineyards and orchards.
