New EVO Beet Eater 625

The Vervaet Beet Eater 625 EVO offers immense harvesting capacity. The well-proven and highly regarded Vervaet lifting system, combined with a massive cleaning area and 25 Ton capacity tank, provide the highest levels of output. Six wide tires spread the machine's weight evenly over the full working width ensuring soil compaction is minimized and the field is left level, even when working in less than ideal conditions.

The Combi 2 topper is capable of mulching beet tops between the rows for an extremely even spread and easy incorporation.  Flail speeds of up to 1200 RPM ensure tops are thoroughly pulverised. Scalper height and angle is adjustable from the cab.

The Vervaet lifting unit employs rotating walking shares which move independently, with each share making a circular motion in the ground so that one of each pair of shares is in the ground at any one time. Speed is adjustable from the cab, and at 700 RPM each share makes 23 lifting movements per second. Each lifting element is self-seeking to ensure very gentle and precise lifting.

Lifting depth is extremely accurately controlled by hydraulically driven steel depth wheels fitted as standard. Rubber paddles running between the shares ensure that no beet roll forward when harvesting in dry conditions.  Hydraulic row-width adjustment is also standard equipment.

Cleaning begins as soon as the beet leaves the ground, with the first two cleaning turbines removing 50% of the soil lifted so it doesn't get a chance to stick to the beet. The 625 has a phenomenal cleaning capacity, with a total of eight turbines, which allows for fast working speeds without compromising on cleaning quality. The system is also extremely gentle on the beet and has a wide range of adjustment to suit varying conditions. Turbine speed is steplessly adjusted from the cab and can be set to automatically vary proportionally according to the machine's forward speed. Various gates and turbine types are available.

The Beet Eater 625 EVO is powered by a 15.6L Mercedes-Benz Tier 4F engine which produces 623hp. This is mounted crossways at the rear, together with the hydraulic pumps, to give the best possible weight distribution and allow easy access for servicing. Running at just 12-1400rpm and combined with a load sensing hydraulic system it gives extremely frugal fuel consumption for cost-effective lifting.

The harvester is fitted with four 800/70 R38 tires at the front and two 900/60 R32 tires on a narrow rear axle which run between the front wheels to evenly spread the machine's weight over the full working width. The field surface is left level even when working in extreme conditions. When using automatic steering the four front wheels are controlled by share sensors, and the rear wheels controlled by sensors on the topper, so that the harvester is always perfectly inline with the rows.
