Sep 5, 2018Dewulf rolls out two new machines
During Potato Europe 2018, Dewulf will present two new machines. The first new offering is the recently announced Field Loader 240 and efficient transfer combi. The CP 22 Farmer, a light, mounted two-row cup planter for potato growers with smaller acreage will also be on display. Dewulf will also conduct numerous harvesting and planting demonstrations during the trade fair with the Miedema Structural 4000, the Kwatro, the RF3060 and the Torro. Dewulf will be located at stand GD69.
Field Loader 240
The Field Loader 240 is designed for for those who want to clean product efficiently in the field. This compact, stand-alone transfer combi combines a high cleaning capacity with ease of use and product-friendliness. With the Field Loader 240 is designed to drastically reduce the amount of soil and waste when transferring in the field. The machine is suitable for road transport, has a four-piece discharge elevator with an extremely wide swing radius, an inspection table and a built-in, super-silent diesel generator.
The bunker floor and the roller unit of the Field Loader 240, familiar from the MH receiving hoppers, ensure good product flow and provide the necessary cleaning. The 10 cleaning rollers provide a large cleaning capacity. Moreover, the integrated, widely pivoting waste conveyor is easy to fold out to the desired position. This makes it possible to discharge sieved-out soil or waste to a central location alongside the machine. The machine also has a wide, four-piece, product-friendly discharge elevator with an extremely wide pivot range of 120° (60 left + 60 right) and a long reach for filling the truck.
CP 22 Farmer
Dewulf said the new CP 22 Farmer, a mounted two-row cup planter, is a lighter, less expensive machine than the current CP 22. The new CP 22 Farmer is mainly intended for smaller row distances (61 -76 cm).
The company said this CP is the best choice for professional potato growers with small or specialized acreage who want to plant with exceptional reliability and precision. One of the cornerstones of its precision is the unique Miedema planting element found in each CP. Despite its small size, the mounted two-row planter has a 550 kilogram bunker. Moreover, the CP 22 Farmer only requires a light tractor, which also means less ground pressure during planting. The machine is very open and accessible, and is therefore very easy to maintain, according to the company.
