Pioneers of the flywheel concept in the '60's, the Mengele SH40 is renowned for its sheer strength and power efficiency.

The kinetic energy built up in a flywheel means around 20% less horsepower for the same output when compared to a cylinder chop machine. It's noticeable how this stored energy smoothes out the peak power demands in a lumpy swath, giving a much more even r.p.m.

 
 
Due to the clearances in the housing by the nature of flywheel design, in the event of a foreign object getting into the machine, Mengele forage harvesters are much less prone to major blow ups.
