SIPMA SR 1010 HEROS trailed forage harvester is designed for single phase harvesting of energy crops, mainly energy willow.
•Cutting unit equipped with hydraulic drive of saws allows to reach high rotational speed of cutting blades, which improves cutting down the sprouts of energy crops, leaving the optimum rootstock for regrowth of plants. The arm bending the plants is adjustable from the tractor cabin and it enables proper orientatation the shoots with different heights into the pull-in unit.
•Compressing and pull-in unit consists of 5 ribbed rollers. It enables to correctly place and feed the chopping rotor chamber with shoots of energy crops. Mechanical pressure and variable clearance between the rollers ensures optimum compression of cut shoots and reliable transportation of crops. Power take-off shafts that drive the pull-in rollers are equipped with safety couplings, which reduce excessive load on the machine. As the direction of rotation of pull-in rollers can be changed from the operator cab, any clogging can be removed from the machine without leaving the tractor.
•Chopping rotor which at the same time acts as a flywheel, is equipped with cutting blades. At the rim of the rotor there are blades mounted, which provide quick and effective feed of shredded material onto means of transport.
•Built-in blade sharpening system allows for easy-to-use and accurate sharpening of blades, providing even edges. During grinding, the rotor revolves with low speed and grinding wheel easily sharpens the blades, which quickly become sharp again.
