Powerful grain thrower PZM-170

This is a self-propelled grain loader that rides and loads grain itself without the help of other machines or people.

During the operation of the grain thrower, the grain is fed to the conveyor using scraper feeders. The conveyor loads the grain into the trimmer, which throws it through a special guide tube. The trimmer with the pipe easily rotates 257 degrees. The process of changing the height or direction of flight of the grain takes 3 seconds.

Using the PZM-170 grain thrower, it is possible to fill warehouses of different volumes and heights, load grain directly under the tailgate.

The grain thrower PZM-170 can also be equipped with a hopper for loading from a car or another machine.

The productivity of the PZM-170 grain thrower is up to 170 tons per hour. Grain flight height up to 10 meters, and flight range up to 25 meters.

The main advantages of the powerful grain thrower PZM-170

• it’s a self-propelled car that drives and loads itself with grain without the help of other equipment or people;
• no manual labor for moving or loading the grain thrower;
• the grain flies up to a distance of 25 meters, and does not spill down like augers, belt, vacuum and frontal loaders;
• high productivity - up to 170 tons per hour;
• high loading height - up to 10 meters;
• grain sampling width of 6 meters, which is much larger than that of screw, belt, vacuum and frontal loaders;
• in the process of loading or transferring grain, its moisture and contamination decreases;
• minimum costs for loading grain - 0.1 kW of electricity per 1 ton;
• ergonomic, simple and reliable design;
• change of direction, range or height of grain loading in 3 seconds;
• easy operation and maintenance.

Grain thrower advantages versus auger-type loader

• Grain throwers drives on its own and loads itself with grain without other mechanisms or personnel assistance but auger has to be moved manually all along.

• Grain moving distance is limited by auger length, grain falls next to auger. Grain thrower can throw at a distance up to 25 meters

• Vehicle can stay put when loading with grain thrower unlike auger-type loader.

• Grain thrower withdrawal width is 6 meters, but auger’s is 10 times lower.

• Grain crushing degree is no more than 0,15% with thrower and is many times higher with auger.

• Rapid change of grain flight distance, height and direction within just 3 sec.

• Grain wetness and population of debris decreases when loading with thrower unlike auger-type loaders.

Grain thrower advantages versus pneumatic (vacuum) grain loaders:

• Grain thrower drives on its own and loads itself with grain without other mechanisms or personnel assistance but pneumatic loader and its parts has to be moved manually all along.

• Grain loading height is much higher with thrower.

• Grain crushing degree is no more than 0,1 % with thrower and is many times higher with vacuum loader.

• Vehicle can stay put when loading with grain thrower unlike vacuum loader.

• Grain thrower electricity consumption is just 0,1 kW for 1 ton of grain and vacuum loader consumes much more electricity.

• Depending on modification of grain thrower its performance is up to 170 tons per hour that makes it possible to upload grain much faster than front-end loader.

• Grain thrower withdrawal width is 6 meters, but pneumatic loader less than 10 times.

• The grain thrower can load grain under the roof of the warehouse, and the pneumatic loader cannot do this because it needs a place under the roof to position the funnel through which the grain is poured.

• Rapid change of grain flight distance, height and direction within just 3 sec.

• Grain thrower maintenance and support is much more cheaper than vacuum loader.

Grain thrower advantages versus front-end loader

• Front-end loader has to be moved together with grain all along and as a result higher risk of accident or injury to a worker. Grain thrower does not displace but just collects grain from the ground and throws it somewhere else or to the vehicle.

• Front-end thrower consumes expensive fuel and lubricants and there is a risk of fire, a lot of smoke and waste that personnel breath in. Grain thrower consumes just 0,1 kW per 1 ton of grain and there is no risk of fire, smoke and waste.

• Front-end loader rides on the grain and pushes it with bucket when operating, as a result high degree of grain crushing. Grain thrower degree of grain crushing is no more than 0,15%.

• Depending on modification of grain thrower its performance is up to 170 tons per hour that makes it possible to upload grain much faster than front-end loader.

• Front-end loader empties out bucket near itself and uploading height is much less

• Grain thrower can load grain up to ceiling but front-end loader can’t do this because there is no space available for its bucket

• Grain thrower maintenance and support is much more cheaper than front-end loader maintenance

• Grain thrower is a simple agricultural machine and personnel do not need any permission or license to manage it.

• Grain wetness and population of debris decreases when loading with thrower unlike front-end loader

• Grain thrower withdrawal width is 6 meters and is much less with a front-end loader
