About U Pro Series Makina Ophwanya Zomera (Mulcher)

U Pro Series ndi gulu la makina aukadaulo ophwanya zomera ogwiritsidwa ntchito ndi mathirakitala. Makinawa amapangidwa ndi chitsulo chowotcheredwa chokhala ndi maliro a utoto wa ufa (powder-coated) kapena chitsulo chokutidwa ndi zinki (galvanized). Chimango chosunthika chammbali choyendetsedwa ndi mphamvu ya madzi (hydraulic) chitha kuikidwa kutsogolo kapena kumbuyo kwa thirakitala. Zolimbitsa zammbali ndi malo omangirira osunthika zimawonjezera kulimba ndipo zimatsatira mmene nthaka ilili. Kutalika kwa kugwira ntchito kumasinthidwa ndi zoterera (skids) ndi cholozera chozungulira (roller), kuchokera pa masentimita 3 mpaka 12 m'magawo anayi. Zoterera zoyandikana pamzere zimalepheretsa kusonkhanitsidwa kwa udzu wodulidwa. Makinawa amapezeka m'mitundu ya m'lifupi mwa masentimita 250, 280 ndi 300.

Unique Properties: Together with the upgraded head-stock, using a distinct structural form inspired by the shape of Mount Rtanj, the U Pro model utilizes a simplified and more durable belt-tightening system. The transmission and rotor are now height adjustable, while the side mask is much smaller. The mask design continues to embody the brand's motto: strength, focus, and perseverance. Carefully placed brakes enhance robustness, while clean lines and concealed joins convey orderliness and discipline.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width: 280 cm, Depth: 122 cm, Height: 107 cm (for 250 cm working grip), Weight 980 kg
Tags: Mulcher, Shredder, Endurance, Strength, Perseverance
Production Technology: Welded steel, powder-coated / galvanized
Design Challenge: Besides variations in material thickness, the previous standard and professional options of the machine showed only minor differences in form, so differentiating the design language of the two version was a priority. A more straight-forward operation was yet another challenge. The Pro version needed to radiate durability and strength, while enabling uninterrupted extended functionality. New dynamic design details added to the upgraded parts intend to emphasize a broader set of usages.
Research: The design of the U Pro mulcher combines bold lines and angled surfaces, emphasizing forward motion, strength and durability. Newly implemented features enhance functionality and operability, while the side reinforcements of the head-stock add to the robust character. The new design brings more structural stability to the professional version of the model and simplifies the production of the side mask, contributing to the overall striking and dynamic aesthetics.
Inspiration: The U Pro mulcher series is a complete redesign of a classic all-rounder, featuring cutting-edge technology, premium build quality, and upgraded design inspired by the new U series. The machine echoes the new company logo with sharp lines and large surfaces and brings unique design details that expand the functionalities of the standard U model. Bold graphics resumes to accentuate the robust form of the machine, together with strength and dynamic character.
Project Duration: The project lasted for several months, and was done in Belgrade and Boljevac
Operation Flow: A versatile hydraulically controlled side shift frame can be front and rear mounted to a tractor. The frame has upper and lower side reinforcements for extra rigidity. It also features additional movable attachment points that adapt to the contours of the terrain. The in-line skids do not allow the collecting of mown grass. The working height of the machine is adjustable via skids and roller, ranging from 3 to 12 cm in 4 increments. The product range covers 250, 280, and 300 cm working grips.
