Bio Hopper Compact
The Bio Hopper Compact is a highly efficient crop rotation machine for removing all kinds of horticultural materials such as rockwool slabs, perlite, coco, tomato leaf and various crops (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, strawberries, soft fuits, etc.) in greenhouses. The machine rolls up the transport canvas on which the material is drawn to the machine. The material is elevated by a conveyor, and dumped into a buffer container or tipping container. When a buffer container is used, the material can be driven out with a foliage fork.
Fast and versatile
The Bio Hopper Compact is remote controlled and driven by a powerful 55kW stage V Hatz diesel engine combined with a sophisticated hydraulic system, which enables high working speeds. This machine is designed for speed and multifunctionality, which makes it particularly suitable for larger nurseries and contractors. The logistics involved in driving out of the waste form the limit for the overall working speed.
Cleanout without worries
This Bio Hopper is equipped with high quality safety features, whereby the rolling up of the transport mat is fully protected by the WSS system. Combined with the safety doors, emergency stops and double-channel safety circuit, this machine offers the highest level of safety without any loss of efficiency!
Tight, straight and fold-free fabric winding
The fabric is steered by swivelling the machine by its caterpillar drive. The high-torque winding unit is equipped with a fabric support on bearings, which considerably reduces the pulling power required. The in height-adjustable spreader tube smoothens out the wrinkles.
The Bio Hopper XL is an alternative for the Compact, which is externally driven by a tractor, forklift or wheel loader.
