Carrot technology - Trailed harvester | T-400H

4-row, trailed, with fine haulm elevator and cart elevator

The harvester, type T-400H, is a trailed three resp. four row toplifter, with fine haulm elevator and cart elevator. The machine can be used for an effective harvest of carrots, parsnips and other root crops. The machine is characterised by its simple, robust design. The multi-row intake makes the machine particularly powerful. With the help of the fine haulm elevator, adhering soil can be efficiently separated. A share loosens the soil below the root. The rotating torpedoes raise the haulm/carrot tops so that it can be pulled out by the clamping belt. A root-cleaner removes adhering soil. A cutting unit removes the haulm/carrot tops at the base so that it can be ejected behind the machine. The carrots are conveyed via cross conveyor onto a fine haulm elevator to remove adhering soil and other impurities. The fine haulm elevator is followed by a transfer web, which is mounted in the direction of travel, forwarding the crop onto the cart elevator.

Benefits

• High level of crop protection thanks to the digging system with a top lifter belt. This reduces losses and increases the proportion of marketable goods.
• Additional cleaning performance with a fine haulm elevator to remove any impurities. This reduces the cost and effort of washing and recycling the impurities.
• High capacity due to multi-row intake.
• Overload protection devices fitted as standard in the top-lifting assy prevent major damage to the intake, thus reducing repair times and costs and increasing the operational reliability and availability of the machine.
• Shear bolts for the torpedoes reduce the risk of the belt arm lowering/diving into the ground.
• Shear bolts in the front part of the intake prevent the top-lifting assy from bending in the event that the intake "dives" into the ground or hits a large object in the field.
• A spring prevents the two halves of the top-lifting assy from bending open when a stone is conveyed upwards.
• The first top lifter rollers arranged next to each other allow the clamping force to be adjusted in the foremost area. Compared to offset mounted top lifter rollers, these can achieve a higher clamping force if required in order to reduce losses or increase the harvesting speed.
• The standard quick-release system for the following offset mounted top lifter rollers enables an easy adjustment of the clamping force or simple belt replacement to minimise machine maintenance costs.
• The bearing of the top lifter rollers with rubber spring elements is maintenance-free and therefore reduces maintenance costs and ensures a constant clamping force.
• Cutting unit with special sealing for long service life.
• Precise synchronisation of the cutting unit by a gear transmission for an accurate removal of haulm/carrot tops and a long service life.
• Standard rubber covers on the bars of the main web reduce damage and increase the proportion of marketable goods.
