SEEDMECHFolie / Page 4 Target: High energy yields Environmentally compatible production way  APPLICATIONS:  Use this crops in biogas plants  Use this crops directly e.g. pellets  For production of heat, electricity und fuels Bio-energy crops

SEEDMECHFolie / Page 5 IMPORTANCE: Trend: Increasing land use for bio-energy crops Alternative supply for fossil raw materials like oil and gas Public targets for increasing the percentage of bio- energy crops like in Germany from about 5 to 15% That means increasing number of bio-energy trials! Bio-energy crops

SEEDMECHFolie / Page 7 CIBUS - Features  Field of application:  CIBUS = forage (lat.)   Powerful plot harvester for: -grass -clover -other forage plants -flowers -silage maize

SEEDMECHFolie / Page 8 CIBUS - Features  Advantages:  Modular system: -Possibility to customize -Broad possible field of application  Compact dimensions: -High agility, simple transport  Quick, mix-free transport of harvested material  High user friendliness and drive comfort (handling adjusted to Classic und Delta)  Good overview over the workflow  Options: -Automatic weighing system -Automatic sampling system

SEEDMECHFolie / Page 9 CIBUS - Components Basic machine:  Cibus F -VW engine: 35 kW/48 HP, 4 cylinder, diesel, 1900 ccm, water- cooled -Deutz engine: 56 kW/76 HP, 4 cylinder, diesel, 2700 ccm, air-cooled  Cibus S -Deutz engine: 56 kW/76 HP, 4 cylinder, diesel, 2700 ccm, air-cooled  Traction drive -Transmission system: hydrostatic, stepless from 0 – 16 km/h -Steering:hydraulic -Tires:(Standard)Front: 11.5/ Rear: 200/60 – 14.5

SEEDMECHFolie / Page 10 CIBUS - Components  Driver’s cab: -Clear layout of operating elements -Ergonomic and simple operation -Simple set up and adjustment possibilities from the driver’s seat -Closed electronic system – long product life cycle -New switches– Resistance against outside influences

SEEDMECHFolie / Page 11 CIBUS - Components  Driver‘s cab:  Multi-function lever -Stepless traction driveforward/reverse -Cutting table lift/lower -Reellift/lower -Cutting unit and reel drives on/off -„ENTER“ button weighing system (optional)

SEEDMECHFolie / Page 12 CIBUS F - Components Harvesting attachments:  Cutting unit -Cutting width: 1,25/ 1,50 /2,0 m -Cutting height:30 – 600 mm -Conveyor:Cassette system Endless conveyor belt -Crop divider:optional Conveyor belt Closed crop divider

SEEDMECHFolie / Page 13 CIBUS F - Components Harvesting attachments: Advantages cutting device: -Lossless cut, also lodged crops -2 rotary brushes (cutting width: 1,5/2m) allow for congestion free and even collection of harvested material -Wide guiding skids -Closed crop divider Rotary brushes

SEEDMECHFolie / Page 14 CIBUS S - Components Harvesting attachments:  Maize chopper Kemper C1200 -Cutting width: 1,25 m -Chopping length:5-30 mm Advantages: -Lossless collection of harvested material (twin intake rollers with aggressive teeth) -Row independent: broad field of application (maize, sorghum, sunflower, silage, elephant grass) -Efficient feeding, high speed flywheel for best chop/feed quality
