The high performance of the new Hortech vacuum aspirator

HOOVER XL is a machine for the suction of crop residues and leaves, designed by the Paduan company Hortech (the headquarters are in Agna) for fourth-range producers. Compared to the previous models HOOVER and HOOVER MAXI, the new product has a more effective suction system, which combines strong suction performance with great fuel-efficiency. The heart of the machine is a cutter bar positioned on electrohydraulic sensors, whose blade rotates on self-centring pulleys, covered with rubber to ensure greater durability. The cutter head offers the possibility to move on the opposite side - a solution recommended for operators who want to trim the product in the opposite direction compared to the previous cut. It is characterized by a driving position designed to ensure full control of the bar and the stabilizing wheels positioned beneath it. The height of the cut - specifies the manufacturer with a technical note - can be managed directly from the work position (the suction hood is also adjustable in height). Among the features of this model, we note the vacuum aspirator, which, equipped with a protective filter located inside the tank (with a capacity of 1000 litres), does not suck the product directly, but it sucks it inside the tank creating a vacuum which avoids possible occlusions and helps keep the device free from debris. Powered by a 50 horsepower Kubota engine (positioned longitudinally for ease of maintenance) the HOOVER XL is equipped with 4-wheel steering and stands out for its double advancing system that enables the use a pedal proportional distributor and setting a constant speed. Finally, the tank has an expanded gap and can be raised (up to 200 centimetres from the ground), or tipped, and has an opening to unload the plant residue.
