When driving on the roads, the intake table is folded parallel to the vehicle, along the outer side behind the cab. This arrangement gives the driver an excellent view over the whole vehicle, which is very important especially on narrow roads.
The tilting of the tables into the intake and rest positions depends on the distance, i.e. the movement is triggered at a precise point prior to reaching the relevant end setting. The new hydraulics, combined with the proportional valve technology ensures that the time required for the tilting movement of the complete intake mechanism is substantially reduced, despite the longer tilting travel distance.
The 10 m working width also increases the proportion of the mass of beets on the spiral rollers in the outer area of the V-shaped intake.
This uses the whole of the spiral roller area effectively, thereby improving the intensity of the cleaning. The gearbox of the side roller tables has been completely redesigned, with a construction that makes servicing easier. The drive is by means of a single hydraulic motor per table side, which is fixed by flange at a protected position on the inside of the table. The new roller bearing system gives a long service life with reduced lubricant consumption.
The threaded, dual-function fingers on the claw rollers also contribute to reducing the operating costs.
