The time has come! ROPA's traditional Open House will take place again this year.
Due to the current order situation and thus high workload as well as extensive construction activities at the site in Sittelsdorf, we have decided to hold the Open House 2024 at our ROPA Rhineland branch in Viersen-Boisheim.
As always, this Open House is expected to be an entertaining and riveting event for the agricultural sector. It includes technology show, practical demonstrations and a cosy party with the atmosphere of a folk festival.
Over seven hectares of sugar beet and three hectares of potatoes are prepared for the machine demonstration directly on site.
Several sugar beet harvesters, the loader ROPA Maus 6 and various potato harvesters, such as the new Keiler 2 RK22 with DoubleSelect will be demonstrated in action. Potato storage technology of all kinds will also be exhibited in practical use.
Similar to the Opening Event 2018, we are expecting around 5,000 spectators, assuming favourable weather conditions on this day.
On this afternoon, ROPA offers all participants an interesting range of activities including a site tour, machine exhibition, demonstrations, a specialised exhibition featuring technology companies and plant breeders and much more.
In addition to the demonstrations of technology, ROPA focuses on a cosy atmosphere. Visitors to the festive assembly buildings will have ample time to discuss ideas. The guests can enjoy culinary delicacies, coffee and cake as well as refreshments. To keep the "young farmers" busy, there will be an array of children's activities on offer with numerous attractions.
Schedule and timetable:
The event starts at 12 noon and the technical highlights will be presented at 1.30 pm.
The field show starts at 2.00 pm, all the machines will work in the field at the same time.
Review of ROPA Open House 2018
Open House 2018 at the ROPA location in Viersen-Boisheim
Potato and sugar beet harvesting at the same time in a field near the plant premises - this was the premiere at the demonstration and location opening of ROPA Rhineland. More than 5,000 enthusiastic visitors experienced the practical demonstration up-close in the field directly adjacent to the 2.5 ha premises of ROPA Rhineland. Several sugar beet harvesters, ROPA Maus 5 and various potato harvesters were working simultaneously in the field. A particular highlight was the plant premiere of the Keiler 2L 2-row potato harvester with 5.5 t overloading bunker. Non-stop harvesting with simultaneous overloading on a trailer driving alongside enables significantly increased performance.
In the bright sunshine, several thousand visitors accepted ROPA's invitation to Viersen-Boisheim. Many thanks to farmer Manfred Brasseler, who prepared his field directly adjacent to the plant gates of ROPA Rhineland and made it available to us. Due to the extremely dry conditions in 2018, the harvest was meager and the harvesting conditions extremely dry and dusty.
