PÖTTINGER protects your loader wagon with our patented individual knife protection system. Foreign objects are a danger to the rotor and chopping system plus downtime can be expensive and reduce the quality of the forage.
The triggering force is adapted to the high throughput capacity. The knives are held in the correct position to make sure that they chop consistently.
The knife retention springs and rollers on the individual knife protection system are swung safely out of the way. This greatly reduces the contamination of the knife holders.
1 Foreign objects trigger the protection system. The knife moves in the direction of crop flow.
2 The trigger roller is lifted out of its holder behind the knife.
3 The resistance of the knife is suddenly reduced so that the knife can allow the foreign object to pass through. The sharpness of the knife is retained.
4 The knife is automatically brought back into the working position.
Any stones in the forage are not pulverised. The cattle leave them in the trough so that injuries to the digestive system are avoided.
