“We’re really excited about the
developments we have coming
up in 2015 and can’t wait to
show off the new features of
our latest Caretaker model”
Like the current model, the
EasyClean II will feature a fully
electric inverter direct drive motor
on every shaft, ensuring minimal
maintenance and refined control.
The new model will be a cartridgestyle module and will be built
using new uprated heavy duty
spiral shafts with a unique helix rib
and axial air chamber to ensure
the best deformation of the spiral
for self-cleaning and exceptional
grip on leaf matter. The EasyClean
II will also come with a new autoeject function to ensure any
foreign objects are ejected to
prevent machine damage.
Another new feature on the new
Caretaker is the company’s new
and advanced Pro-Series control
interface, which is offered as part
of its Auto-Touch HMI touch screen
control. With added benefits
including a new, larger display with
easy to use graphical controls, the
Auto –Touch HMI Pro-Series not
only provides total touch-screen
control of machine speed and
settings, it also offers advanced
diagnostics including a machine
health status report, plus precise
fault detection and location of any
machine faults or E-stop alerts,
significantly reducing downtime
and maintenance. Integrated
safety features within the ProSeries control also allow
unparalleled safety parameters to
be set in place, meaning the new
models of the Caretaker operates
with a category three safety
system.
Complementing the new
EasyClean II separator and AutoTouch HMI advancements are a
number of additional features
including the option of a new
multi-camera monitoring system,
which gives easy and instant
viewing of multiple areas of the
Caretaker for the checking of crop
flow and faults from one central
location, as well as an angle-adjust
presentation conveyor, doublestrength PVG belts, trailer
reversing sensors for quick and
easy loading into the hopper and
new energy-efficient LED
inspection lighting on the
inspection table to reduce crop
shadowing, improving visibility and
working conditions, making
picking-off capabilities much
easier.
Nick Woodcock, sales manager
said; “We’re really excited about
the developments we have coming
up in 2015 and can’t wait to show
off the new features of our latest
Caretaker model.
“2015 also marks 85 years since
Tong Peal started producing
machinery in Spilsby, so we’re
really excited about that too.

best opportunities to catch up with
clients old and new. We’ll once
again have a heated marquee on
