Handling equipment - Store Loader | SL 80 Quantum

Operating range up to 22 m, belt width 80 cm, swivelling angle independent transfer step

The store loaders with 16 m to 22 m operating range and a belt width of 80 cm convince with their convenient operation and high storage performance of potatoes and other loose crop, such as onions, carrots or grain. Thanks to the electro-hydraulic drive and infinitely variable belt speeds with variable swivelling speed, the crop is treated extremely gently. The "Quantum principle", a specifically developed intake feeding belt, guarantees a perfect, gentle crop transfer in the intake range independent of the swivelling and conveying angle. Reduced rolling movements of the crop and a minimum drop height are ideal conditions for highest crop quality.

Benefits

Wheel drive

The hydraulic, maintenance-free wheel drive permits an infinite adjustment of the swivelling speed without disruptive rocking motions. The independently driven main wheels provide the machine with a high degree of flexibility so that it can be manoeuvred even in the narrowest spaces. The main wheels can be swivelled hydraulically for a fast moving and change in position inside the store.

Working lights

For optimal illumination of the working area in dark storage houses, the store loader can be optionally equipped with LED headlights. 

Comfortable manoeuvring and operation

As a standard, all models of the store loader series SL 80 are equipped with the joystick box GBX 820. This allows for a comfortable manoeuvring and an intuitive operation of all functions. In addition, the joystick box can be used as an extension of an operator terminal VC 50.

Conveyor

The 80 cm wide conveyor belt impresses with its very high transport capacity, which is further enhanced by the special GRIMME profile of flights and its trough shape.

Well connected

The store loader is connected to the crop conveyors via a coupling to enable a loss-free transfer during the swivelling motion.

Radio remote control

To enhance the freedom of movement even further, the most important control functions of the store loaders can be controlled via remote control. In addition, the entire storage line can be started and stopped via Flow Control to save unnecessary ways.

Large wheels

Large tyres enable an easy handling of the store loader, even in case of uneven floors in the hall floor.

Low discharge height

The gooseneck at the upper end of the conveyor ensures a minimum discharge/transfer height.

 

Reliable operation in all conditions.

The slip-free, pulling belt drive (fitted at the upper end of the conveyor belt) ensures optimum operational safety under all conditions.

Conveying of grain

The optional conveying speed of 120 m/min provides for a powerful transport of grain.

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.

swivelling limit

The swivelling limiter, which is available as standard, enables convenient semi-automated operation of the store loader. Using two sensors the store loader is swivelling continuously between the programmed limits (walls). The sensors automatically detect obstacles, preventing a collision. To restrict the swivel range further, limiting panels can be set up which are detected by the sensors mounted on the chassis.

Easy filling of the storehouse.

The long wheel projection of the telescopic boom allows to fill the storehouse without moving the store loader many times.  

Highest crop protection

The feature "Quantum" is a specifically developed intake conveyor which ensures a significantly gentler crop transfer at the feeding side of the store loader. It works independently of the swivelling- and conveying angle. Reduced rolling movements of the crop and a minimum drop height are ideal conditions for highest crop quality.

Closed and strong frame construction

The strong, closed design of the frame allows all rotating parts, such as rollers, to be protected for long service life.

Optimum crop flow

Optimum crop flow due to an infinitely variable belt speed.

Optimum crop flow

Optimum crop flow due to an infinitely variable belt speed.

• Quantum principle: An additional, upstream infeed belt is fitted in front of the conveying belt of the store loader. The special design enables a constantly low drop step for the crop, independent of the swivel- and transfer angle of the store loader.
• Gentle conveying by means of a trough-shaped belt, which thus simultaneously serves as an "active running side wall" (no frictional differential speed between crop and frame components).
• Optimum dragging effect via crop- and belt-saving flights on the conveyor belt.
• Optimum crop flow due to infinitely variable belt speed
• "Non-slip" pulled belt drive
• Gooseneck at head end ensures minimum transfer height
• Optimal adaption via infinitely speed adjustment
• Comfortable operation via standard swivelling limit
• Closed and strong frame construction ensures long lifetime
• Manoeuvrable and compact with maximum wheel overhang
• Flow Control and mechanical coupling to connect machines at the intake side as standard
• Comfortable operation via control box GBX
