Crimping - for successful farming

Why is crimping profitable?

• Noneedforsilosordryers• Ittakesjustoneoperationto

crimpandpreservethegrain• Quickandeasy• Yourgrainpreservationsystem

givesoptimumproductivity

• Nodryingcosts• Lowerlabourcosts• Appetisingfeed• Lessreliantonweather• Longerthreshingperiod• Upto30%largergrainharvest

Financial gain from crimping!

By crimping into a plastic tube... Tube crimping is the modern alternative!

“ Visibly more appetising feed. The preservation rate is 100% and the tube is much easier to unpack than I expected ” Esko Viitala, Jalasjärvi, Finland

“ Keeps well and is easy to unpack” Kari Metso, Anjalankoskii, Finland

“ The ultimate grain crimping method. It’s easy to remove from the sack with a narrow bucket ” Ari Härmä, Liminkai, Finland

“ Excellent feed for pigs, distributed by liquid feeder. Crimping into a tube suits us well ” Teuvo Tikkanen, Nivalai, Finland

“ Dust-free, good feed at a reasonable cost” Vesa Pasanen, Kiuruvesii, Finland

“ The system works efficiently, and there’s no need for silo structures. Appetising feed ” Jari Laukkonen, Kortesjärvi, Finland

“ Cost-effective, good feed. No need to invest in silos, harvesting is quick with a long harvest period. The mix feeder distributes the feed automatically“ Jukka Rahja, Kalajoki

Tube composting – inexpensive and quickTube composting is an environmentally friendly way to transform manure into nut-ritious full soil. Air exchange by ventilators and the heating effect of black plastic foil will intensifycomposting in the tube. The mass is reduced by about one third and it becomes hygienic, homogenous and inodorous.

Why to compost in a tube?In tube composting an insulated floor or drain basin are not needed. By tube composting, handling of waste is simple and quick.

Tube composting is suitable, for instance, for composting of horse or chicken manure.MurskaBiopacker has a wide packing channel and heavy duty packing worms and thus stones, pieces of wood and other things do not disturb the packing process.

Effective compostingScrew packers • Diameter 570 mm • Material 8 mm wear resistant steel

Hydraulically operated • Funnel can be lifted and lowered, which helps in keeping the machine clean• Control brake for packing density • Base of the tube• Hydraulic brakes

Air suspended platformCapacity requirement 85 kW

MurskaBiopacker -equipment, plastics and consultations

• Nice to fit and relase• Heavy duty - needs less • Safe• Lasts from father to son

By using the twin wheels the harmful compaction of soil may be reduced and thus the crop-production capacity of the soil may be improved.
