  • Patent number: 9222561
    Abstract: A transmission for shredding machines includes a drive shaft, a driven shaft, and an intermediate shaft, with at least two spur gears each, at least one hydraulic shift clutch each, and at least one overload clutch. The shafts can releasably be coupled with each other via the spur gears and the hydraulic shift clutches, and the driven shaft can releasably be coupled with an output shaft by way of the overload clutch.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 22, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 29, 2015
    Assignees: Komptech Umwelttechnik GmbH, GKN Wallerscheid GmbH

  • Patent number: 7950209
    Abstract: A drive arrangement for an agricultural machine, especially a field chopper, has a motor driven gearbox (3) that is connectable at a drive-end to at least one drive motor (1). At least one first hydraulic pump (8, 8?) is provided to feed at least one hydraulic motor (14), (17) to drive a working mechanism of a machine. A belt pulley (4) of a belt drive (5), especially for driving a chopper drum (10), is coupled with the gearbox (3). A release clutch (7), with an input-side first clutch element (36) and an output-side second clutch element (37), is also coupled with the gearbox (3). The first clutch element (36) is drivingly connected to the motor driven gearbox (3). The second clutch element (37) is drivingly connected to the belt pulley (4). The second clutch element (37) is non-rotationally connected to a drive shaft (38) to drive the at least one first hydraulic pump (8, 8?).
