KRONE OptiMaize
- KRONE chopping technology for optimum maize forage quality
- OptiMaize S, M, L, XL for variable chopping lengths from 4 mm to 30 mm
- KRONE MaxFlow and Biogas drums with different blade specifications combine for producing the
chops length you need - KRONE OptiMaxx roller conditioners ensure optimum fracturing and kernel treatment
- KRONE VariLOC for flexible long and short chops without conversing the machine
OptiMaize brings full flexibility to all KRONE BiG X harvesters, allowing them to produce any type of chop length livestock farmers and Biogas producers call for. MaxFlow and Biogas drums are available with various numbers of blades and combine with matching KRONE conditioners to deliver perfect 4-30 mm (0.2"-1.2") chops and the most intensive treatment. The BiG X offers this wide range of chops without operators having to swap or refit the chopping drum – simply by reducing the cutting frequency with the help of VariLOC.
The Crop Flow
- Six intake rollers ensure a top-notch quality of chops
- High throughput with universal and biogas drums
- OptiMaxx roller conditioners for intensive kernel processing
- Flexible chop lengths through VariLOC and the use of only half the number of blades
- Continuous crop flow from VariStream
- Variable crop throw is an option using StreamControl
- Quick changeovers between corn and grass thanks to VariQuick
Its innovative technology makes the BiG X a superior chopper with respect to performance and quality. Chopping lenghts can be set to individual requirements by adjusting the speeds of the intake rollers and using different numbers of blades on the chopping drum. Highest through puts are implemented by the spring-loaded floor underneath the drum and a spring-loaded accelerator backplate which guarantee a continuous crop flow.
The intake system
- Hydraulic drive: The chop length is steplessly adjustable from the cab
- Automatic setting of the chop length via AutoScan or NIR sensor
- 6 pre-compression rollers for top-quality chops
- Perfect protection from foreign objects: Long path from the metal detector to the chopping drum and metal detection across the entire width of the channel
On a BiG X, it is also the intake system that has an influence on the quality of chop. The six intake rollers continuously press the chopped material with high pressure so that it can be chopped more easily and precisely. The hydraulic drive of the infeed elements allows manual or automatic adjustment of the cutting length.
The KRONE chopping assembly
- KRONE chopping drums with 20, 28, 36, 40 or 48 blades
- High inertia: enclosed 660 mm (2'2") diameter drums
- Bespoke 800 mm (2'7") wide drums for the BiG X 680, 780, 880 and 1180 models
- Extremely fuel-efficient courtesy of a high inertia and pulling cuts
Matching the drum dimensions to the forager model and choosing the optimum number of blades not only boosts machine power but also makes the forager more flexible to suit more applications. The wide range of OptiMaize drums that are available for BiG X deliver top-quality chops in versatile applications anywhere in the world.
