AWB-1600 C 2 Rows Potato Digger

 

Welcome to India Watanabe Soil Stabilizer Co., Ltd., your certified India Manufacturer and premier specialist in high-efficiency Potato Digger Machine equipment. The AWB-1600 C 2 ROWS Potato Digger is the absolute pinnacle of stability and separation capability in its class. Weighing a formidable 1350 Kg—the heaviest 2-row model in our lineup—and requiring a minimum power input of 95 CV, the AWB-1600 C is engineered for the most difficult harvest conditions, including heavy, sticky soil, high vine/weed content, and uneven terrain. This structural mass, coupled with specialized multi-stage separation features, guarantees the highest recovery rate and lowest tuber damage while operating at the controlled 3-5 km/h working speed.

Structural Excellence: 1350 Kg for Unrivaled Stability

The AWB-1600 C‘s increased mass and reinforced chassis are engineered to provide non-wavering performance in the face of structural challenges.

The 1350 Kg Advantage: Penetration in Black Cotton Soil

The 1350 Kg Empty Weight provides the maximum necessary structural downforce to ensure the digging share cuts cleanly and accurately through highly compressed soil layers and the deep, sticky profile of Black Cotton Soil (Maharashtra). This extreme mass prevents the machine from riding up over hard spots, guaranteeing consistent digging depth across both rows—a non-negotiable factor for achieving high tuber recovery.

Advanced Multi-Stage Separation for Pristine Tubers

Unlike simpler models, the AWB-1600 C’s weight and design support enhanced separation capability (often including a Deviner Web). This specialized stage is crucial for:

1. Vine and Trash Removal: Aggressively separates vines, weeds, and heavy crop residue that often clog simpler diggers, ensuring clean potato tubers reach the windrow.

2. Clod Breakup: The multi-stage agitation is optimized to break up large, heavy clods, preventing them from being carried to the windrow, which reduces secondary labor required for picking.

High-Power Match for Stability and Continuous Flow

The 95 CV minimum HP requirement is critical for overcoming the high pull-resistance of heavy soil and engaging the multiple, often energy-intensive, separation webs. This power margin ensures the PTO-driven webs maintain optimal speed (540 RPM) and agitation, guaranteeing continuous, clean separation at the controlled 3-5 km/h harvesting speed.

The Commercial Imperative: Securing High-Grade Yield

The AWB-1600 C is the ultimate strategic asset for commercial growers where harvest quality and speed must be balanced, regardless of field adversity.

Harvest Window Optimization and Uptime Guarantee

The AWB-1600 C’s structural robustness minimizes the risk of component stress and hydraulic strain common when harvesting in heavy soil. This superior structural durability ensures maximum operational uptime, allowing the farm to quickly complete the harvest and mitigate the catastrophic risk of crop loss due to sudden, unseasonal rain.

Maximizing Marketable Yield in Difficult Conditions

The low tuber damage rate is the benchmark for the AWB-1600 C. The gentle, multi-stage separation and enhanced stability ensure that even in abrasive Laterite Soil (Karnataka), the tubers’ skin remains intact. This guarantees the highest percentage of the harvest meets premium grade standards for fresh market or long-term storage, maximizing the return on the Potato Digger Machine Price in India.

Applications in Extreme Indian Potato Belts

The AWB-1600 C is the definitive choice for challenging environments:

• Black Cotton Soil Regions (Maharashtra, MP): Where its 1350 Kg mass provides the necessary cutting force and separation stability.

• Vine-Heavy Fields: Where the enhanced separation mechanisms are required to minimize trash carry-over and labor costs.

Live Experience: Quantified Field Performance

We provide verifiable data and customer reports demonstrating the superior stability and separation efficiency of the AWB-1600 C in demanding conditions.

Customer Story 1: Conquering Clogging in Sticky Clay (Maharashtra)

A commercial potato producer in the sticky Black Cotton Soil region of Maharashtra previously suffered chronic clogging, reducing daily coverage to less than 4 acres.

The Solution: They switched to the AWB-1600 C (1350 Kg mass) powered by a 100 cv tractor.

The Result: The extreme structural mass and multi-stage separation eliminated persistent clogging. The farm documented a 98% reduction in harvest-related stoppages and increased their daily acreage coverage to 7 acres per shift, proving the massive efficiency gain provided by the heavy-duty design.

Customer Story 2: Power and Low Damage in Vine-Heavy Fields (Punjab)

A large potato grower in Punjab faced high labor costs due to manual vine and weed removal from the windrows.

The Solution: They utilized the AWB-1600 C, relying on its enhanced separation capability at 4 km/h.

The Result: The machine effectively separated 99% of the vines and trash before windrowing, resulting in a 50% reduction in post-harvest labor costs for manual cleanup. Furthermore, the low tuber damage rate was confirmed to be consistently below 1%, ensuring premium quality for their seed potato stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the AWB-1600 C Potato Digger

• Q: Why does the AWB-1600 C weigh 1350 Kg?

  • A: The machine’s extreme 1350 Kg mass provides the maximum structural stability and downforce necessary to maintain consistent digging depth and prevent lateral drift when working in high-resistance, sticky, or uneven soil across its two rows.

• Q: What is the minimum horsepower (HP) required for the AWB-1600 C?

  • A: The machine requires a minimum engine power of 95 cv (HP). This high power is necessary to pull the 1350 Kg mass and operate the complex, energy-intensive separation systems efficiently at 3-5 km/h.

• Q: What is the key advantage of the “C” model’s enhanced separation?

  • A: The “C” model is optimized for fields with high vine and weed content. Its heavier structure supports superior separation mechanisms, which aggressively and cleanly remove trash, reducing the need for costly post-harvest manual cleanup.

• Q: Does the extreme weight damage the soil structure?

  • A: The 1350 Kg weight is primarily distributed to stabilize the digging share. By ensuring a single, clean pass, the machine minimizes wheel slip and repeated travel over the field, resulting in less overall soil disturbance than lighter machines that require multiple, slower passes.

The Physics of Extreme Separation: Mass, Hydraulics, and PTO Synergy

The AWB-1600 C’s structural mass and PTO drive operate in synergy. The 1350 Kg weight ensures the digging share maintains non-wavering penetration, maximizing tuber recovery. This stable intake of material is then perfectly matched to the hydraulically controlled web speed, ensuring the complex separation process (soil-to-tuber, vine-to-tuber) occurs gently and completely during the controlled 3-5 km/h movement, resulting in the lowest rate of tuber damage.
