Castor G - Lucas G

Detailed Description

Descripton-detaillee Lucas G has built its reputation on its range of CASTOR silage feeders and straw blowers, which are renowned for their exceptional performance with all types of forage. These machines are capable of distributing and straw blending all types of material, regardless of the length of the strands and the percentage of humidity. True 3-in-1 tools, these machines ensure silage removal, distribution and strawbedding in record time. These machines are equipped as standard with a dual speed gearbox which allows precise distribution at low speed and powerful strawbedding up to 18 m at high speed.

Standard Specifications

Right lateral chute for feeding
Mechanical shredder Castor
Round silage unloading claw with 1 cylinder (45 – 53) with 2 cylinders (60 – 80)
One piece welded flywheel with two speed gearbox
Hydraulic barrier (Only on Castor 60 G)

Option: Mixing hopper

Option-tremier

The dry feed mixing hopper has a capacity of 500 L. This system allows concentrates to be incorporated and distributed at the same time as the silage.

Option: Castormix

Option-Castormix

A mixing net at the claw complements the claw to provide an additional function to the machine, Recycling. The recycling of the materials used allows the animals to be given a simple, mixed ration to avoid sorting between silage and fibre. Once the machine has been loaded via the desilting claw or a loader, the material is simply thrown into the mixing net to produce the mixed ration. The order of loading is important to achieve a homogeneous mix quickly, it is advisable to start by loading the fibre and then the silage.

ALL FODDER SHREDDER

Designed to process all kind of fodder even difficult ones (wet silage) it is fitted with 5 or 7 smooth discs and 48 knives which guarantee a clean cut of products. The paddles located between the discs bring the cut material to the turbine and avoid long strands to wrap around the shredder.

TWO-SPEED WELDED TURBINE

This piece has been designed in a single block. Equipped with 6 blowing paddles, the material is launched up to 18 m with lateral chute and 15 m with the Universal chute. The turbine is integrated in a blowing conduit of 33 cm that avoid jamming problems and provide a steady workin.

CHUTE CUT-OFF PLATE

Patented by Lucas G, this bevelled part is located at the outlet of the chute and ensures that the material exits without blockage. If a surplus of material is present at the level of the blade, the cut-off plate will remove it so that the following blade expels it. This system guarantees a sustained and homogeneous strawbedding even with glued straw. The cut-off plate promotes the suction effect for better strawbedding performance

ACCURATE SILAGE UNLOADING CLAW

In order to guarantee an optimal loading of the silo, the Castor G silage feeders are equipped with 3 complementary components. The silage unloading claw is reinforced by a tubular structure to ensure the effectiveness of the claw over time. Its rounded design fits perfectly into the shape of the box for a better seal. The heel of the box is designed for a perfect grip on the silo and is equipped with a wear blade for better durability. The U-shaped girder naturally reinforces the box, which thus keeps its shape during the unstacking phases.

BOLTED-ON BED CHAIN

Hydraulically controlled and has 9 mooving speeds from 0 to 20 m/min. The speed is set by the control, and the material is fed evenly to the shredder. It can be operated in forward or reverse. Designed with 8 mm marine chains with bolt-on bars, it is guided and driven hydraulically by nuts for better centering and resistance to bale weights.

270° SWIVELLING CHUTE

Hydraulically swivelling 270° chute located in the extension of the turbine and the straw flow to guarantee a spreading distance of 15 m on the right side and 13 m on the left side. Hydraulically adjustable chute cover to modulate the spreading distance from the cab. This system makes it possible to spread straw in a barn in a single pass.
