Various innovations have been implemented in the course of the development on the GRIMME receiving hoppers of the RH and RH Combi series.
Storage according to size
For pre-processing and sorting of different sized potatoes and onions for storage, so-called mesh belt sorting machines are used. Optionally, the new sorting machine WG 900 can be fully integrated into the receiving hoppers of the RH 12 Combi, RH 20 Combi and RH 24 Combi. This new combination of two matched machines allows product pick-up, separation, inspection and sorting into two fractions with just one machine, ensuring an optimal, straight-line product flow.
Collecting discharge conveyor for impurities
For the adaptive use of the RH 20 and RH 24 receiving hoppers with separating and fractionating devices, when working, for example, in difficult soil conditions, the rollers of the fractionating device can be used not only for fractionation, but also for separating stuck earth. In this case, the impurities sorted on the fractionating device are transferred on to the ground removal conveyor via an optionally integrated collecting outlet conveyor. The advantage is that as a result, only one downstream conveyor is required for the removal of impurities.
If the fractionator is used exclusively for fractionation, the sorted fraction conveyor can simply be pushed back into position above the collecting discharge conveyor. The collecting discharge conveyor is positioned within the machine width and is therefore optimally protected against collisions when maneuvering.
Work lighting
The RH 20 and RH 24 receiving hoppers are optionally available with six LED work lights to illuminate the machine and the area around the machine. The work lights can be installed or rearranged individually.
Protective housing for control panel
All GRIMME receiving hoppers can now be equipped with a protective housing for storing the control panel and other control devices, such as the remote control for the telehandler, protected from dust and moisture.
