AVR launches the Spirit 9200i VW
Description
Following the successful introduction of the Spirit 9200i in 2024, AVR is now launching the Spirit 9200i VW: all the strengths of AVR’s most recent trailed harvester, completed with the patented Varioweb cleaning system.
In line with the successful concept of the Spirit 9200, the Spirit 9200i - with keywords such as Improved (cleaning modules), intelligence (automated functions) & intuitive (ease of use) - already offered some important upgrades in the areas of control, traction, haulm web, and the Clean & Go-bunker.
Now, AVR is adding to all this the patented Varioweb cleaning system, which enables flexible cleaning for the most challenging harvesting conditions.
Below, you’ll find the strengths of the Spirit 9200i VW.
ISOBUS
The machine’s drive system is compatible with ISOBUS. This means that the machine can be configured via the ISOBUS-compatible display screen of your choice. AVR can offer you a Müller Touch800 or Smart570 screen for this purpose. The machine also comes with an ergonomic AVR joystick as a standard, and thanks to the ISOBUS-AUX system, various functions can also be controlled via your tractor joystick.
Clear icons and intuitive menus, supplemented by the automatic functions of the machine, all serve to optimize the user-friendliness of the Spirit 9200i VW.
Cleaning modules
- Sieving capacity/drop heights
Two or three sieving webs ensure first cleaning and transport the product to the Varioweb module. Either two short digging webs or one long digging web can be attached to the front of the machine. An additional digging web – and therefore one more drop – significantly increases the machine’s sieving capacity. If the soil can be sieved easily and for the gentlest treatment, a single long web is the best option.
Drop heights are kept to a minimum throughout the machine. Because the haulm and sieving webs are so close to one another, the drop height from the digging to the sieving web is limited to the greatest extent possible. Thanks to this mechanism, the AVR Spirit 9200i VW guarantees the lowest drop heights on the market, with a 33% margin on the closest competitor.
- Varioweb cleaning module – Exceptional cleaning capacity
The Varioweb cleaning module features the combination of a pintle belt and axial rollers. A unique feature is the ability to infinitely adjust the product flow volume that travels across the axial rollers from the cabin of your tractor: from 100% when intensive cleaning is required to fully removing the axial rollers from the product flow when hardly any cleaning is required. This is achieved by moving the pintle belt forward or backward.
An ingenious Varioweb belt allows this movement within the limited space. Given that the machine has been designed for the most challenging conditions, the pintle belt’s side walls and the axial roller set have been coated with stainless steel and/or plastic to keep the amount of soil sticking to it to a minimum.
This also allows you to save settings and easily retrieve them later using presets. As such considerably improving the ease of use of the Spirit 9200i VW.
- Haulm
The primary haulm separation system is a combination of the sieving web and the haulm web. A set comprising two rows of retainers and another set comprising three rows of retainers mounted above the haulm web ensures that the potatoes stay in the machine. These sets are individually adjustable in height, and the rows of retainers have been mounted to ensure an adequate distance in between the rows to optimize the machine’s separation capacity. In the event of an accumulation of haulm, the frames of the rows can be folded upwards.
- Clean & Go bunker
The Spirit 9200i VW is equipped with an 8.5-ton bunker. The unloading height can be adjusted up to 4.20 m, for which a hydraulic collapsible shock absorber or crate-filling funnel is available.
A Clean & Go bunker is also an option. With this bunker, you can opt for the best of both worlds: a buffer for 8 tons of potatoes, additional sieving capacity, and the option to unload the bunker while driving!
- Traction
Hydrostatic wheel drive is available optionally. An additional hydraulic pump drives a 2815cc wheel motor on the right wheel and a 1745cc wheel motor on the left wheel. Consequently, the rear axle is provided with a traction capacity of 120 hp. The traction system – which is even more powerful than in the previous model – also excels in terms of user-friendliness: it can be operated via an intuitive supplementary keypad, while the ISOBUS control automatically detects whether the machine is moving forwards or backwards.
- AVR Connect
The Spirit 9200i VW can be fully monitored remotely, online. An AVR Connect account allows you to monitor data in relation to the work you have performed, sensor data and alarms. Even remote diagnostics are possible for even better support from your dealer or AVR.
- Quick-change digging unit
Thanks to the quick-change digging unit, you can change digging units quickly and efficiently. This flexibility allows you to harvest several crops using the same machine.
- Full hydraulic drive
Thanks to the full hydraulic drive, which works with four separate hydraulic pumps, you keep full control over the harvesting procedure.
