Vennings - Model 28 Ton 33 M³ -Galvanised Chaser Bin
Illustrated 25 Ton 30 M³ Chaser Bin with Roll Tarp and Hydraulic Folding Chute standard on all 25 Ton Chaser Bins Now 28 Ton 33 M³. The unit is standard with a 15" discharge auger, with a capacity of up to 5 tonne per minute with an optional 18" discharge auger available. The standard drive is setup for a 540 rev drive tractor with an option of 1000 rev drive or hydraulic drive if sufficient oil supply. The cleaning of this unit is simple, just pull the floor bar out from the back and the bin will clean out completely.
SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION ON INCREASED EFFICENCY BY OWNING A CHASER BIN
Stripping crops in the most efficient and time effective way is one of the main goals at harvest.
Some basic calculations reveal that stopping a harvester to unload the grain bin can potentially reduce harvest efficiency by 35 percent; in effect meaning harvest takes 35% longer than it needs to.
A common way to negate the lost time to stop and empty is to run a chaser bin.
Consider a harvester with a work rate of 40 tonnes per hour, a grain bin that can hold 9.5t and the harvester spends five minutes out of the crop each time the bin needs to be emptied. This means the harvester is spending 35% of the time out of the crop.
In this example the true harvester work rate is therefore reduced by 35% because it is only in the crop for 65% of the time.
Multiplied by the value of the grain being harvested ($200/t) and the percentage reduction in value of that grain after it is weather damaged (40%), the potential loss is therefore $1123/hour.
Of course there are events that would damage the crop completely, such as hail or fire, making the reduction in value of that grain $100%. In this case the loss would be $2800 for each hour spent harvesting due to the inefficiency from stopping to empty. But typically, weather-damaged grain is downgraded in value by about 40%.
Therefore, running a chaser bin would enable an extra $1123 worth of grain to be harvested during each hour of harvester operation.
