CLAAS' agricultural machines refuel more quickly with tank filling system
by NORMA Group
Maintal, Germany, 20. August 2013 - NORMA Group, an international market
and technology leader for engineered joining technology, has cooperated
with CLAAS KGaA mbH ('CLAAS'), a globally leading manufacturer of
agricultural machinery, in developing a diesel tank filling system for
quicker and safe refuelling of combines and large tractors. The system
consists of a tank filling pipe and a corresponding tank ventilation pipe
that speed up the filling process and ensure a tight connection.
'It was critical for us to obtain a single-source solution. It had to be
reliable with harmonised components. We are impressed by the good
collaboration with NORMA Group and the short development time. Furthermore,
we are reducing our costs for instance through shorter assembly times,'
adds Rüdiger Feldkamp, Head of Components Purchasing at CLAAS.
The tank filling system provided by NORMA Group for the combine Lexion and
the large tractor model Xerion consists of a special multi-layer corrugated
pipe that connects the main 800 litre tank with the filler head. The
corrugated pipe optimises flow characteristics and enables filling
capacities of at least 250 litres per minute. The specially designed
NORMACONNECT PS 3 push&seal quick connector ensures a quick and safe
connection to the tank's filler head and the tank. The quick connector can
be mounted and removed easily and safely. Bernd Nagelsmöller, who has
overseen the development at CLAAS: 'Our agricultural machines drive very
long distances with as few interruptions as possible to ensure efficient
harvesting or ploughing. Quick refuelling is critical. The tank filling
system provided by NORMA Group clearly accelerates the refuelling of our
agricultural machines.'
Werner Deggim, CEO of NORMA Group: 'Special client requirements such as
shorter refuelling times and higher tank volumes are a particular
motivation for us. We are pleased that we could significantly exceed CLAAS'
expectations of the development time. Barely six months passed between the
request and the delivery of the first mass-produced parts.'
The tank filling system stands out for its low weight and shorter assembly
time. An optional additional 350-litre expansion tank for the combine can
be connected to the main tank via an additional multi-layer corrugated pipe
and a PS3 quick connector. The system resists temperatures of between -20 C
and +80 C and can be manufactured up to a length of 220 cm. Since the pipe
systems have a modular design, they can also be implemented in other
vehicles of CLAAS.
