01 The unique threshing
system from Massey Ferguson.
02 Constant Flow speed
sensor mounted on heavy
-duty cylinder drive pulley.
03 Cylinder rasp bars with
heavy-duty backing plate.
04 The high-strength, high-Inertia
three drum threshing system.
The unique design of the threshing
cylinder and concave ensures
maximum threshing and
separation in all crops.
The cylinder has eight rasp
bars mounted on backing bars.
The rasp bars are reinforced to
make them extremely strong and
durable. This design also increases
the peripheral weight of the
cylinder and increases momentum,
ensuring that smooth, even cropflow is always maintained.
The highly permeable concave
has many unique features. An
additional rub bar is fixed to
the front of the concave which
starts threshing early.
The gap between this additional
bar and the first bar on the
concave is solid. This ensures
a firm ‘rub’ so de-awners or
filler plates are not required
in difficult to thresh crops.
Simplicity with rotary separators
The rotary separator’s speed
and concave clearance can
be adjusted easily:
This is the heart of the machine. 95% of threshing and
separation should happen here, so the design is critical.
Fast speed and close clearance for
heavy straw and damp conditions
are implemented to force out any
trapped grains before the straw
is ‘fluffed’ and delivered to the
straw walkers.
Alternatively a slow and wide
clearance can be set in very dry,
brittle straw conditions where
straw quality has to be maintained.
Constant Flow
for smarter operation
The key to increased output is
to keep the combine fully
loaded. When the crop thins,
the combine needs more material
to keep everything running at
100% capacity.
Constant Flow achieves this by
sensing the load on the cylinder
and electronically varying the
combine forward speed to
match the crop.
Output can be increased by up to
15% in a wide variety of crops.
