The new BunkerMaus 6

With a significantly larger cabin and a premium-class networked workplace

The new ROPA BunkerMaus 6 is more than the fusion of the visionary developments of the Tiger 6S and Panther 2S with the proven, robust and durable components of the BunkerMaus 5. The new premium model from the technology leader in the beet loading and harvesting combines field-proven technical solutions with the modern design.

The most up-to-date and efficient in the beet harvesting!

The BunkerMaus 6 has the largest cabin compared to other sugar beet loaders in the market. It now offers more room also for a foldable passenger seat, e.g. for a supervisor or for coordination in case of a driver change.

Bunker pickup system

The ROPA BunkerMaus 6 has a load capacity of 12 m³, which is carried forward over support wheels. Conveyors in the bunker transport the sugar beets to the cleaning elements. The main cleaning process is performed by the nap rollers in the beet bunker.

Recleaning

TOP TRUCK LOADING PERFORMANCE - GENTLE RECLEANING

Sieve conveyor recleaner

900 mm wide sieve conveyor, 40 mm pitch, stepless speed adjustment (0-3 m/sec), automatic detection of blockages.

Pinch roller recleaner (optional)

8 counter-rotating pinch rollers with hard coating, adjustable beet brake to regulate the cleaning intensity, stepless speed adjustment, automatic reversal in case of blockages, rollers identical in construction to pickup pinch rollers.

Stone remover (optional)

Sieve conveyor followed by roller cleaner, 10 PU cleaning rollers + 2 stone remover rollers, variable speed adjustment for cleaning rollers, variable adjustment of speed and direction of rotation for sprung stone remover rollers.

Premium class driver's seat

Height-adjustable cabin with panoramic view

A pleasant and user-friendly interior of the new cabin in combination with the excellent sound insulation guarantees the most comfortable operation. Digital DAB radio with Bluetooth and hands-free set are installed as standard. (Illustration shows Maus 6)

New computers, joysticks and two 12.1-inch displays for even more intuitive and user-friendly operation

The driver's rotating seat with integrated seat ventilation and seat heating is the visual manifestation of leadership in technology and the breakthrough into a new era of networking in the harvest loading. Improved ergonomics thanks to two new joysticks with additional functions, a height-adjustable steering column and terminals perfectly positioned in line of sight. Additional operating terminals for beet logistics can be installed next to the ROPA terminals at an optimum viewing angle. (Illustrations show Maus 6)

Storage space

The integrated storage space in the rear wall of the cabin has also been significantly increased. The new cabin has a lot of practical drawers and, for the first time, a cooling box and an additional shelf (for snacks or sandwiches).

Integrated weighing system

Weighing system with CAN bus weighing cells

ROPA has also completely redesigned the belt scale system. By completely rebuilding the mechanics, a weighing frame was integrated into the truck conveyor articulation part. Thanks to two CAN bus weighing cells, the wiring on the truck conveyor can be significantly reduced and the computer unit can be relocated to the safe central electrics cabinet. It increases operational safety and provides even more accurate weighing results.

Compact on the road

Preparation without leaving the cabin

On roads, the complete BunkerMauss 6 folds in automatically to a road width of3.00 mand a total length of 14.97 m. The large wheel base of 5.5 m combined with two hydraulically sprung additional axles guarantees safe handling of the heavy loader combined with top driving comfort even at speeds up to 40 km/h.

Main steering switch

The new intelligent main steering switch activates automatic mid-positioning of the rear axle

High-resolution digital cameras as standard

The Maus 6 has high-resolution digital cameras as standard. The image quality of the digital cameras is significantly better, and an additional Ethernet network is integrated into the machine to handle the resulting greatly increased volumes of data. The Maus 6 now comes with a central mark camera and a rear view camera as standard. The additional cameras on the truck conveyor and the recleaner, as well as the new R-View with the back run camera and two additional side cameras for rear area monitoring, can be ordered optionally.

Engine and hydraulics

Mercedes-Benz engine OM 936 LA

The extremely economical Mercedes Benz OM 936 LA engine of 260 kW / 354 hp with 7.7 l volume capacity, 2-stage turbocharging, 1,450 Nm max. torque at 1,200 - 1,600 rpm (exhaust gas category EU V) is integrated in the most efficient drive concept. It is automatically driven at reduced engine rpm during loading, while at the same time preserving enough power for extreme conditions.

The Mercedes-Benz OM936 engine is driven at strongly reduced engine rpm during loading (possible from 1,150 rpm), while enough power is preserved for extreme conditions.

Quick and easy diagnostics

All components are conveniently and safely accessible. The fully integrated in the R-Touch display diagnosis system enables fast and optimal service.

Machine construction in perfection

Service-friendly and easy to maintain

The main frame consists of laser-welded, angled profile tubes made of 700 fine grained steel and offers very high stability. All components are functional, transparent and maintenance-friendly. A new design of the entire electrical system and optimised hydraulic system for increased operational safety and ease of service.

The various detailed solutions, e.g. neatly arranged and optimally accessible central electrics, reversible and swung up cooling fan, easy-to-maintain air filter, fuel filter monitoring, fuel prefilter with heating etc. contribute to the highest possible performance at the lowest maintenance need.
Electronic data recording, fuel consumption gauging, air-conditioning, rear view camera and central lubricating system are part of very comprehensive standard equipment of the ROPA BunkerMaus 6. An optional toolbox made of V2A at the rear provides additional generous storage space.
