CASE STUDY: VOLVO PENTA AND SILOKING CREATE A DYNAMIC MIX

By Saul Wordsworth5th December 20234 Mins Read
Share LinkedIn Twitter Facebook Email


German feed mixer manufacturer Siloking Mayer Maschinenbau GmbH integrated Volvo
Penta’s D5 and D8 engines across its SelfLine self-propelled range ahead of
Stage IV emissions legislation, having by then sold 1000 of the machines since
their launch in 2004.

The next 1000 units sold twice as fast, and the latest 1000 units sold in just
three years – underscoring the growing popularity of the SelfLine design and
customer enthusiasm for the robust, reliable engines that offer increased
productivity, and reduced servicing and fuel costs.




“We chose Volvo Penta for its engine range and service concept that exactly met
our needs for the Siloking models and for their steadfast commitment to a
long-term business partnership,” says Karl-Michael Stieglbauer, Siloking senior
director procurement. “Changing out the engine in our equipment line can be a
monumental undertaking, but with Volvo Penta’s strong support, it took just 10
months. We’ve now delivered over 3000 SelfLine feed mixers and well over 50% of
those are powered by Volvo Penta.”

Simplifying the design process

Meeting diverse power output requirements for different climate zones and
worldwide emissions regulations has been simplified thanks to the engine design
advantages and close collaboration between the partners. The consistent basic
footprint of D5 and D8 engines as they evolve to meet next emissions steps –
from Stage IIIA to forthcoming Stage VI, and China IV – helps reduce development
time for new machines and facilitates Siloking’s market expansion with minimal
modifications.

Siloking’s operators and fleet owners from Shanghai to Seattle benefit from the
same high level of aftersales support thanks to Volvo Penta’s worldwide service
network. Extensive parts commonality between the D5 and D8 engines also benefits
both OEMs and customers in terms of ease and cost optimization.

Close cooperation between the manufacturers during the driveline development
spanned the design of the prototypes to acceptance. Installation time and costs
are reduced, thanks to engines being delivered pre-mounted with the cable
harness and the plug-and-play design of the exhaust system. Initial engine
installations received much fine-tuning to ensure optimal operation with the
mixers’ hydraulics, resulting in a highly efficient driveline. In top-tier
SelfLine models with multiple high-pressure circuits and an open hydraulic
circuit, the engine needed various PTO connections. Volvo Penta upgraded its SAE
B-rated PTO coupling to an SAE C design to meet the OEM’s desire for drive
attachments requiring up to 600 Nm (later uprated to 1000 Nm).

Feeding operational success

With an operator’s main concern being the reduction of the total cost of
operation (TCO) in a vehicle that operates 365 days a year, the doubling of
engine service intervals that results from the use of Volvo Penta units is a
major draw. This now aligns engine maintenance with the 1000 operating hour
requirements for the rest of the machine, greatly reducing maintenance time,
costs and promoting higher machine availability.

Dialing in the ideal amount of high torque at low RPM enables the feed mixers to
cope with high peak loads when milling. The Volvo Penta engines also produce
fewer vibrations at a noise level of just 70.6 dB(A) for more cattle-friendly
operations, while consuming less fuel. Working with electronic monitoring and
assistance systems such as Siloking’s data weighing system, the engine
automatically reverts to idle speed after mixing concludes.

“Practitioners realize that the investment in our self-propelled feed mixers
quickly pays off,” says Siloking sales director, Sascha Behrend. “Less working
time, lower fuel costs and reduced feed losses are much appreciated on the
farm.”

“The strong cooperation between Siloking’s R&D department and Volvo Penta’s
application engineers has resulted in a class-leading range of vehicles, with a
purpose-built drivetrain that is far more suited to the task at hand,” concludes
Tim Hansen, Industrial Sales Manager at Volvo Penta. “Siloking is a highly
professional organization to do business with, and an excellent customer for
Volvo Penta.”
