AVR Scorpio
The AVR Scorpio crate filler completes the AVR crop handling range and reflects its identity by combining user-friendliness with capacity and gentleness in product handling.
POTATO-FRIENDLY
The moving main belt is composed of two elements, with an inflection point in the middle. As a result, the separate elements are longer than that of most other models on the market. This guarantees low drop heights while ensuring that the potatoes are gently guided into the crate via a gradient that is not too steep. The limited inclination renders a belt with a profile superfluous, while the simple addition of a scraper is enough to prevent the accumulation of dirt.
The main belt is driven on both sides by a drum motor for optimal and equal traction in both directions. This allows drum motors that are quite small in diameter to be used – which minimizes drop heights – while ensuring a large enough contact surface to prevent slipping.
Looking for even more protection? The rubber flaps on the
main belt curb the speed at which the flow of potatoes slides downwards.
Highlights
USER-FRIENDLY & PLEASANT TO USE
The crate filler is very easy to operate via the buttons on<br>the electrical control box and the intuitive 7” touchscreen.<br>Thanks to the fully electrical control system, the Scorpio is<br>energy-efficient and remarkably quiet, and can be operated<br>very smoothly.<br><br>Thanks to the various sensors – including the sensors that<br>determine the position of the belt and a laser sensor that<br>continuously monitors the product level in the crate – crates are automatically filled from the bottom to the top, with minimal drop heights during the entire process.
FLEXIBILITY
The Scorpio can fill crates in just about all conventional<br>dimensions. This is because the frame height and the crate position are adjustable. The indicator light allows the forklift<br>driver to easily see if the crate has been positioned correctly.
AVR LINE CONTROL
The installation of AVR Line Control software allows the Scorpio crate filler to communicate with all other AVR machines in the crop handling line.<br><br>The entire line comes to a halt, for example, when both crates are full, and will automatically restart as soon as an empty crate is put in position and the main belt has reached the bottom of the empty crate.
