History

Originally, TEBECO, s.r.o. started to develop and manufacture mechanical equipment for hemp harvesting as one of its custom development project.

Its very first effort involved the development of a testing machine with a 1 m wide cutter bar that identifies the efficiency and service life of the cutting system. On successful testing, a Schumacher harvester with two cutter bars and 4 m span was designed. This machine was designed to harvest plants with stalks of no more than 2 m. When the Schumacher machine proved its qualities in practice, hemp producers soon began demanding machines that could harvest plants that are as much as 4 m tall. Tebeco responded to these needs by developing Clipper, a machine that cuts plants so tall with an output of over 2 ha/hour.

In view of the huge potential of the development of hemp industry technologies, Tebeco launched an independent division called Tebeco – Hemp Technology that specializes in the development of hemp harvest and processing technologies.

In the course of time the development of harvesting equipment split into two categories: single-bar and multiple-bar machines. The current multiple-bar production program includes the Clipper 4.3 model with three cutting bars and the Clipper 4.4 model with four bars. Single-bar machines are represented by the Panther 3.1 model.
