Description
The ERDWOLF is an earth crusher and mixer, primarily used to
prepare suitable soils for agriculture and gardening, that is, it disintegrates
all kinds of soil (even of very hard consistency) and organic material (plant
residues, peat, farmyard manure, straw, etc) and is also capable of mixing them
in any desired proportion.
The robust steel casing which stands on three legs, has a wide
cylindrical steel hopper, the height of which can be adjusted to facilitate
feeding. The hopper also has an adjustable, two-fold rebound safety lock to
prevent stones from bouncing back through the opening.
The hardened steel rotating tools (2 blades for coarse crushing
and 3 blades for fine crushing) are manufactured in one piece and are
reversible, that is, both edges can be used. Counter tools are bolted onto the
inside wall of the steel casing to break up stalks, roots and wood waste.
Depending on the capacity requirements, the ERDWOLF can be
equipped with a 3-phase electric motor, which is fixed between the legs for
protection and saving of space. The 4 hp motor has an output of 5-8 m3 per hour,
while the 5.5 and 7.5 hp motors have outputs of 7-11 and 8-14 m3 per
hour respectively. The machine is also available with a petrol engine (7 hp,
ejecting 5-8 m3 per hour), in which case a protective shield is attached to the
hopper. Alternatively, a power take-off connection can be provided.
A pair of, hard rubber or pneumatic castors are provided for
easy transportation to and around the production site.
Operating the ERDWOLF
By releasing three lock nuts, the height of the hopper can be
adjusted vertically: the higher it is fixed, the greater the output of a coarser
consistency, the lower it is fixed, the less the output and finer the material
discharged.
Taking care that the deflection guard of the discharge opening
does not face any person or item that can be endangered by the material thrown
out, the motor switch lever is fumed to position I. When the machine has reached
its operation speed, the lever is shifted to position II and the operators can
begin to shovel the earth into the hopper. While care must be taken not to
overload the machine, it has a protective switch (overload contactor), which
ensures that excessive loads cannot cause damage.
The only maintenance required is daily cleaning after work by
filling the hopper with water while the machine is in operation. The addition of
a few shovels of sand gives even better results. Every 2 years the motor should
be lubricated and cleaned by a trained person, and worn-out tools replaced
whenever necessary.
