Dewulf on display at Potato Europe

Share this item

Dewulf will showcase an extensive range of machines from its full-line offering during the upcoming Potato Europe potato fair in Villers-Saint-Christophe in France. The potato specialist from Belgium will both demonstrate and exhibit its latest machines.

Among these machines is the new generation Enduro, the upgraded 4-row self-propelled sieving harvester.  The harvester will make its debut configured for a row distance of 4 x 90 cm. It is equipped with a newly designed ring elevator. The combination of larger bag volume, higher running speed and more product distribution increases capacity by around 50%. The external changes to the Generation 2 machine are characterised by a new look and feel, with fewer covers, a redesigned main frame, and a larger, anthracite-coloured fuel tank.

The machine at Potato Europe is equipped with an Easy-Clean cleaning module, which features a continuously adjustable inclination angle of between 0 and 12°, an advantage on sloping fields. Ground pressure is max. 1.8 kg/cm. The 2-part bunker  provides 12.3 m³. Finally, in its second generation, the machine remains extremely low threshold for drivers thanks to its ergonomics and tremendous ease of use in the cabin.

Dewulf completes the harvesting demonstrations with the 2-row self-propelled RA3060 harvester and a trailed RA2060, both at 2 x 90 cm row distance. These 2-row harvesters are equipped with one haulm roller, three sieving webs and an Easy-Clean cleaning unit. Since 1989, Dewulf has been manufacturing 2-row self-propelled harvesters on three wheels. With a 5th generation of this machine, the trailed RA2060 variant is equipped with an unloading-on-the-move bunker with a 10.7 m³ capacity. The R2060 also has the largest tyre size in its class, keeping ground pressure to an absolute minimum.

After harvesting 

Dewulf also displays its storage line, featuring an MH 242 receiving hopper with a Scotts Evolution cleaning unit as its main components. After the bunker floor, the machine is fitted with a presentation conveyor with variable belt speed, ensuring optimal dosing. The Scotts Evolution demonstrates product-friendly handling in both dry and the most challenging, wet conditions.

The receiving hopper is additionally equipped with eight PU rollers with Clean-Boost. These allow sorting from 5 to 70 mm in addition to the usual cleaning. To this end, a small, extendable or pull-out conveyor below the sorting unit is available as an option, for situations in which the PU rollers are used for additional cleaning. In that case, the excess waste falls onto the full width trash conveyor (FWT).

An ME 100 elevator conveyor (10 m long, 80 cm wide) removes excess soil after cleaning, while the potatoes are transferred to the trailers via an MC 1780 duo belt conveyor (17 m long, 80 cm wide) with Weight-Control and an ML 1980 store loader (19 m long, 80 cm wide). With the Premium filling function, this machine can fill a store fully automatically. Beyond that, use of the short, flat X-stream belt conveyor increases the processing capacity further, even over a 90° angle.

Storage and planting

Finally Dewulf will focus on planters, especially the new Certa 40 Integral. This all-in-one planting solution combines soil cultivation, planting, and ridging in a single pass. The Certa 40 Integral is available in both 4 x 75 cm and 4 x 90 cm variants and is operated through ISOBUS, encompassing both the controller and the software. The in-house designed system can be accompanied by a 12-inch Topcon touchscreen and joystick.

Also the Structural 30 will also be on display. In this case, Dewulf will showcase the mounted version of the belt planter, which can plant three rows in a bed as standard. This potato-friendly planting machine differentiates itself with automatic depth adjustment, achieved through an ultrasonic sensor. This ensures very precise planting, but also exact spacing needed for optimal growth.

Additionally, the ‘Wave Belt’ concept creates a wave-like belt bed that makes planting on sloping terrain easier and more effortless for the operator. The version on display is also equipped with Hill-Master, a solution for maintaining the optimal fill level of the belt bed when planting on slopes. Moreover, the Structural belt bed planting system combines extreme planting precision with a high driving speed (up to 12 km/h).

Within the domain of storage, the MB 34 plays a central role. Dewulf’s latest box filler is fully electrically powered and nods the filling conveyor into the box, keeping it nicely on the ground during filling. The energy-efficient MB 34 features two box stops that make it suitable for box lengths ranging from 120 to 260 cm. The product guidance flap contributes to symmetrical box filling, which in turn ensures optimal ventilation during the storage season. The box filler directly drives an ME 3-70 elevator conveyor, the infeed height of which is adjustable using a jack at the bottom.
