Quantum Core
A high-end, medium-sized plot combine
The Quantum Core is the very foundation of the high-end Quantum product line from WINTERSTEIGER. It was developed with a view to mastering the increasingly demanding challenges of modern field trials. The Quantum Core plot combine makesthe innovative technology accessible to customers on a smaller budget.Its features ensure a streamlined yet powerful plot combine solution. The standard functions make for improved user-friendliness, a higher throughput, and optimized crop logistics.
The possible applications range from nurseries to yield trials. The machine has an innovative design, which includes an ergonomic cabin with insulation, a powerful engine, and the OptiFloww threshing unit. Together, these features ensure the purity of the samples and the best possible results. In addition, an optional weighing and sampling system can be installed.
Your benefits
Quantum Core Transport logistics for high-performance crop analysis
Separation of grain and air via innovative airfoil separator
Grain tank
The grain tank is a standard option and comes in two different sizes with a capacity of 700/20 bu or 1,100 liters/30 bu. It is installed in the center section of the machine between the front and rear axles to ensure even weight distribution. A flap in the bottom allows for easy cleaning of the tank. A compressed air connection is also installed next to the upper grain tank door and can be used for a compressed air nozzle to simplify cleaning.
Performance features of the grain tank:
-
Electronic level indicator and window to the cabin
-
Fast unloading speed for emptying the entire tank in less than 2 minutes
-
Hydraulic, folding unloading auger with an overhead loading height of 3.2 m (10’6”), optionally 4.2 m (14’)
-
Easy cleaning for seed multiplication and basic seed harvest
Sampling in the cabin
Sampling is performed in the cabin as per the sample definition. The operator presses a button to start the process. An optional foot switch is also available to keep both hands free for sampling.The sampling system is dust-free, so the cabin does not become contaminated.If the harvested seeds amount to less than 20 liters, the system can be used to bag the entire plot in the cabin. Sampler
performance features:
Ergonomic sample outlets on rear of cabin Designed for operation by one or two people
Monitored sampling system: The system stops when the next sample is ready and the previous sample has not yet been taken.
Continuously adjustable sample volume up to 20 kg with an accuracy of 5 %
Sample storage
The sample storage integrated between the cabin and the grain tank is an innovative and handy solution. This feature increases the efficiency of the Quantum Core enormously without impacting the machine width and stability.
After bagging, the operator puts the samples into a standard box, which is conveniently placed on a storage table. The recommended box from WINTERSTEIGER is available in the dimensions 400 x 300 x 210 mm. After filling the box, the operator opens a pneumatically operated sliding door in the rear of the cabin, and deposits the box on a conveyor belt located behind it. The conveyor belt can hold a total of five standard boxes. When the conveyor belt is full, the outer side door with rollers is opened and folded down so that the boxes can be taken off one by one via the conveyor belt.
The Quantum Core sample storage can also accommodate boxes of different sizes, provided they are no wider than 400 mm and no higher than 220 mm. Filled bags used in the bagging process can also be stored here instead of boxes. The bags are deposited directly on the conveyor belt, and the loading and removal process is the same as when using boxes.
Performance features:
- 560 l (20 cu) storage volume
- Space for 5 boxes (300 x 400 x 210 mm) (12” x 16”)
- Electric conveyor belt system for loading and unloading
- No protruding parts on the sides that would impair the transport width
Optional extras for a custom plot combine
The Quantum family by WINTERSTEIGER
Quantum family of combines consists of three models in a modular design. Designed with user needs in mind, the plot combines set new standards in terms of throughput, user-friendliness, and crop logistics.
The Quantum Core – a mid-size, high-end plot combine – completes the range, meaning that we have the right machine for all plot sizes and budgets. Like its predecessors, the Quantum Plus and Quantum Pro, the Quantum Core can be adapted to suit your individual requirements.
