Officine Meccaniche Ferruzza, a Sicilian company based in Ribera, near Agrigento, broadens its range of trailers approved for the French market with its single-axle transbordeurs LG 70 V, LG 70AV, LG 120 and LG 120 B. The overall approved load capacity (PATC) for the first two is 10.6 tonnes, and 15.5 tonnes for the last two. In addition to these four single-axle models, the two-axle tandem LG 140 model was already approved last July for a load capacity of 24 tonnes.  For all the trailers, the discharge speed reaches up to 2.1 cubic metres per minute with a PTO speed of 540 revolutions per minute, depending on the type of product to be processed and its degree of dryness.

Loading height up to 8.7 metres. Recommended for the transport and handling of cereals and animal feed, the machines by Ferruzza stand out particularly for the 360° swiveling swing that allows the discharge up to a height of 5.8 metres for models LG 70 V and LG 70 AV, and at a height of 7.03 metres for models LG 120, LG 120 B and LG 140. However - the manufacturer specifies - thanks to the use of extensions it is possible to increase the height up to 7.5 metres for the first two and up to 8.76 metres for the last three. Furthermore, the swivelling pan enables the operator to use the trailers also during planting operations, because with these applications it is possible to fill the drill box considerably reducing load times.

Silent augers. The transbordeurs developed by Officine Meccaniche Ferruzza are also characterized by a load volume of between 11, 16.5 and 20.5 cubic metres and a discharge device composed of a system of augers, a lower curve, an articulated one, and a 360° swing. The lower curve in oil bath, in turn, is formed by a 90° transmission group driven by a chain transmission, also in oil bath. The rotation of the swing, however, is achieved by means of a slewing ring and a pinion, controlled by a hydraulic motor. The augers of the transmission case bottom and of the swing, equipped with supports at the ends and in the centre, stand out for their very low levels of noise and vibration. In addition, the supports of the augers are equipped with a labyrinth seal and can be greased quickly from the outside through a grease zerk.

Long life bearings. Among the notable strengths of the Ferruzza Officine Meccaniche range, the bearings with cover fitted with a labyrinth seal that allows you to lubricate them easily through the grease zerk on the outside. With this solution it is possible to extend the average life of the component while also reducing its noise.
