Fast storage, gentle handling with the Falcon Receiving Hopper

The AVR receiving hoppers ensure your crop to be handled in a fast and effective, as well as a potato-friendly manner. The machine is available in several versions and with different roller variations, so that you can virtually custom-tailor your machine. The different possibilities for configuration and the numerous options, make it the ideal machine for middle to big potato (processing) companies.

Gentle and flexible bunker

Different models can be chosen for the reception hoppers. An articulation at the front or back of the bunker can be opted for. Furthermore, the bunker is equipped with a unique bunker floor (100% product-friendly) with an increased transportation effect.

Potato friendly bunker floor

The hopper floor is standard equipped with a horizontal nod after the inclining part. This helps to break the solid flow of the product and ensures a better distribution and a constant flow of the product to the cleaning rollers. Therefore having an even higher sieving/cleaning capacity of the roller unit.

The roller unit can be customized with extra cleaning options for each type of cleaning rollers, which help to keep the rollers clean and optimize cleaning capacity under tough conditions.

Python Conveyor

The AVR Python is the indispensable, flexible link in your crop handling line and is available in both a single belt and a twin belt version. This conveyor offers a high capacity and is extremely potato-friendly thanks to such features as the moving raised edges. Moreover, the AVR Python is easily transportable and very easy to operate.

Fast, product-friendly, flexible and easy to control: all of this makes the Python your ideal partner during the crop handling process.

Solid base and easy maneuverability

A typifying feature of the AVR conveyor is its stable and robust frame, which also offers a high degree of maneuverability.

Thanks to the independent height adjustment of the product intake and discharge outlets and the electronic length adjustment, the Python can be installed in every position on the line. Moreover, the twin conveyor has been designed to allow both belts to be positioned at all possible angles relative to each other.

A tandem construction with four casters and the rotatable main wheels allow the machine to be effortlessly transported by only one person.

Capacity combined with quality

The clever design of the conveyor belts with raised edges ensures that the product never comes into contact with the metal frame parts, thus guaranteeing an extremely gentle product flow. The combination of a fully adjustable transition between the first and second conveyor belt and a drum measuring no more than 160 mm in diameter ensures that drop heights are reduced to an absolute minimum. All of this results in an extremely product-friendly conveyor system.

In addition, the raised edges create a trough to accommodate the secure conveyance of large volumes. As the section at the center of this trough remains entirely flat, the Python also lends itself perfectly to the manual inspection of your crop.
