The conditioner versions
Quality is as important as efficiency. To ensure the crop dries rapidly and uniformly, it is recommended to use a conditioner, which rubs off the natural wax skin for the moisture to evaporate faster. KRONE offers a choice of three conditioner versions. The CV conditioner features V-tines made from steel and offers two speeds (700rpm and 1,000rpm) whereas the CRi roller conditioner comes either with two profiled polyurethane rollers or with steel rollers to treat vulnerable and broad-leaved crops, such as legumes.
The CV conditioner for 9.7m working widths: The V-type steel tines on the 66cm diameter rotor feed the crop past a baffle plate to provide intensive conditioning. The operator sets the rotor speed conveniently on the gearbox to 700rpm or 1,000rpm and adjusts the baffle plate steplessly.
The CRi conditioner for 9.0m working widths: These polyurethane rollers are the preferred option when cutting leafy crops such as lucerne and clover. The chevron profiled rotors are 25cm in diameter and provide gentle crop treatment. Both rollers are gearbox driven.
The CRi conditioner for 9.0m working widths: The steel rotor suggests maximum service life. Crushing and splicing the stems actively, it achieves best results in stalky crops.
The CM conditioner for 9.0m working widths: A flail topper is available as optional specification from our system partner Van Wamel B.V.. The unit will boost machine utilization and effectively fight the corn borer.
