Silage cleaner-loader NawaRo-Maus

mounted

The ROPA NawaRo Maus significantly increases the efficiency of the logistics chain for biogas systems. The NawaRo Maus picks up chaff such as corn silage and wood chips from the clamp at the edge of the field and loads it into high-capacity trucks. The NawaRo-Maus can load 10 to 15 m³ per minute into trucks. The current pickup width is 8 m. A significant advantage of the design is the separation of the chaff chain in the field from the logistics on the road. In many cases the high capacity in harvesting silo maize is restricted by inadequate or unavailable transport resources for removal of the harvest. Particularly with large biogas systems with a high proportion of maize in the feed the transport of the chaff over long distances with agricultural equipment and soil-protection tyres is in many cases no longer economical. Equipment used for commercial biogas systems must also have a commercial permit according the traffic regulations. Trucks are generally the most economical means of transporting chaff over the road. However, they should not be loaded in the field and should certainly not be driven in the field beside the chaff cutter. The process for significantly greater efficiency With the implementation of the NawaRo-Maus concept ROPA has connected the missing link between effective and soil-protecting transport on the field and cost-efficient and high-performance transport logistics on the road using trucks. The chaff is removed with soil-protecting trailers or self-propelled machines (e.g. remodelled sugar beet harvester with Terra tyres) and laid in a pile at the edge of the field.
