The tangential feed flow is one of the key features of the PÖTTINGER IMPRESS. The forage is conveyed over the rotor and fed into the baling chamber at a tangent. This smooth, straight feed flow, without the forage being deflected, means that not only is the forage conserved, but also that less power is required while throughput capacity is increased.

Pick-up / Rotor

Perfect ground tracking thanks to 120 mm of freedom of movement on the IMPRESS pick-up. Thanks to cam track control of the 5 rows of tines, the pick-up can rotate more slowly so the forage is guided right up to the rotor. If there is contact with the ground, the tines sweep over the soil without digging in, so that less crude ash is absorbed.

The gentle guiding of the forage to the rotor combs out the material less to ensure better chopping quality. This gentle collection sequence also reduces disintegration and pick-up losses. The rotor reliably draws in the forage, pulling the material through the knives to produce the highest chopping quality. With the IMPRESS, the forage is carried by the rotor and is not pushed over the rotor base. Thanks to the tangential flow of the crop, it is easily absorbed into the circumference of the bale as it rotates. The rotor does not have to force it into the bale. This conserves the forage and protects the machine.

The shorter the chopped length, the more brittle the material, and the higher the risk of disintegration losses inside the baling chamber. Material can escape between the rollers and the belts. On the IMPRESS, however, this valuable material is collected at the front of the baling chamber, where it passes down a chute and back to the rotor to be fed into the flow of crop again. There is a removable floor plate to prevent the material from falling out from underneath. Especially on the variable chamber models, losses are now reduced to an absolute minimum.
