Autospire PERFORMANCE

Detailed Description

Desciption-detaillee

Optimising feed costs and mechanisation costs are the main drivers of profitability on the farm. Lucas G has created a reliable, modern and efficient machine in line with precision breeding. From silo to trough to milk and meat, this succession of equally important steps must be measured and controlled to achieve precise and profitable production targets. These self-propelled machines are suitable for intensive use and have superior sound insulation for long journeys.

Option-4-roues-directrices

The Autospire has a high ground clearance and can be equipped with 4-wheel drive and 4-wheel steering in order to be able to handle all groups of animals, regardless of the location of the buildings, the climatic conditions and the state of the farmyard.

HIGH PERFORMANCE AND ADAPTED SILAGE UNLOADING

The loading stage is a critical when preparing mixture. The output rate of the mill must be sufficient and the quality of the raw material preserved.The mill Ø625 mm is is fitted with 54 curved and reversible sections (5.5 mm thick mounted 2 by 2) and has a working width of 2 m to ensure that all types of feed can be unloaded.

A UNIQUE MILL SHAPE

The shape of the mill, coil design and position of cutting sections have been studied for better unloading and to reduce the negative effects of recycling (time wasting and shelling). The shape and angle of the coil means that the feed material is gathered, recentred and placed in the middle of the conveyor for increased output. The sections are placed behind the coil to cut the produce without upsetting the loading flow.

ADJUSTABLE MILL SET UP

Depending on the material loaded, the operator can change the speed of the mill as well as the speed of the loading conveyor with a single touch of the screen via the XPA Display terminal. This function allows for the best possible handling of the different types of loaded products.

Our default settings:

- Concentrate speed: 50 % maximum. mill + 40 % max. conveyor
- Silage speed: 80 % maximum. mill + 80 % max. conveyor
- Fibre speed: 100 % maximum. mill + 100 % max. conveyor

HOMOGENEOUS QUALITY RATIONS

Material can move easier in a smooth rounded tank because it is not subjected to stress.As a result, the ration is mixed naturally and more effectively. The power required for a mix is reduced to a minimum. The smooth flared shape means that a homogeneous mixture can be obtained faster. The round design of the tank automatically extends the life of the tank.

A STEPPED AUGER TO ENSURE AN AERATED MIX

The Lucas G stepped augers have a unique form which means that the ration can be cut and ventilated by the steps which ensures the rations are blended properly for optimal proportioning.In standard, augers come with 6 knives. It is possible to have 8 or 10 knives for each augers, adjust the angle to increase aggresivity and thus cut the fibre faster. The auger knives are tungsten carbide coated and are reversible to increase the lifetime.To speed up the cutting process, the cut-off plates with programmed sequences are inversed to facilitate blocking the fibre at the bottom of the tank.

3 AUGERS SPEEDS TO ADAPT TO EACH PHASE IN THE MIXING PROCESS

The Autospires PERFORMANCE are fitted with a series of 3 auger rotation speeds in order to adapt to the different feed material and to ensure distribution speed remains constant. The augers are hydrostatically driven which ensures easy and comfortable use.

- Smoothing speed 1-10 rpm
- Smoothing speed 2-23 rpm
- Fibre speed and emptying 45 or 60 rpm

FEEDING IN ALL CONFIGURATIONS

The large size of the distribution conveyor and the unloading trap door, mean that any jamming linked to fibrous rations can be avoided and a regular swath can be given along the feeding table. The speed of the conveyor is adjustable to perfectly control distribution. Thanks to the conveyor located at the rear of the machine, the distribution (left or right) is made regardless of space configuration even in dead end feeding alley. To guarantee optimal distribution efficiency, the conveyor distribution height is 800 mm and it can be hydraulically offset by 375 mm from left to right to the feed troughs.

A ROAD MACHINE FOR LONG TOURS

The machines are equipped with heavy-duty tyres for optimum road holding and safety at 40 km/h. The front hydropneumatic suspension and rear parabolic blade suspension provide flexibility and driving comfort for the operator. Lucas G offers an ECOMODE system as standard on these machines. As soon as the machine exceeds 35 km/h, the system is automatically activated to set the engine speed at 1600 rpm instead of the original 2300 rpm, thus allowing a relative reduction in fuel consumption and a reduction in noise inside the cab.

TERMINAL XPA DISPLAY – All IN 1

With this unique control screen, you can have all necessary information to pilot the Autospire. Most parts of the machine can be programmed to help you during the different work stages: Mill speed and loading arm conveyor / Preparing the ration (repeater function) / Mixing speed / Distribution speed / 4 Cameras for working and driving. The screen gives in real-time a complete diagnostic of the machine. The periodicity of maintenance may be consulted directly on the screen (engine drain, filter change) to simplify needs of maintenance.

AUTOMOTIVE JOYSTICK PERFORMANCE

Piloting the machine is carried out by using a single lever with multifunctions to ensure the phases for unloading, mixing and distributing. This joystick includes the automotive technology The forward and reverse speed and also the engine speed are made by the tilting of the joystick, giving to the driver a better reactivity of the machine.

REPARTITION BOX

The machine has been designed with an optimally positioned motor to avoid pressure drops:

- Unladen weight, 55% front and 45% rear.
- Loaded, 45% forward and 55% front.

The engine is centrally located on the right side and directly powers the main operating parts of the machine. This positioning limits pressure losses and guarantees responsible and efficient use of the machine.
