Receiving hoppers - Falcon

Crop handling

Description

The Falcon receiving hopper is available in several versions and with different roller variations, so that the user can virtually custom-tailor his machine.

 

Extremely gentle handling of your crop

• 100% gentle handling of the crop, because all steel parts of the hopper floor are covered with soft rubber.

• The drop height between the bunker floor and the roller set can be adjusted from 16.5 to 21.5 cm.

• The drop height of the roller set to the product transport belt can be set from 25 to 35 cm and with the fall breaker fingers option ca. 10 cm.

• The diameter of the cleaning rollers is 90 mm. These small rollers ensure that the product is easily transported over the roller set to the end, thus ensuring a potato-friendly flow.

• The intake height is hydraulically adjustable.

 

Technically powerful

• Thanks to the capacity control, one can regulate a constant flow to the roller set.

• The floor chain has 19.2 tonnes of tractive power per chain.

• The speed can be adjusted from 0.5 (0.2 as an option) to 6.5 m/min.

• Thanks to the hydraulic drive, plenty of torque is available at low floor speed as well.

• Thanks to the way the shearing elements were designed, the rollers can be quickly exchanged. So the suitable roller (or a combination thereof) can be used for each type of crop.

• The receiving hopper is controlled via a touch screen and a numerical keypad.

 

Flat inclination angle

Thanks to the flat inclination angle of the bunker floor, the product is easily transported upwards in a thick layer.

 

Constant flow

The bunker floor is standard with a kink on the back so that the product is separated for a constant flow to the roller set. This increases the sieving capacity.

 

PU spiral roller set

The PU spiral roller set guarantees, in addition to an excellent screen capacity, a soft roller bed for the potatoes. The boost function allows the roller set to clean itself.

 

Transport belt

The product transport belt is height adjustable and can also be slanted for more capacity.

 

Scrapers

Thanks to the particular design of the shearing elements, the scrapers (in the case of smooth steel rollers) in every position are located vertically right below the roller, thus preventing build-ups.

 

Two roller sets

In the event of two roller sets, a simply designed lift set ensures that the presorter unit can be disconnected.

 

 

Gentle and flexible bunker

Different models can be chosen for the reception hoppers. An articulation at the front or back of the bunker can be opted for. Furthermore, the bunker is equipped with a unique bunker floor (100% product-friendly) with an increased transportation effect.

Potato friendly bunker floor

The hopper floor is standard equipped with a horizontal nod after the inclining part. This helps to break the solid flow of the product and ensures a better distribution and a constant flow of the product to the cleaning rollers. Therefore having an even higher sieving/cleaning capacity of the roller unit.

The roller unit can be customized with extra cleaning options for each type of cleaning rollers, which help to keep the rollers clean and optimize cleaning capacity under tough conditions.
