2018 Kverneland Feeders 864

The Kverneland 864 has grown its dimensions in all aspects with a massive 4.2m chamber size. It handles 2.1m diameter round bales and its longer body design provides even better support and stability for large square bales.

With a completely redesigned drum and flywheel configuration, it offers significantly higher through put and impressive blowing distances of up to 25m.

Features may include:

• 4.2m chamber.

• Blowing distance up to 25m.

• Choice of 3-stage swivelling chute or side chute.

• Drum Feed Control System - Blockage-free design.

• Optimised drum, flywheel and chamber design for maximum capacity and throughput.

• Integrated stone trap.

• Unique drum-knife configuration to handle a wide variety of materials.

• Two speed gearbox for reduced flywheel speed when discharging feed materials

• The swivelling chute operates in 3 stages to optimize the blowing distance for bedding

• Blowing distance up to 25m.

• Designed with a turning radius of 260 which enables easy access to even difficult reachable spaces.

• The 3-stage movement enhance the feeding perfomance without blockage even on long fibrous material

• The Drum Feed Control System (DFCS) is an exclusive feature (patent pending), designed to handle even the most difficult material when feeding.

• It is a simple and reliable system, which includes a powerful electric cylinder and a comb positioned above the drum.

• During loading DFCS is engaged, which means that the comb is in a lowered position.

• This ensures that blockages of the flywheel is minimized during the loading and start up process.

• Once the flywheel speed is at a sufficient level, all you need to do is to push a button and the DFCS fingers will be gradually disengaged and open for full flow through the flywheel resulting in

• perfect flow.

• The progressive release of the fingers offers a more gentle start, protecting the machine and minimizing the risk of blockages.

• A reliable and simple system with minimum maintenance

• The Kverneland 864 features a unique drum knife configuration.

• Knives are mounted on angled rings so that they pass a fixed comb on alternative sides.

• This ensures that materials are cut and fed into the flywheel chamber evenly, reducing the risk of blockage, offering even discharge & leaving the drum and comb clean.

• The drum is fitted with 14 blades as standard, but will accept a further 28 blades according to material type simply bolt them on in a matter of minutes.

• A patented system - the knives pass the fixed comb on alternative sides for a more even cut

• To provide the correct flywheel speed for bedding and feeding the Kverneland 864 is fitted with a two speed gearbox.

• At lower speeds the flywheel ensures a metered flow of silage or hay for feeding.

• At high speed a powerful blow for the most efficient distribution during bedding is ensured.

• The gearbox speed is adjusted via the handle on the front of the machine
