TERRA FELIS 3 evoTHE BEST IN ITS CLASS

The Terra Felis 3 evo is the most modern beet cleaner loader in the world. The Terra Felis has already proven itself internationally for 10 years, and has since been setting standards in gentle and efficient beet-loading – as the pick-up that has been developed and patented by HOLMER proves.

 

HOLMER DynaFill for the automatic loading of trucks, the largest cab or the fastest automatic folding system – the Terra Felis 3 evo offers the utmost comfort. The cleaning concept can be individually customised and offers solutions for all conditions. 9.72 m (31.8 ft) pick-up width, 15.00 m (49.2 ft) transfer loading range and intelligent counterweight balancing the overall concept.

 

 

 

 

 

PICK-UPS BE CONSIDERATE.

Different conditions, different settings: With the patented HOLMER pick-up, the cleaning path, and thus the cleaning intensity, can be adjusted individually at the push of a button. For this purpose, the rotational speeds of finger and transfer rollers, as well as distribution and gathering rollers, can be adjusted steplessly. 

Higher speeds on the distribution rollers first convey the beets on the cleaning table to the outside. This almost doubles the cleaning distance compared to the gentle setting.

 

Cleaning without compromise, because it is only the beet that matters:

  • A total of 18 wear-resistant rollers with automatic reversing function – for perfect cleaning
  • As a standard, all cleaning rollers have up to a fourfold hard welds, as well as  3-ply special reinforcement on the coils of the gathering rollers – for lowest wear and maximum durability
  • Proven variable cleaning distance through 3 independently adjustable roller types (finger and transfer rollers, distribution rollers and gathering rollers) – for uncompromising beet protection at maximum loading capacity
  • Large roller diameter of 140 mm (5.5 in) and 20 mm (0.79 in) coil diameter; 17 spiral windings per roller – for reduced wear without sticking
  • Gathering roller drum with constant diameter and integrated bearing; carbide plate at the end of the coils – for reduced resistance of the beets during transfer to the in-feed conveyor, reduced breakage loss and maximum wear protection
  • 9.72 m (31.8 ft) pick-up width (inside) – for flexibility in all operations
  • Low speed with high loading efficiency – for lower fuel consumption
  • Stepless speed monitoring of the drives including automatic and manual reversing of all rollers – for unobstructed work
  • Pointed tip with replaceable tip and two-piece hood – for easy maintenance
  • Automatic residual beet pick-up including offset function and pendulum compensation on the pile clearer – for comfortable and straightforward residual beet pick-up
  • Optional water spray system up to 1200 l (317 gallons) (continuous operation, interval, in case of high hydraulic motor drive pressure, separate pre-selection of spraying and non-spraying intervals, switching right/left, filter) – for reliable loading and cleaning without compromises


High speed: The cleaning route is nearly doubled.
Gentle adjustment: Beets are carried directly to the middle belt.

The unique extension for the best pick-up of all times: With the newly-designed HOLMER VarioPick, both the cleaning efficiency and the working angle can be individually adjusted. If the crop is only lightly soiled, a low working angle ensures minimum fuel consumption through optimised, smooth pulling; in case of increased soiling, a higher working angle provides additional space for the removed soil and weeds. This consistently rules out any floating of the pick-up.

 

Perfect cleaning in any position with the HOLMER VarioPick:

  • Individually adjustable working angle – for fuel-saving and optimum cleaning
  • Adjustment of the pick-up angle from 17° to 22°– for additional space for the removed soil and weeds – to rule out  any floating of the pick-up
  • Agressive cleaning adjustment – for more than twice as much weed cleaning at the pickup
  • VaroPick and post-cleaner adjustable – for up to 92 % more weed cleaning

 

 

 

 

CLEAING BE SENSITIVE.

Cleaning path

In the Terra Felis, the sugar beet passes through various cleaning stations: First in the HOLMER VarioPick, followed by one of the four available post-cleaning options. 

The two stations are connected by the 900 mm (35.4 in)wide in-feed conveyor, which, thanks to the largest passageway on the market, guarantees powerful and gentle transport of the beets from the pick-up to post-cleaning. An ingenious drop step system ensures that the beets are gently transported from cleaning component to cleaning component.

 

We know what beets want:

  • 900 mm (35.4 in) wide in-feed conveyor – for unprecedented powerful and gentle beet transport
  • Resistant, soft PU drivers incl. dirt flaps on the waist belt – for high output and optimum beet protection
  • More output at a lower belt speed – for less wear and reduced breakage losses
  • Filter belt for cushioning the drop step from the in-feed conveyor – for up to 30% fewer beet breakages
  • Cleaning path flexibly adjustable from 24.40 m (80 ft) to max. 32.50 m (106.6 ft) – for adapting to the cleaning requirements
  • Automatic shut-off strategies for reversing the pick-up and post-cleaner – for unobstructed working and prevention of damage

 

Post-cleaning

Different soils, different cleaning: Always perfect cleaning with the perfectly cordinated HOLMER VarioPick, feed-in conveyor and post-cleaning versions, which are interconnected over a suspension component. HOLMER exclusively offers four different post-cleaners which can be easily replaced. The perfect combination of cleaning and beet protection is guaranteed for every type of soil.

 

Unique for self-propelled machines:

Four variants, tailored to your needs.

HOLMER Filter Belt Cleaner – for light soils

The beets are transported extremely gently. Only the slightly adherent soil drops over the 900 mm (35.4 in) wide filter belt. The cleaning causes the minimum of wear, making it extremely cost-effective.

 

 

HOLMER Cleaner – for medium to heavy soils

The gentle pinch roller cleaner increases cleaning performance – for intensive cleaning of practically all soils. Thanks to a low dropping height, the interaction with the filter belt minimises root breakage at the transfer point.

Trough-shaped arranged rollers with up to 4-seam hard weld arrangement – for lowest wear at maximum performance.

Optional with beet brake and water sprinkler system.

 

 

HOLMER CrossRoller flex – for stony or extremely heavy soils

Even large stones and extremely sticky soil are removed effortlessly: 3 specially sprung cross rollers separate the stones from the beet. In the case of stoneless beet, the cross rollers can be covered with a filter belt for optimum beet protection.

VarioCleaner – for changing conditions

The beets can be cleaned gently or intensively, according to your needs - for reduced breakage loss.

If small pieces of dirt enter, the pinch rollers can be partially and steplessly covered by a filter belt. Therefore, the HOLMER VarioCleaner is the intelligent complete solution for a wide range of requirements - from heavy and light soil to tall weeds.

The filter belt can be adjusted steplessly during the loading operation, thus adapting the cleaning intensity – for flexible settings during loading.

Aggressive setting results in an average 15 % increase in weed cleaning compared to the

gentle setting.

Optional with beet brake and water sprinkler system.

 

 

Transfer loading WORK PRECISELY.

Difficult-to-access loading areas, long distances to be bridged, considerably varying loading heights: With a transfer loading range of up to 15.00 m (49.3 ft) and a transfer loading height of more than 6 m (20 ft), a transfer loading angle of 332° can be covered by two hydraulic rotating rings. In the height-adjustable cab, the driver always has everything in view. 

 

Because we want to know what's inside:

  • Transfer loading arm with 15.00 m (49.2 ft) transfer loading range – to bridge trenches
  • Transfer loading arm with over 6 m (20ft) transfer loading height – for bridging embankments
  • Transfer loading arm swivels by 332° – for maximum flexibility
  • Lightweight construction with high-strength PE wear plates – for wear and cost reduction
