Handling equipment - Receiving hopper | RH 16

Intake volume of up to 9 m³ and soil cleaning

The compact Receiving hopper RH 16 with its hopper volume of 4 m³ to 9 m³ impresses with a high performance combined with minimum damage to the crop. The soft, wear-resistant polyurethane (PU) spiral rollers achieve lowest impact on the crop and an effective separating performance. The maintenance-free direct drives of the PU spiral rollers, with their infinitely variable speed adjustment, enable a perfect adaptation to all operating conditions and requirements. This drive concept provides the basis for the centrifugal cleaning system, called Turbo Clean, whereby adhering soil is loosened from the PU spiral rollers at maximum speed. For direct storage in boxes, the receiving hopper RH 16-60 and the GRIMME box filler GBF match perfectly.

Benefits

Height adjustable intake flap

The height of the rubber intake flap can be adjusted easily and without tools, so that a simple, perfect adaptation to different transport vehicles is possible.

Crop protective, flxible hopper floor made of rubber

The hopper floor made of rubber, with its specially arranged 15 mm high flights ensures as well a safe and gentle transport of the crop as a reliable emptying of residues.

Electro-hydraulic drive

The electro-hydraulic concept allows infinitely adjustment of all important drives.

Thoroughly cleaned

The centrifugal cleaning system Turbo Clean offers the possibility to remove sticky soil from the rollers. Turbo Clean is ideal for sticky, adhesive soils. By use of an automatic timer it can be activated without the need for manual intervention.

Capacity Control

A sensor which monitors the filling level of the receiving hopper regulates the optimum hopper floor speed at all times. In this way the entire storage line is used to its capacity without manual readjustment.

Powerful and gentle

For maximum crop protection with the highest separation performance, GRIMME has perfected the soft PU spiral rollers over the years. The soft spiral rollers have a high self-cleaning effect to achieve an optimal cleaning result without obstructions even under difficult, sticky conditions.

Maintenance-free

The rollers are driven directly and without loss of power by one hydraulic motor each. The speed of each pair of rollers can be adjusted independently of each other. Furthermore, the groups of rollers are adjustable in distance to achieve the best results with different crop sizes.

Especially designed for receiving hoppers

The GRIMME operator terminal GBT 831 has been specially developed to operate the receiving hoppers and Combis. All functions can be adjusted and displayed in a convenient and clearly laid-out manner.

Capacity Control

A sensor which monitors the filling level of the receiving hopper regulates the optimum hopper floor speed at all times. In this way the entire storage line is used to its capacity without manual readjustment.

Optimum crop flow

The infinitely adjustable hopper floor speed enables an optimum crop flow 

Thoroughly cleaned

The centrifugal cleaning system Turbo Clean offers the possibility to remove sticky soil from the rollers. Turbo Clean is ideal for sticky, adhesive soils. By use of an automatic timer it can be activated without the need for manual intervention.

Trouble-free operation

The Top Clean belt scrapers ensure that the belts run smoothly on heavy, sticky soils.

The storage line evolves into an assembled unit

Flow Control connects all machines that belong to one storing line to each other. The entire line can be stopped by each machine without delay or automatically stops itself in case of trouble. The entire storage line can be started at the push of a button in a programmed start-up sequence from any terminal. In order to avoid blockages, the machines start from the final discharge point of the storage line back to the receiving hopper with a programmable time offset. The minimal manual control effort allows the entire line to be operated by a single person, thus reducing the need for additional manpower. In conjunction with the automatic speed control of the hopper floor, called Capacity Control, a uniform crop flow in the entire storing line can be ensured under all conditions.

Gentle crop transfer

The minimal drop step enables gentle crop transfer from the hopper floor to the PU spiral rollers.

Infinitely adjustment

The speed of the roller-sets can be infinitely adjusted for optimum and particularly gentle crop cleaning. The infinitely variable spacing and inclination adjustment of the PU spiral rollers enables quick adaptation of the soil cleaning to varying soil and trash proportions. The intensity of cleaning can be adapted via levelling adjustment.

SoftFlow

Simple solution for a gentle and crop-protecting transfer from one conveyor to the next via soft, flexible and self-cleaning PU-fingers.

• Compactly designed receiving hopper, particularly suitable for narrow building arrangements
• Gentle intake due to soft rubber floor
• The special shape of the rubber-flights on the belt leads to high capacity, supports a high crop protection and reduces wear on the conveyor belt.
• Optimum crop flow due to infinitely variable hopper floor speed
• Gentle crop discharge from the hopper floor onto the spiral coils
• Gentle soil cleaning with PU spiral rollers
• Infinitely speed adjustment in two packets (coil 1, 3, 5 and 2, 4, 6) ensure an optimal and crop protective soil separation
• Quick adaption of the soil cleaning to varying amount of trash via infinitely levelling and distance adjustment of the PU-coils
• The intensity of cleaning can be adapted via levelling adjustment
• Maintenance free direct drives
• Comfortable operation via operator terminal type GBT 831
