Super-Vitesse CFS 3101, 3501 / Super-Vitesse CFS 3101 DO, 3501 DO 10.13
When picking up the material to be loaded, the
holding-down device and the advancing pulley
(1) press the material against the spring-loaded
tines of the pick-up. The distance set between
the holding-down device/pulley and the pick-up is
vital for proper picking-up of the material from the
swathe.
The length of the chains (2) determines the
distance between holding-down device/pulley
and pick-up:
large swathe = large distance between
holding-down device/pulley and pick-up
small swathe = small distance between
holding-down device/pulley and pick-up

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) conveys the
picked-up material into the outer parts of the
feeder rotor which are subject to less strain, thus
distributing the strain over the entire width of the
feeder rotor and the cutting unit.
Strippers (5) protrude into the gaps between the
conveying tines (6) of the feeder rotor thus
preventing the feeder rotor from becoming
clogged.
