FC 302 - FC 302 R - FC 352 - 352 R
For grass, FC 302 and FC 352 are fitted with a rotor with metal fingers and an adjustable comb.
The round, smooth fingers are used so that the forage is not damaged the way it sometimes is
with sharp-edged tools.
Four stages of conditioning
Reversible comb
The reversible comp has two sides:
one (rounded) for conditioning deli-
cate crops
the other for gramineous crops, it
reversible in just a few seconds.
Conditioning adjustment
- The conditioning intensity changes with
the degree of overlap between comb
teeth and rotor fingers. Conditioning is
increased or reduced by means of a
lever. Comb in raised position: little
conditioning effect.
- Rotor speed adjusted by inverting the
pulleys: 1000 min
-1
for intensive condi-
tioning and 810 min
-1
for lighter condi-
tioning.
Safety
Should a foreign object enter the machine, the spring loaded comb swings back
and is automatically repositioned.
A
B
The base of the crop stem
enters the machine first, allowing rotor fingers to make
initial contact with the crop’s
thickest part (longest to dry).
The natural wax coating on
both stem and leaf is broken
down due to friction of plant
against shield.
As crop flows between the
comb teeth, the natural wax
coating is opened along the
length of the stem, allowing
maximum moisture content to
evaporate.
With the comb completely raised, there is little conditioning
effect.
