Handling equipment - Conveyors | TC 813 / TC 816

Variable transport length up to 16.5 m, belt width 80 cm

The robust construction of the TC twin conveyors ensures a gentle crop transfer into storage. The combination of two 80 cm wide conveyors with 13.5 m or 16.5 m range convinces with its unique belt raising mechanism, called "airbag". This ensures a gentle crop transfer from the first onto the second conveyor belt. The optional available "SoftFlow" (specially designed soft rubber fingers), is able to reduce the strain on the crop by up to 30%. It ensures a gentle transfer from the second conveyor to downstream storage equipment. The optionally available hydraulic steering and the drive provide for positioning. The infinitely variable adaptation of the range makes it possible to shift the position of the store loader without having to move the storage line.

Benefits

Optimized feeding funnel of the hopper

The special design of feeding funnel avoids effectively that crop remains at the edges.

Easy, stepless height adjustment.

The ergonomically operable, reinforced support winches allow an easy, stepless height adjustment and adaptation to upstream and downstream conveying equipment.

Easily moveable

The chassis of the TC- and SC-series are designed in a way that the conveyors can be moved by one person. They are equipped with a smooth-running tandem wheel, which can optionally be combined with a hydraulic drive and a hydraulic steering system.

Optimal crop protection.

The unique belt lifting mechanism (called "airbag") of the GRIMME twin conveyors, TC series, allows maximum crop protection at the drop step from the first onto the second conveyor belt.

Perfect transfer

For a careful crop handling at the transfer points, all conveyor belts are connected to each other via mechanical couplings. In the same way the store loader is connected to the last conveyor.

Trough shaped conveyor

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

Manual operation

The hydraulic control block allows easy control of all functions of the TC and SC conveyors.

SoftFlow

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

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.

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 (20 - 65 m/min)

• Optimized feeding funnel of the hopper: Avoids remaining crop at the edge of the feeding funnel
• 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).
• Closed and strong frame construction ensures long lifetime, protects rollers or other turning parts
• The twin conveyors can be moved easily and conveniently by means of large wheels which are fitted to the discharge side of the conveyor. The wheels can be hydraulically driven (option).
• The standard tandem chassis with offset-fitted wheels on the intake side of the second conveyor enables an easy movement to both sides. As an option, the tandem chassis with offset-fitted wheels is also available for the intake side of the first conveyor.
• Height adjustable at both sides for an easy integration into the line via ergonomical operable support winches.
• Optimum crop flow due to an infinitely variable belt speed (20 - 65 m/min)
• Gentle crop transfer from the first to the second conveyor via the unique belt lifting system ("airbag")
• "Non-slip" pulled belt drive
• To reduce mechanical stress during transfer from one conveyor to the next, "SoftFlow", a transfer aid made of highly elastic and wear resistant polyurethane, is available. SoftFlow is able to reduce the strain up to 30 %.
