Tong launches next generation Fieldloader PRO
Tong Engineering, leading UK manufacturer
of vegetable handling equipment, has
announced the launch of its next generation
Fieldloader machine, the Fieldloader PRO.
BASED on the same principles
as Tong’s proven Fieldloader,
which offers in-field and on-
farm cleaning and loading of
crop, the Fieldloader PRO has
been designed with even greater
flexibility, transportability and the
gentlest handling in mind.
HIGH CAPACITY IN-FIELD
CLEANING & LOADING
“Talking to our customers, there
is a definite emphasis on reducing
‘crop miles’ and the amount of
harvest-related soil on the roads
by loading crop at the field side,”
says Edward Tong, Managing
Director at Tong Engineering.
“The Fieldloader PRO will receive
and clean crop at high capacities
straight from trailers filled by the
harvester, ensuring soil and debris
Ww
is removed from crop in the field,
whilst significantly reducing un-
necessary transport of crop from
field to farm.”
COMPACT, GENTLE & QUIET
At under 10 metres long in trans-
port mode, the self-contained and
compact Fieldloader PRO features
a high capacity reception hopper
feeding a choice of crop cleaning
units. The Fieldloader PRO is built
with a spacious 4-man inspec-
tion area before crop transfers
to Tong’s new-style foldable cart
elevator which cradles crop deep
into the bulker trailer. The new
machine also comes complete
with a super-silent onboard
generator, which provides power
efficiency for in-field cleaning, or
can be bypassed for mains power
when operating on-farm.
VERSATILE OPTIONS
“What makes the Fieldloader
PRO different is the multiple clean-
ing options available to custom-
ers, as well as the new wider cart
elevator which can be specified
up to 1.5m wide,” says Edward
Tong, Managing Director at Tong
Engineering.
“The new Fieldloader PRO is
designed to be extremely versa-
tile; it is suitable for multi-crop
use, working effectively on
potatoes, carrots and onions.
Customers can also choose any
Tong cleaning unit as part of the
machine, including our advanced
EasyClean separator available
with Auto-Touch HMI controls.
Our high-speed PU coil cleaning
system and star coil cleaning units
are also available.”
RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
Built upon a heavy-duty chassis,
the Fieldloader PRO can be easily
transported on the road from field
to site, and features robust support
legs for ultimate performance dur-
ing operation. Like all Tong equip-
ment, the new Fieldloader PRO
is built with Tong’s Blue Inverter
Technology, offering all electric in-
verter variable speed drive for the
very best energy efficiency. Tong’s
industry leading Auto-Touch HMI
controls with intelligent diagnostics
and maintenance features are also
an option on the new machine. De-
pending on specification and crop
type, the Fieldloader PRO can be
built to effectively clean and load
up to 150 tons of crop per hour.
