Handling equipment - Receiving technology | PS 511

Gentle and quick remove from stock, ergonomical and maneuverable

The potato scooper, type PS 511, picks up the crop from the storage floor with high performance and transfers it to the following conveyors. The Scooper with its range of 11 m and a belt width of 50 cm convinces with its high throughput rate. Infinitely height adjustment at the discharge side for maximum gentle crop handling. The infinitely conveyor speed adjustment allows an optimum adoption to the various conditions. Thanks to the hydraulic single-wheel drive, the machine is very manoeuvrable and powerful, enabling high productivity as well as comfortable, fast and precise moving of the machine. The infinitely variable adaptation of the range makes it possible to shift the position of the Scooper without having to move the storage line.

Gentle transfer

SoftFlow can be installed at all transfer points. SoftFlow is the simple solution for a gentle and crop-protecting transfer from one conveyor to the next via soft, flexible and self-cleaning PU-fingers.

High conveying capacity and crop protection

The trough shaped conveyor belts with its "actively conveying side walls" (without friction of the harvested crop on the frame of the conveyor) ensures a high capacity and a gentle transport of the crop.

Comfortable operation

The wheel drives and the pick-up conveyor are operated via hydraulic hand lever valves. For an optimal view of the intake area, the ergonomic driver's seat offers a high level of comfort even for long working days.

Optimum crop flow

The infinitely variable adjustment of the conveyor speed allows optimum adaptation to various conditions as well as high throughput rates.

Flexibly applicable

For easy adaptation to downstream equipment, the discharge can be adjusted infinitely in height. The large swivelling angle between the Potato Scooper and the telescopic belt allows flexible positioning. The mobile, half-round rail enables a simple setting of a fix discharge point for downstream conveyors.
