The Holaras Hippo washer/slicer is designed for mounting on telehandlers, as it packs an unladen weight of two tonnes, and typically will handle a load of the same weight in each bucketful.
The design centres on a hydraulically driven drum with a tubular cleaning screen around the periphery.
With the outer screen open beet is scooped into the drum and the screen closed. The drum is rotated to clean away loose dirt or stones from the beets then the whole attachment is dropped into a water reservoir to clean the product.
Once cleaned the outer screen is rotated in the other direction to expose the crop to a knife system that slices the product to around 5cm in length.
The machine is fully reversible and can also be specified with an optional remote control system to aid ease of use.
