Harvesting & Technology
Non-jamming PR lifting unit with hydraulic stone protection
The PR2h lifting unit is equipped with counter-rotating oscillating shares and completely maintenance-free hydraulic stone protection. The 900 mm large depth-control wheels combined with the intelligent three-point suspension guarantee accurate depth control of the lifter. Maintenance costs are minimised with adjustable taper roller bearings in transmissions and the oscillating share drive.
Defoliator unit
PAS - leaf ejection
ROPA all-round defoliator with leaf ejection
The beet leaves are shredded and spread over the harvested area by a leaf scroll or leaf plate. A press of the button in the cabin switches the machine between topping modes. An optional leaf collection conveyor can be installed for harvesting beet leaves (biogas or dairy).
PAS - integral leaf-layer
ROPA all-round defoliator with integrated leaf storage
The beet leaves are shredded and deposited between the rows. A press of the button in the cabin switches the machine between topping modes.
PIS - ROPA integral defoliator
ROPA integral defoliator - standard model for normal harvesting conditions
Leaves from the beet crowns are mulched with robust defoliator knives and spread between the rows. Therefore, beet leaves with all their nutrients are evenly delivered to the soil -> an optimal condition for further soil cultivation as green waste transforms fast into humus.
Micro-Topper
The comb of the Micro-Topper follows each beet head, adjusting the trimming gap to the size of the head, so that the beet is cut not too much and returns maximum yield. The intensity of the cut can be easily adjusted from the cabin. You may choose between topping and "shaving off" leaves only (micro-topping).
Maximum revenue with no additional effort
Rubber-defoliator
The both fully hydraulic driven cleaning rotors can be adjusted in the rotation speed and height independently from the other – unique! Various settings can be stored and accessed on the joystick using a memory function. Each rotor shaft can be adjusted at the height independently from the other. As a result, the operator can react quickly and effectively to different requirements due to changing beet crops. Various settings can be stored and accessed on the joystick using a memory function.

Cleaning
Gentle, efficient and individually adjustable
The hydraulically tensioned sieve conveyor efficiently transports the beets to the first strainer wheel. The portal axis enable maximum throughput without slowing the beet flow or damaging the beets. The driver can steplessly adjust the sieve conveyor speed and reverse it if necessary from the cabin. The automatic beet flow monitor reliably prevent the machine from overflowing. Three sieving systems clean the beets extremely efficiently and then transport them to the next stage.
Stone removal and beet washing
A wet stone removal system using the extraction process with beet washing and sand removal is integrated into the bunker of the ROPA Tiger. With 6 m³ of water on board approximately 2 ha of beets can be harvested without stones before the tank has to be refilled.
Unloading conveyor
Extra-long unloading conveyor – faster bunker unloading
