Also at the event, Krone took the opportunity to conduct the world’s first public demonstration of their Premos 5000 mobile pellet harvester. This machine can turn straw into pellets which can then be used in various applications such as animal feed and bedding and also burning as a renewable fuel source.

The Premos has a working speed of between 3 and 5km/h and currently has an output of up to 5t/h. Pellets are completely produced in the 4m-long machine, which has a horsepower requirement of 400hp to run effectively.
