Kuhn has updated its range of self-propelled mixer wagon to include heavy-duty models with SPW INTENSE.

Available in 14, 16, 18, 19, 22, 25 and 27m3 capacities, the machines are fitted with a new 250hp Volvo PH5 engine with SCR emission controls, positioned at the rear of the machine to deliver better load transfer and ultimately, greater traction.

SPW INTENSE models are equipped with loading, desilting, weighing, mixing, and distribution functions. Up front, a 2-metre wide milling head is used rapid filling of the mixing tub, making lading fast and efficient, before two vertical augers ensure a regular flow and a homogeneous feed mix.

A front-facing cross conveyor belt discharges to either side of the machine, with the operator having excellent visibility of the whole process. For users with cramped buildings, rear unloading equipment and 4-wheel steering options are also available. As an optional extra, the mixing augers are available with K‑NOX technology, which increases service life and wear and tear resistance six-fold.

“The improved design features of the SPW INTENSE meets the needs of different types of users with the range catering for large and small operations,” says Andrew Johnson, KUHN New Zealand’s brand manager.

The engine positioning has provided an opportunity for the new VISOSPACE cab as standard, with the left side door and fully glazed windshield offering a panoramic view in all directions. A new CCI800 full-colour touchscreen terminal presents information relating to the operation of the machine, displayed via intuitive interfaces, paired with a single, multi-function joystick for smooth and comfortable driving.

The weighing system offers paperless data transfer to allow users to manage essential information, using the web interface or the smartphone app to also change feeding schedules remotely at any time, as well as accessing all reporting data.

Kuhn Connect connectivity functions allow MyKuhn portal allows users to keep track of the use of their machines, making it easier to find new ways to boost efficiency. The system also includes a digital, fully configurable maintenance dashboard displaying all maintenance information so that users receive a notification whenever a maintenance operation is required.
