Organised by the German Agricultural Society, the EuroTier Expo in Hanover is one of the largest international platforms for innovations in machinery and equipment for the livestock sector. This year, a record 300 submissions by 182 exhibitors from 23 countries were received for the EuroTier innovation awards. Strautmann won a silver medal for the Double Cut feeder on its Vertimix Fast Cut feeder mixer series, which combines the advantages of block cutting and chopping.
The silage is cut out from the silo with a cutter unit that’s ‘gentle’ to the silage structure and conveyed to the elevator belt without mechanical stress via a blunt conveyor roller fitted with auger segments. Loose bulk materials can be picked up directly with the conveyor roller by lowering the cutter unit to floor level.
