Rotex 450 Vicon Rotex 450 Specifications & Technical Data (2008—2020)

Geared for Top Performance

The Rotex series offers a ground clearance of more than 70cm when the pick-up is raised. The hydraulically articulated drawbar allows the tractor to climb steep clamps, while the cab-mounted terminal offers operators convenient and safe drawbar control. The Rotex series is available with two different drawbar executions. The pin-hitch drawbar is standard fitted onto the Rotex models, offering generous clearance when collecting huge swaths. High drawbar is optionally available. The bottom-mounted drawbar puts more load on the front axles and is able to cope with higher loads.

Powerful Pick-Up for Maximum Capacity

The pick-up unit is a key feature on the Rotex models and without cam tracks, the intake system is virtually a maintenance-free design. The uncontrolled pick-up unit gives less wear compared to a pick-up with cam track steering.

V-Shaped Tine Arrangement

The 2.00m and 2.30m wide pick-up with galvanised scrapers offers high performance with fast and efficient crop transport. Six tine bars with a tine spacing of 55mm give high performance while encouraging fast and efficient crop flow into the chamber. With a total of 96/90 pick-up tines arranged in a special V-shaped pattern every haulm even from the largest swaths is raked up. The TwinMax intake system uses staggered tines on the pick-up, operating with a roller crop press, to deliver a uniform flow of material across the full width of the chopping rotor. This ensures a consistent, even flow without load peaks.

Smooth Operation with Low Wear

Thanks to uncontrolled tines there are no moving parts and no parts that need greasing. The result is smoother operation with less power requirements, low noise level and a maintenance-free system. The swivelling pick-up guide wheels are equipped with generous floatation tyres. This ensures accurate, close raking performance and guidance of the pick-up. The roller crop press pre-compresses the crop and helps to even out the flow of material. It provides a uniform flow of crop into the wagon, reducing the risk of blockages and allowing increased intake speed.

V-Max Rotor

The V-Max rotor offers a high capacity intake system for maximum throughput in all conditions. The special V-shape of the rotor ensures an even and fast flow of material across the entire rotor width, minimising peak loads and reducing power requirements. The V-Max rotor is utilising the full capacity of the rotor, ensuring continuous cutting performance.

Loading and Unloading

Rotex series boasts a frame that is made of robust C-profiled 220x100x8mm steel sections (closed on the outside) as well as strong stanchions and vertical steel sides. The vertical side plates move the material to the rear of the chamber, ensuring a full load. Deflector plates are installed in the front loading area to prevent material building up in this area. It is designed to optimize distribution of the crop throughout the entire width and height of the chamber. The hydraulic chain-and-slat conveyor is split into two segments and features four robust chains that handle even the heaviest material. The gearbox is positioned in the middle of the two segments, ensuring equal power distribution to both sides and torque split on two shafts instead of one. It is able to smoothly move massive amounts of crop to the rear of the chamber. The scraper floor automatically disengages when the chamber is full. Loading and unloading speed is infinitely adjustable and sensors warn via the control box when the chamber is full.

Fast and Efficient Unloading

Thanks to the automatic unloading function unloading is very easy. The speed of the chain-and-slat conveyor is infinitely adjustable to give an even layer of crops into the silo. Via the control terminal it is possible to choose between manually controlled or fully automatic unloading operation. With the Rotex 402, 452 and 552 we offer two large-diameter discharge rollers, which are driven by a maintenance-free driveshaft, to unload the material in a uniform and even mat, reducing the need for evening out the clamp afterwards. The sensor controlled tailgate is operated hydraulically. The tailgate is mechanically closed and is monitored through two sensors, showing the position on the control terminal. The opening angle can be set manually to ensure even unloading of material with the two discharge rollers. The interior lighting kit provides generous light into the chamber when working at night.

Strong Axles and Running Gear

The strong and stable tandem axles offer smooth operation and are designed for safe and fast transport of the crop to the silo clamp. The tandem axle is rated to a maximum loading of up to 21 tonnes (up to 16 tonnes for Rotex 452/450 and up to 14 tonnes for Rotex 402/400).

Simple and Efficient Set-up

The Rotor Wagon Models 402, 452 and 552 with discharge rollers can be fitted with a conveyor belt for daily grazing. With its simple set-up, it is easy to operate. The conveyor belt is connected to the rear wagon by a manual sliding system. With the ISOBUS Terminal, it is comfortable to operate from the cabin with individual speed and output adjustment during unloading.

Efficient Power Transmission

Power is evenly distributed throughout the Rotex 400, 450 and 550 via a heavy duty gearbox and driveline with a double wide-angle PTO and integral cam clutch – all capable of handling up to 1800Nm of torque. This means more output, and better power transmission to the chopping rotor. Central drive of the chain-and-slat floor conveyor provides a powerful, yet adjustable moving floor discharge system. Speeds can be controlled from the cab, up to a maximum of 12 metres/minute.
