The cross conveyor belt is designed for power and strength. The pick-up places crop over the full width of the belt so it can transport the forage sideways to be deposited in a loose swath.
Thanks to the 62 cm deep cross conveyor belt and the 75 cm high rear wall, the MERGENTO works reliably even with high volumes of forage. Different height lugs across the belt ensure that the crop continues to be transported, even when driving along contours and merging bulky crops.
On the MERGENTO F ALPIN, the cross conveyor belt takes over the major part of transporting the crop. The forage only comes into contact with the tines of the pick-up for a short time. This has a huge advantage compared to rotary or comb rakes, because the crop goes through several movements without being dragged across the ground.
The result is a loose, airy swath. This means that the forage can be raked into a swath in good time and yet it can still dry in the wind.
The cross conveyor belt is designed for maximum service life. The belts are made of a fabric reinforced rubber. The crossbars on the belt surface are vulcanised for a permanent bond. A longitudinal web is also vulcanised on the inside. This runs in the guide grooves of the belt rollers and prevents the cross conveyor belt from off tracking.
The cross conveyor belt is positioned 77 mm lower than the pick-up transfer point. The forage then falls freely onto the conveyor belt. The following forage pushes the material on the belt to make use of its full width. This guarantees perfectly shaped swaths and reliable operation even when driving downhill.
The tension of the belt can be adjusted quickly and without the need for tools by rotating the hole matrix disc at the back.
For easy maintenance and cleaning, the cross conveyor belt can be unbolted.
A secure bolted connection over the entire belt width guarantees durability as well as making the belt easy to remove when required.
This makes it easy to clean the belt rollers if necessary.
