Caretaker Mobile Vegetable Sizing

Tong’s market leading EasyClean separator offers truly unmatched crop cleaning performance and control. With Inverter Direct Drive motors on every shaft, the EasyClean has full electric Blue-Inverter technology control with a proven track record of exceptional crop cleaning results. The new Caretaker is fitted with an even more refined, cartridge-style model, the EasyClean II. With a new auto-reject function for removal of foreign objects and the capability to be even more finely tuned, our knowledge and experience allows us to offer the most effective separator on the market with the EasyClean II.

In 2006, Tong introduced a new generation of cleaning separator to the sizing market, which revolutionised crop cleaning in all crop and soil conditions, and made the Caretaker the number one selling mobile sizer on the market. Over the years we have gained invaluable experience in working with separators like the EasyClean we are proud to offer today. This has given us the knowledge to improve and refine the design and control of the EasyClean separator to provide unparalled cleaning results, ensuring the Caretaker continues to lead the way.

When specified with an EasyClean separating system, the Caretaker is available with the option of the latest technology HMI touch screen controls. In order to achieve the very best control of crop cleaning in all conditions, touch screen control offers customers a simplified ‘touch of a button’ means of setting the machine to suit different crop cleaning requirements. Users can select crop conditions such as ‘Wet’ or ‘Dry’ and crop type from the display menu, setting the machine to automatically change the speed, position and direction of the cleaning rollers at the touch of a button. This makes setting the separator for different loads exceptionally quick and easy.

And now, Tong’s proven Auto-Touch HMI touch screen control is even more advanced than ever, with the added option of a unique and advanced Pro-Control Interface that facilitates a number of impressive and very useful features. These new Pro-Series features make the HMI control even more user friendly whilst offering enhanced control as well as reduced maintenance and downtime. The new Pro-Series features leave you feeling quite literally empowered at the touch of a button! With advanced diagnostic capabilities including a machine health status report plus fault detection and precise location information on inverter faults and E-Stop alerts, the Pro-Series advancements are leading the way in equipment control.

All new Caretaker mobile sizing machines are built with Tong’s Blue Inverter Technology, offering the very best energy efficiency, with all electric Inverter Variable Speed Drive, offering energy savings of over 50% when compared to similar machines with standard mechanical drive. When running at full capacity and tested with dry crop conditions, the latest models of the Caretaker run on just 18 amps, offering significant energy savings on previous models.

With heavy duty steel gauge design consisting of chain and lathe construction and heavy duty 4 inch pitch chains with a dual driven shaft, the Caretaker unloader offers the very best quality and reliability, with a total maximum strain of 64 ton. Built with the option of a heavy duty reinforced EP250 rubber chevron belt with vulcanised V cleats or a heavy duty PVC pocket belt, you can be sure that Tong unloader will stand up to demands for years to come.

Quite literally your hopper loading co-pilot! The Caretaker’s version of parking sensors, make trailer reversing and hopper loading much quicker, safer, easier and more accurate than ever before.

The latest models of the Caretaker are now available with a suite of cameras positioned at different locations around the machine, for easy and instant ‘live’ viewing of multiple areas of the Caretaker from a central location. This allows operators to quickly check the running status of the machine, to check crop flow, blockages, load etc from one viewing screen.
