The SL 916 and SL 919 store loaders represent an advanced development with a wider 900 mm belt and optimized trough shape, delivering higher throughput or allowing lower belt speeds for improved crop protection. They are suitable for storing potatoes, onions, beet, celery, and other bulk goods.
With conveying lengths of up to 16.5 m (SL 916) and 19.5 m (SL 919), both models offer high flexibility. The optional Quantum feeding conveyor ensures a constantly low drop height, enables swivel angles up to 180°, and extends conveying length up to 17.7 m and 20.7 m respectively, improving crop flow and storage performance.
The large wheel overhang allows long, continuous operation with minimal repositioning, increasing efficiency during storage. This makes the machines ideal for high-capacity operations requiring consistent and gentle handling.
Advanced automation features include multiple store hall filling functions, from automatic swivelling between set limits to fully automated section filling. The Flow Control system enables easy management of the entire storage line, while an optional radio remote control provides convenient operation of key machine functions.
Highlights
The SL 916 / SL 919 store loaders offer comfortable and efficient operation via the IBX 200 ISOBUS control unit, with optional remote control and CCI 800 terminal for enhanced usability. This setup allows intuitive handling and flexible control of all key machine functions during storage operations.
They deliver high conveying capacity with excellent crop protection, using a trough-shaped belt with GRIMME flight profile and “walking side walls” to minimize friction. Crop- and belt-protecting flights ensure smooth conveying, while the Quantum principle maintains a consistently low infeed height, improving crop flow and reducing damage regardless of swivel angle.
Advanced automation is provided through the StoreMatic system, offering different levels of automatic store hall filling supported by sensors. Combined with the ISOBUS terminal, it enables fast and intuitive machine setup, including saving and recalling settings for efficient and consistent storage performance.
