AVR launches the Mamba, a new conveyor

Description

 

The AVR Mamba is the successor to the CTK. Aside from a higher capacity, greater flexibility and optimum user-friendliness in adjusting the machine, the Mamba also features AVR Line Control.

 

The AVR Mamba conveyor can be used for a wide array of tasks. This is partly because it is available in two different belt lengths: 6.5 or 10.5 meters. Due to its high capacity and considerable length, the Mamba 80-10 (10.5 meters) is the perfect conveyor for swiftly and efficiently loading trucks, while the Mamba 80-6 (6.5 meters) can be used seamlessly for the intake and delivery of potatoes or other bulk goods in a crop handling line.

  • Maximum capacity, no damage

The V-shaped belt guarantees a high capacity plus optimum product protection. The wide angle of the V-shape maximizes the capacity, while the product cannot come into contact with the frame thanks to the considerable width of the belt. The belt is fitted with a profile – which makes it particularly suitable for the upwards transport of rolling products – as a standard. However, in circumstances where is scraper is required, a belt without a profile that is fitted with a scraper is available.

  • Solid frame

Thanks to its sturdy monobody frame, the Mamba guarantees the reliable transfer of bulk products in all possible transport applications. The belt drive, by means of a drum motor, is located in the machine’s head. This pulling drive prevents the belt from slipping.

  • Flexible and user friendly

The Mamba combines flexibility with user friendliness, both of which are essential to the multi-functional deployment of a machine in a crop handling line.

  1. The dosing and intake height can both be easily adjusted with a hydraulic pump. Thanks to its low intake height, the Mamba can easily be placed underneath the Falcon reception hopper.
  2. The Mamba can be fitted with caster wheels. The wheels can be positioned transversally, and thanks to the rotatable support point at the intake side, the Mamba can effortlessly be transported by just one person.
  3. The Mamba is frequency-controlled as a standard: the speed can be adjusted infinitely. A second speed can also be set if desired, which is extremely convenient in combination with the AVR Scorpio crate filler if a heightened buffer capacity is desired when switching from one crate to another.
  4. Just like the other machines in the AVR crop handling range, the Mamba can be connected to the AVR Line Control circuit. This guarantees the optimum linkage of the various machines in the crop handling line.
  • Basic version

Is the basic version adequate for your product? The Mamba can be fitted with a hand pump to adjust the product discharge and intake heights through a simple electronic on/off control system without additional functions, with one basic speed.

  • Convenient add-ons are extra power outlets, LED working lights and a protective cover for the conveyor belt.
