CORN HEADS COMPARED
COMPARISON BETWEEN DECK PLATES
ALL THE OTHER
CORN HEADS
FIXED

Ears violently hit against deck plates and forcefully separate.
CONSEQUENCES:
losses of kernels between the plates, ears bounce out of the machine.

WITH SUSPENSIONS

Deck plates are equipped with a special suspension device able to reduce the impact of the ears on them.
ADVANTAGES:
ears separate gentler and there is no kernel loss nor ears bouncing out.
ALL THE OTHER
CORN HEADS
FIXED OPENING

The opening of plates does not change to match the different sizes of the corn stalks. It can only be adjusted by the operator, but it remains fixed while working.
CONSEQUENCES:
an inaccurate system that results in the loss of much product.

AUTOMATIC OPENING

The opening of plates constantly changes to match the different sizes of the corn stalks, with independent work on each row.
ADVANTAGES:
total harvesting without losses, corn stalk perfectly pressed, higher productivity. No operator’s intervention required.
COMPARISON BETWEEN STALK ROLLERS
ALL THE OTHER
CORN HEADS
STANDARD LENGTH

Standard peripheral rotation speed.
CONSEQUENCES:
ears violent separate from the plant, causing the loss of kernels.

LONGER

Lower peripheral rotation speed.
ADVANTAGES:
gentler separation of the ear from the plant, harvesting without losses.
COMPARISON BETWEEN STALK CHOPPERS
ALL THE OTHER
CORN HEADS
SINGLE
STALK CHOPPER

Standard shuttering.

DOUBLE STALK CHOPPER
Scissor Effect

Double shuttering of the stalks.
On each row there are fours blades working, two on one side and two on the other, with inverted rotation, like a scissors.
ADVANTAGES:
doubly shuttered stalks, finer chopping and quicker decomposition on the ground.
