Grimme has made updates to its RH-Combi receiving hopper range, with a focus on picking and sorting in a single pass, and gentle crop handling.
The hopper is equipped with padding on the side walls in the 3.1m – 3.5m wide front section as standard. This is said to minimise stress on the harvested crop when filling the hopper for the first time.
The hopper floor has also been completely redesigned. The conveying ‘pockets’ are deeper to improve the entrainment effect and residual emptying.
The maximum hopper floor speed has been increased to 5m/min for high throughput rates. In addition, the lower “bend” was equalised so that the hopper floor rises more gently. The crop therefore flows very evenly onto the cleaning rollers.
The straight bunker floor of the RH 24-60 “S”, already introduced in the new RH family, is now also available across the full RH-Combi range. This version of the receiving hopper is primarily used for particularly sensitive vegetables.
To improve comfort for the picking staff, the spacious picking table offers space for up to eight people. The height adjustable platform raiser is now available so that every workstation can be set up as comfortably and ergonomically as possible. Lighting is also available so that everything can be picked reliably at dusk and in the dark.
The CLS clod separator unit has been uprated to improve crop protection, the separating wedge between the steel roller and the discharge conveyor as well as the side walls of the crop cross conveyor have been padded.
