Agricultural machinery Durán leverages the Fima show to deliver two innovations for the agricultural sector. Those who do not know the product turned out winner of the silver medal for innovation in the last edition of the Agritechnica fair, can not miss the opportunity to visit your booth for this world premiere: the automatic afilacuchilla 'autocut' for all Jumbo silage trailers. Another innovation will be the combination of the line system Pöttinger integrated in John Deere tractors, allowing regular loading speed of an automatic way, the slope of the masses of the sheaf and the point of optimum use.

Intelligent combination of tractor and tow line integrated into tractors

The line system integrated Pöttinger of John Deere tractors allows regular loading speed of a way to automatically, yet the masses of the sheaf and the point of optimum use. Permanent research of the current state of the entire load is, among others, by the new Isobus developed by Pöttinger, ultrasonic sensor bar the measure of the time of twist in rotor of burden and the extent of the level of filling of the trailer.

The new system allows regular automatically loading speed.

The automation is based on the principles of Isobus, but is a joint development of Pöttinger and John Deere. The Pöttinger autoloader communicates with a John Deere tractor with automation device integrated on the tractor. Only this system of tractors (John Deere 6030 Premium and 7030 Premium series) and PowerVault autoloader storage Pöttinger (Jumbo or Torro), with the sheaves scanner developed by Pöttinger, facilitates the regulation of loading speed.

Automatic regulation of the system between tractor and autoloader speed is completely new. Particularly used the platform Isobus, including the Isobus Ultrasonic sensors. This platform Isobus was expanded to include communication of the parameters of safety of tractors and commanders of the autoloader. Automation offers two modes:

-Mode echo, for economic fuel consumption: the autoloader is powered with an adjustable, fixed occupation of 70-90% individually according to user. The advantage in the ECO mode is the care of the machine and tractor, as well as less fuel consumption.

-Mode Max, to a maximum speed and performance. The autoloader is conducted to a load of 95%. Speed is adjusted to the corresponding value of the moment of turning of PTO and facilitates an optimal loading of loading speed.

The advantages for the customer are miscellaneous:

- Productivity 10% higher: potential of saving of 1.000 to the year (with 300 hours of work to the year) by the load improved (point of optimum exploitation) as well as prevention of overload of the system and time of unemployed (the speed adjusts of way prospectiva to the volume of gavilla)

- considerable Improvement of the comfort of driving and download by means of the adjust automatic of the speed according to the instructions for use. To inexperienced drivers like veterans, the automation of the use of the tractor trucks system/autocargador facilitates the use of day and especially of night.

- In spite of a filled but homogéneo, the machines protect to avoid overload of the system (for example tip of load by jams) and increases his time of length.

-Gain in hygiene for avoiding jams and unemployed unnecessary.

Installation of automatic afilacuchilla 'autocut' for all Jumbo silage trailers

The device 'autocut' allows a sharpening right directly in the line trailer.

The cycle of sharpening can be adjusted according to wear with the blades from the remote controller. This significantly reduces maintenance costs and at the same time guarantees the durability of the quality of court with a lower power consumption, thereby increasing performance.

To remove the blades, which until now was once a day, he comes to an end. The intensive use of 10 to 20 hours a day inevitably reduces the edge of the blade. This increases the demand for power and fuel consumption up to 15% and stony areas up to 20%. With the new sharpening system is maintained throughout the day, it's simple and automatic.

The device 'autocut' received the silver medal in the recent edition of Agritechnica.

-Sharpening device is mounted directly on the trailer.

-Fully automatic sharpening of all the blades.

-The complete grinding cycle is carried out in about 4 minutes.

-The blades are always sharp for a precise cut.

-Saving of power (d) 10%.

-Significant reduction in maintenance costs.

Benefits include:

-Cutting quality: the forage is cut precisely without crush the product.

-10% Power savings: reduced fuel consumption in approximately 3 litres per hour, which is an annual saving of 1,200 euros in 400 hours of work. In addition, it increases performance and increases savings.

-Reduces maintenance costs: fully automatic sharpening of all the blades in cycles of approximately 4 minutes; It reduces the time of maintenance in approximately 45 minutes a day and allow a saving of about EUR 600 per year in maintenance for 400 hours of use.

-Total savings: 400 hours of use per year of the tow line, more than 1,800 euros.
