RESPIRO lifting instead of sweeping

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the evolution of rotary rake technology, which has been in use for over 50 years, and introduces the Respiro pick-up rake as a revolutionary alternative. Traditional rotary rakes face challenges such as impurities, losses, and unreliability in difficult conditions, which affect forage quality and animal health.

Challenges with Traditional Rotary Rakes

Impurities: Issues with dust, stones, and foreign objects contaminating the forage.
Losses: Leaf and crumble losses, fermentation losses, and increased machine wear.
Performance Deficits: Limited working speed, higher power requirements, and inflexibility in swath forming.
Animal Health Risks: Contaminated food leading to health issues in animals.

Respiro Technology Advantages

Clean Forage: Significant reduction in impurities, leading to better feed quality.
Minimal Losses: Reduced leaf losses and wear, improving protein content.
Versatility: Suitable for various conditions and crops, with flexible working width and direction.
Animal Health Benefits: Improved fodder quality enhances animal health and performance.

Economic Benefits

Higher added value in silos and livestock.
Reduced repair and harvest costs.
Increased protein content and milk yield.
Versatility in application across different crops and conditions.

Technical Features of Respiro

Elastic Pick-up: Ensures best ground hugging.
Small Diameter: Provides powerful and gentle operation.
Trailing Tine Geometry: Offers durability and gentle handling.
Camless Design: Maintenance-free operation.
Anti-loss System: Prevents loose tines.

Conclusion
The Respiro pick-up rake offers a modern solution to the limitations of traditional rotary rakes, providing cleaner forage, reduced losses, and improved economic and animal health outcomes. Its innovative design and technology make it a promising choice for future raking needs.

Sweeping machine versus Rotary rake after 50 years at the crossroads Respiro technology on the rise The established rotary rake technology has been on the market for over 50 years. The challenges of the practice and the higher quality awareness of farmers are increasingly putting this technology under pressure: The path to the future calls for a fundamental rethinking from sweeping to lifting. Respiro pick-up rakes are revolutionary in their characteristics. The elastic, camless small-diameter pick-up in combination with the trailing tines and the conveyor rotor delivers outstanding results:...

the new dimension of value creation For the farmer: ✔ Less feed contamination + better fermentation quality and higher feed intake + less crude ash, more energy, more protein, more milk yield + best forage quality ensures animal health, less veterinary costs ✔ Less raking losses + more crop per ha / acre + less crumble losses results in more performance from the basic feed + no leftover rotten grass Clean basic forage = more energy crop yield: 7,500kg DM / ha & year (DM = dry matter) less dirt, for example: 12 g raw ash / kg DM = 0.12 MJ NEL / kg DM more energy More milk money*) 10.000 Euro /...
