Garlic clove splitter and grader: the first step to even planting
LIDE is a garlic bulb splitter combined with a clove grader: the first step in the Broch line. Splitting the bulb into single cloves and sorting them by size is the condition for even, uniform planting: the planter meters best when the clove size matches the gripper. The peeling belt with pressure roller is adjustable in height to any bulb size and works gently, without damage; brushes separate the cloves from skins and roots, two fans suction off residue (adjustable), and the inspection table lets the operator manually reject cloves unsuitable for planting. The classifier sorts healthy cloves into 4–5 sizes. The family includes a smaller model (LIDE-S) and a higher-output model (LIDE-B).
Why grade before planting
The planter (PLMA/PLNA) meters consistently only when the clove diameter matches the gripper. Material graded by size means an even stand, even emergence and easier harvesting. According to the manufacturer, separating bulbs and sorting cloves is “the first step to even and uniform planting”.
Gentle, without wounds
A damaged clove is an entry point for infection. The splitter separates the bulb without pressure, and the brushes remove skins and roots, so the clove comes out clean and intact.

Splits garlic bulbs into single cloves (splitter/desgranadora) and sorts them by size (grader), preparing planting material for an even stand.
The LIDE-S is the smaller model, the LIDE-B is the high-output line. Exact outputs differ between editions of the catalogue (to be confirmed with the manufacturer).
Healthy, selected cloves are graded into 4–5 sizes by cylindrical screens, into separate outlets/crates.
Because the planter meters most evenly when the clove size matches the gripper. Uniform material gives an even plant stand and emergence, which is why it is the first step in the Broch line.
