2025 Krone Premos 5000

The mobile pellet harvester and stationary mill: In presenting the Premos 5000 (Kalverkamp system), KRONE is once again making a powerful statement of its innovative performance: The Premos is at the same time mobile pellet harvester and a stationary pellet mill that harnesses the huge potential of straw, which is abundantly available in the fields around the world, and presses it into top-quality, high-fibre pellets. These make ideal bedding, animal feed and fuel.

In presenting the Premos 5000 (Kalverkamp system), KRONE is once again making a powerful statement of its innovative performance: The Premos is at the same time a mobile pellet harvester and a stationary pelleting press which harnesses the huge potential of straw and other crop stalks which are abundantly available in the fields around the world, and presses it into top-quality, structural pellets. These make ideal bedding, animal feed and fuel.

The pellets are conveyed to the 9 m³ hopper. Here they are cooled by a blower after they were heated under the high pelleting pressure. As soon as the hopper, which also features a weighing system, is filled to capacity the pellets can be unloaded into a chaser bin.

Augers inside the die rollers feed the pellets to an elevator which in turn feeds them through a sieving drum. Here, dust and debris are separated from the pellets and returned to the pellet press rollers. The results are pellets of an optimum quality that are suitable for use as bedding, feed or fuel.

As the material flows between the two die rollers it is pressed into the 16 mm holes and from here into the inside of the rollers. The pellet diameter is fixed as it is determined by the diameter of the holes, but pellet length varies between 15 mm and 40 mm by adjusting the gap between the spacers and the pellet press roller.

The material is milled by two counter-rotating and interlocking pellet press rollers with alternating rows of teeth and holes. The teeth of one roller mesh with the holes of the other, pressing the material into the holes and depending on the crop, pressures of up to 2000 bar and temperatures of up to 100°C are generated.
