Dewulf Enhances ZB2 Harvester with Larger Bunker

Roeselare, Belgium - Dewulf NV., an agricultural machinery manufacturer, has unveiled significant upgrades to its ZB2 harvester, a two-row top lifting machine. The redesigned model features a host of improvements aimed at increasing capacity, improving crop handling, and boosting operational efficiency in the field.

The most notable enhancement is the ZB2's new bunker, which now boasts a 10m³ capacity - a 10% increase over the previous version. Inspired by the design of Dewulf’s R3060 sieving harvester, the upgraded bunker introduces greater harvesting flexibility. A fixed front section means the bunker no longer needs to be fully raised during unloading, allowing for continuous harvesting and unloading without disrupting operations.

Unloading has been made easier and more efficient. The maximum discharge height now reaches 4,100mm, with a minimum of 1,480mm. Additionally, the discharge point has been repositioned one metre further from the machine, creating more space between the harvester and transfer trailer. This change facilitates smoother transfer operations in the field.

A redesigned discharge conveyor includes a new foldable section, allowing the bunker to fold inward when necessary. Combined with a three-degree reduction in the lifting web’s inclination, this contributes to gentler crop handling and increased overall capacity.

The ZB2’s harvesting belt units have also received an upgrade, now featuring a new upper frame and the reversible cutter set found in Dewulf’s latest harvesters. An extra rear platform has been added, providing easier access to cutter sets and greatly simplifying maintenance.

For tough conditions, Dewulf offers an improved sieving unit with better cleaning and stable depth control. A new three-belt web system boosts durability. The ZB2 now supports both tracks and wheels, with easy switching. Core features like dual hedgehog units and the ‘Floating Share’ system remain unchanged.

With these comprehensive upgrades, Dewulf’s latest ZB2 harvester is poised to offer farmers greater productivity, improved crop care, and seamless field operations.
