KRONE Big X - The OptiMaize System

KRONE's cutting-edge technology in maize forage processing is designed to maximize the quality of your maize forage. The OptiMaize System offers flexibility in chopping lengths and various components to ensure top-notch results. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

OptiMaize S, M, L, XL: These options provide variable chopping lengths ranging from 4 mm to 30 mm.

MaxFlow and Biogas Drums: These come with different blade specifications, allowing you to produce the chop length you need.

OptiMaxx Roller Conditioners: These ensure optimum fracturing and kernel treatment for superior quality.

VariLOC: Offers flexible long and short chop lengths without needing to change the machine.

The OptiMaize System empowers all KRONE BiG X harvesters to produce a wide range of chop lengths without the hassle of swapping or refitting the chopping drum. This is achieved by reducing the cutting frequency with the VariLOC feature.

Intake System:

  • Equipped with 6 hydraulic intake rollers.
  • Speed is adjustable from the cab.

Chopping Drum:

  • Features MaxFlow chopping drums with 20, 28, or 36 blades.
  • Biogas chopping drum options with 40 and 48 blades.

VariStream:

  • Utilizes a spring-loaded floor underneath the chopping drum.
  • Features a spring-loaded accelerator backplate.
  • Ensures excellent chopping quality even with inconsistent crop flows.

VariQuick:

  • Enables quick changeovers between grass and corn/maize.
  • Convenient corn conditioner removal using a lowering mechanism.

OptiMaxx Roller Conditioners:

  • Available with 250 or 305 mm diameter and 710 mm width rollers.
  • Slanted teeth for perfect cracking.
  • Offers up to a 50% speed difference for optimum fracturing.

StreamControl:

  • Empowers you to adjust crop throw from the cab.
  • Precision filling of following trailers.
  • Reduces power when filling trailers running alongside.
  • Minimizes crop losses.

The innovative technology of the BiG X allows for customizable chop lengths by adjusting intake roller speeds and using different blade configurations on the chopping drum. The spring-loaded floor and accelerator backplate ensure a continuous crop flow.

The Intake System:

  • Features a hydraulic drive with stepless adjustment from the cab.
  • Equipped with 6 pre-compression rollers for high-quality chops.
  • Provides excellent protection from foreign objects through a full-width metal detector to the chopping drum.

The quality of chop is influenced by the intake system, with the 6 intake rollers on the BiG X consistently compressing the material at high pressure, making it easier and more precise to chop.

The Chopping Assembly:

  • Offers a choice of chopping drums with 20, 28, 36, 40, or 48 blades.
  • Includes high-inertia drums with enclosed 660 mm diameter.
  • Bespoke 800 mm wide drums available for specific BiG X models.
  • Ensures fuel efficiency through high inertia and pulling cuts.

Matching the drum dimensions to the forager model and selecting the right number of blades enhances machine power and adaptability for various applications worldwide.

The KRONE OptiMaxx Roller Conditioners:

  • Available in 250 or 305 mm diameters.
  • Features slanted teeth for perfect conditioning.
  • Convenient gap adjustment between the rollers from the cab.
  • Employs a strong spring assembly for consistent high pressure.
  • Offers maximum fracturing through an optional up to 50% speed difference.
  • Utilizes BusaCLAD-Special coating technology for extended service life.

The OptiMaxx 250/305 roller conditioners are designed to meet user demands for optimal digestibility by ensuring that every kernel is cracked effectively.

KRONE's commitment to innovation and quality in the OptiMaize System makes the BiG X a superior chopper, delivering outstanding performance and quality in forage processing.
