Crop Shear Changing Equipment

The crop shear periodical maintenance changing operation was taking a quite long time and dismantling operations were needed some dangerous operations. Thanks to the unique design of crop shear changing equipment, new changing operation is being done with crane operator with safer operation and with a shortened time. Within the scope of the study, it is anticipated that there will be approximately 80 hours of labor return per year. Work within the scope of engineering, design and technical drawing took 8 months and was completed in 2018.

Objective Ensuring more secure operations in terms of OHS
Shortening the crop shear changing time
Solution Self automated design which locks and unlocks itself
Providing a working environment without operator in a risky area.
Tailored Approach Ensuring safer working environment in terms of OHS
Shortening the crop shear changing time aprox. 1,5 hours/changing
