New Dewulf GBC carrot harvester

Dewulf S.A., a specialist in potato and carrot harvesters, will present its new carrot harvester at Sima Expo in Paris.
The Dewulf GBC is a compact 1-row harvester with a hopper that offers its operator the necessary comfort, both during harvesting and during maintenance.

The GBC is a more compact version of the 1-row GBI harvester, which was already launched in 2000. Compared with its big sister, the GBC harvester will have a more compact hopper and a shorter base.

The GBC has slightly sloped gripping belts that ensure the carrots are gripped gently.

The belts can withstand high speeds and the direction of rotation can be changed.

The toppers and the gripping unit operate completely independently.

This ensures stability and perfect positioning of the topper in the soil. The gripping unit is fitted with depth control as standard.

Easy maintenance

The GBC stands out for its easy maintenance. The toppers in Dewulf harvesters are driven by gears mounted in a hermetically sealed housing.

The drive box is pre-lubricated and requires no further maintenance afterwards.

Unlike chain drive, the steel gears ensure that synchronization remains ideal year after year.

Rotating parts exposed to dust and moisture suffer considerable wear. That is why Dewulf has chosen to fit the blade bearings with a labyrinth seal, which keeps out fine dust.

To make maintenance easier, there are only four greasing points per set of blades. This lubrication and protection against unwanted elements ensure a long bearing life.

Maneuverability

The GBC is extremely maneuverable thanks to its compact dimensions and the drawbar mounted on a cylinder. In this way, the steering wheels ensure perfect positioning of the machine, even on the smallest plots.

The 3-tonne hopper is mounted on an ingenious parallelogram system, which is meant to limit the tilt of the hopper even during unloading.
