Tine Control System

Built-in reliability

The Andex 383, 423 and 463 offer the intensive farmer and contractor a drive system designed for long term reliability:

The crown wheel and pinion assembly are running in a fully enclosed oilbath ensuring permanent and 100% reliable lubrication. The crown wheel is located by a massive radial ball bearing which gives exceptional support and ensures consistent engagement of gear teeth without influence from outside forces.

A shallow profile cam track combined with a large diameter (300 or 400 mm) ensure that the cam follower rollers are smoothly guided throughout the entire cycle.

Each tine control arm pivots on a pair of sealed ball bearings mounted in a rugged aluminum housing. Wear is virtually eliminated and the frictional loads imposed on the cam assembly during raking of heavy first cut crops is also dramatically reduced.

Exceptional raking performance

With up to 13 double tangential tine arms and four double tines per arm Vicon Andex rakes are equipped for maximum raking performance.
