ACTIFLOW - ADVANCED STAR TECHNOLOGY

ACTIFLOW STARS AT WORK

ACTIFLOW is unique, a patented system of stars with alternate long fingers. Arranged in a spiral configuration, these actively distribute soil across the full width of the machine for maximum separating efficiency and uniform soil mixing.
QUALITY BEDS
Consistent star spacing provides even beds of well mixed fine soil and small stones. Ideal for planting into, for good drainage, and the best growing conditions for your crop! A choice of star spacing makes MEGASTAR GEN-2 ideal for seed, early or main crop potatoes, carrots and many other crops

DUROPOL - THE HIGH PERFORMANCE POLYMER COMPOUND

Long star life and low running costs are assured by a highly developed star compound known as DUROPOL. Specially made for the MEGASTAR GEN-2 soil separator DUROPOL has a high resistance to wear, regardless of soil type or operating temperature. Low tractor power requirement saves fuel on every field you prepare with your MEGASTAR GEN-2

As soil and stones feed on to the star bed, the 12 rows of ACTIFLOW stars (choice of spacing) move soil and stones away from the centre of the machine towards the outsides, then back again, repeating the process through the machine. This highly efficient system makes best use of the separation area available for maximum performance, with no 'dead' spots.

LOW RUNNING COSTS - LOW POWER REQUIREMENT

DUROPOL STARS have high resistance to wear

Great visibility for driver, compact for turning

GREAT DRIVER VISIBILITY, COMPACT, MANOUVREABLE

MEGASTAR GEN-2 is easy to drive, with good driver visibility, and easy to handle with its compact dimensions.

The VARI-FLOW web (optional) is speed variable; it maintains an even flow of stones and clods on hilly ground.

An electric control console mounts in tractor cab for easy operation of major functions.
