2021 Grimme PowerCombi

With the launch of the PowerCombi, it is possible to use a receiving hopper with three highly efficient separation mechanisms to not only increase separation accuracy, but also to increase capacity up to 100 tonnes per hour. Up to 25% more efficient than the common systems. The first separator is comprised of adjustable rollers made out of highly durable polyurethan, which helps to separate loose soil, breaks up lumps of soil as well as separating smaller potatoes. The second separator is made of two specially designed rotating rollers, to aid further with separating smaller potatoes from the main crop. Oversized potatoes and other remaining impurities then pass through to the third separating device. An optical high performance separator, called TOMRA 3A. Clods, stones and foreign material are sorted out by means of ejection fingers. Due to the high and exact separation, operating at up to 98% efficiency, far less staff are required to check for waste/bad crop and therefore this allows for considerably lower labour costs. The PowerCombi can easily be operated by a sole person.

Mechanical separation of loose soil, breaking up lumps of soil as well as pre-grading of smaller potatoes and cluds by use of GRIMME spiral rollers, made of polyurethane.

Far less staff are required to check for waste products and therefore this allows for considerably lower labour costs.

Features may include:

• 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.

• The deep, soft bunker bags ensure a gentle crop handling and even unloading.

• 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.

• The sturdy bunker floor chain ensures a long service life and minimal maintenance.

• The infinitely adjustable hopper floor speed enables an optimum crop flow

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

• Precise separation performance of up to 98 %

• Conveniently operated by one person, thus labour costs can be significantly reduced

• Excellent emptying due to deep bags with active sealing

• Optimum crop flow due to infinitely variable hopper floor speed

• Gentle crop discharge from the hopper floor onto the spiral coils

• Efficient and particularly gentle soil cleaning resp. pre-grading through infinitely variable speed adjustment of the PU spiral rollers.

• Ergonomically designed control platform

• Comfortable operation via operator terminal, type VC 50

• Throughput up to 100 tons per hour

• Gentle intake due to soft bags

• Durable due to large exterior rollers of the hopper floor chain
