2.9 Cutting unit
The cutting unit (1) engages into the conveyor
duct (2). The cutting unit can be extended into
and retracted from the conveyor duct by means
of two double-acting hydraulic cylinders (3)
actuated via the control set:
•
for the elimination of blockages.
•
for the return of cutting knives evaded to
the rear to their original position,
•
for the removal and installation of cutting
knives.
The number of cutting knives (4) mounted in the
cutting unit determines the cutting length of the
loaded material. 44 cutting knives can be
mounted. The shortest theoretical cutting length
is then 35 mm.

Each individual cutting knife is able to evade foreign objects. If a cutting knife encounters a foreign
object, it will evade to the rear and remain in that position. This knife protection system protects the
cutting knives against damage.
In order to return the cutting knife to its working position, the cutting unit must be completely retracted
and extended once, which can be automatically carried out in conjunction with the Field Operator
(130) after lifting the pick-up at the end of the swathe.
2.10 Feeder rotor
The feeder rotor (1) interacts with the cutting unit
(2) and transports the material picked up by the
pick-up (3) through the conveyor duct into the
cargo space. The CFS drum (4) homogeneously
conveys the picked-up material to the feeder
rotor.
Strippers (5) protrude into the gaps between the
conveying tines (6) of the feeder rotor thus
preventing the feeder rotor from becoming
clogged.
