Ropa BunkerMaus 6
The Ropa BunkerMaus 6 is a self-propelled beet loader with a hopper and is the successor to the BunkerMaus 5. The machine combines the advancements of the Tiger 6S and the Panther 2S with the robust components of the BunkerMaus 5.
Bunker and Cleaning
The loading bin has a capacity of 12 m³ and is filled from the front via the support wheels. Roller conveyor chains transport the beets to the cleaning elements, after which the studded rollers in the hopper perform a rough cleaning of the beets. The standard secondary cleaning consists of a 90 cm wide screen chain with a bar spacing of 40 mm. The speed is continuously adjustable from 0 to 3 m/s, and obstacles are automatically detected. Optional equipment includes a wringer roller cleaner with 8 counter-rotating rollers or a stoner with 10 PU cleaning rollers and 2 stoning rollers.
Loader
The loader has a loading height of 6.0 m and a loading width of 15.0 m. The counterweight arm with fuel tank ensures balance during loading. A weighing system with load cells is available as an option.
Engine and Hydraulics
The Mercedes-Benz OM 936 LA delivers 354 pk (260 kW) from a 7.7-liter displacement, with a maximum torque of 1,450 Nm at emission level V. Loading is possible at a reduced engine speed starting at 1,150 rpm. The Bosch Rexroth hydraulic system features separate pumps for suction, transport, and flushing, allowing the speeds for each drive to be adjusted individually.
Cabin
According to Ropa, the BunkerMaus 6 has the largest cabin on the market for loading mice. The soundproof panoramic cabin is height-adjustable up to 5.1 m and features a swiveling, air-suspended seat with heating and ventilation, two 12.1-inch R-Touch displays, two joysticks, and a fold-up auxiliary seat. The rear wall includes storage space with a cooler.
Compact on the road
With a single control, the machine folds down fully automatically from the cab to a transport width of 3.00 m and a length of 14.97 m. The wheelbase is 5.5 m, and there are two hydraulically suspended auxiliary axles. The travel speed is 32 km/h, with 40 km/h available as an option. Switching between road and work modes takes about one minute.
