Understanding farmers and offering smart technology solutions are key characteristics of Kanna Industries. This was clearly demonstrated once again at NAMPO, with Kanna’s range of robust and efficient wool equipment.
With a focus on the unique challenges of local wool farming, Kanna’s presence at the show gave farmers the opportunity to experience the quality and versatility of their products first hand.
Kanna Industries, led by founder and owner Willa Nolte, has built a reputation for developing equipment specifically tailored to the needs of South African farmers.
With a background in farming, Willa understands the daily challenges of wool production and strives to offer solutions that simplify work and increase profitability.
Wool presses for every need
Kanna’s range of wool presses is designed to meet the diverse needs of farmers:
Fully automatic hydraulic press: This model offers maximum efficiency and requires minimal labour input. It is ideal for larger farms processing high volumes of wool.
Electric-hydraulic press: With a capacity of 3 to 4 bales per hour, this model strikes a balance between automation and cost-effectiveness.
Manual hydraulic press: For smaller farms or those without access to electricity, this model offers a reliable solution with a capacity of 2 to 3 bales per hour.
All of these models compress wool to the same density, helping to save on transport and storage space. The presses are also mounted on wheels, making them easy to move.
Sheep conveyor belt: A revolution in sheep handling
Kanna’s V-shaped sheep conveyor belt is a groundbreaking tool that simplifies the handling of sheep for dosing, shearing, and inspection. The conveyor gently lifts the sheep and moves it forward, reducing stress for the animal and making the farmer’s job easier.
The unit is mounted on wheels and can be easily moved to different areas on the farm.
Wool sorting table
Kanna’s rotating wool sorting table eliminates the need for workers to move around the table. This boosts productivity and reduces physical strain, resulting in a more efficient sorting process.
With a capacity of 3 to 4 bales per hour, this electric-hydraulic press offers a balance between automation and cost-efficiency.
Reliable conveyors for multiple applications
Kanna’s conveyors are designed for handling a variety of agricultural products such as feed, lucerne, and wool bales. The height of the conveyors can be mechanically adjusted from 1,8 to 4,5 metres, and they can be powered by hydraulic or electric systems depending on the farmer’s needs.
During NAMPO 2025, Kanna’s display was a popular destination for farmers looking for reliable and efficient wool equipment. The team offered practical demonstrations and was available to answer questions and advise on the best equipment for specific needs.
Kanna Industries’ commitment to developing practical, reliable, and cost-effective wool equipment makes them a valuable partner for South African farmers. Their presence at NAMPO 2025 further reinforced their dedication to the agricultural community.
