KATRINA chive slicer
The KATRINA chive slicer is an excellent choice for onion growers. The machine can also be used for cutting other vegetables, clearing vacant land or cutting grass in the orchard, etc. Due to its versatility, the machine can be mounted on the front or rear three-point linkage without changing the mechanical transmission or requiring unnecessary disassembly and installation of additional components. The design of the machine consists of a main frame, a three-point joint for the front and rear three-point joint, a bevel gear wheel, a belt drive, cutting heads with cutting knives, guards and three wheels with hydraulic cylinders with manual height control or automatic leveling.
The power requirement of the machine depends on the working width and is approximately 40 kW at the narrowest width and 70 kW at the widest width. The rotation speed of the cutting knives depends on the speed of the tractor power take-off:
• at a speed of the power take-off of 540 rpm, the speed of the cutting knives will be approximately 980 rpm,
• at a PTO speed of 750 rpm, the speed of the cutting knives will be approximately 1360 rpm
, • at a PTO speed of 1000 rpm, the speed of the cutting knives will be approximately 1800 rpm.
The basic option features hydraulic height adjustment for the right and left side of the machine using two inlet pipes and two outlet pipes – controlled by the tractor hydraulic system.
The optional mower is equipped with a control panel in the tractor cab, which offers two modes of operation: automatic mode, which automatically levels the machine during operation, and manual mode, where the height is controlled using up-down switches for the right and left sides.
Working widths available: 1250 mm, 1500 mm, 1800 mm, 2250 mm and 3000 mm.
