Claas is placing its newest technology maize pickers within the Rovio 4 collection to work within the 2024 maize harvest.
That includes a brand new hood design with strengthened drive and additional technical enhancements, they now deliver even better productiveness, decrease losses and enhanced chopping high quality to the maize harvest.
Inside the Rovio 4 collection, Claas has added a next-generation maize picker with six, eight and 12 rows to its vary of entrance attachments for Evio, Trion and Lexion which replaces the earlier Corio maize pickers. It has been utterly re-engineered to attain as much as 30% increased throughput than its predecessor.
The linear choosing rollers that includes increased rotational pace and fixed throughput pace be sure that cobs are cleanly picked with out loss beneath all harvesting situations. With solely negligible quantities of residual crop getting into the mix harvester, separation and cleansing is decreased to a minimal.
The 4 bolt-on knives per choosing curler have a wear-resistant tungsten carbide coating. Elevated overload safety for the choosing gearbox and consumption curler allows increased crop volumes to be processed.
The redesigned hood ideas with a flat working angle of 17 levels guarantee light crop dealing with even beneath troublesome situations or when cornering, and permit increased floor speeds.
Moreover, the modern hood design is appropriate for harvesting lodged maize. Lodged maize facet augers are optionally out there. The spacing between the choosing plates may be hydraulically adjusted from the operator’s seat to swimsuit the harvesting situations.
The wear and tear components fitted within the hoods may be changed simply if crucial and the peak of the ideas may be adjusted shortly with out instruments via a easy screw mechanism. The hoods may also be folded with out instruments. Having only one central oil chamber vastly simplifies upkeep operations.
The repositioned, built-in horizontal choppers assure exact, even chopping even at excessive floor speeds. Tungsten carbide-coated knives sharpened on three sides obtain exact, efficient chopping with a low energy requirement – supported by optimally coordinated feeder chain, choosing curler and chopper speeds.
Within the FC fashions, the folding instances have been decreased by 33%. Moreover, the decreased general size of the hood ideas within the FC fashions has eradicated the necessity for folding – considerably decreasing organising and switch instances.
Switching to sunflower harvesting can also be fast and easy. All it’s important to do is flip the feeder chain spherical after which match inflexible knives to the choosing plates together with facet hood extensions and a raised rear wall panel. A brand new adapter additionally allows it to be mounted to the Jaguar forage harvester for harvesting whole-crop maize silage.
Auto Contour exactly and mechanically adjusts the transverse and longitudinal motion of the entrance attachment to the bottom contours detected by a sensing bracket – now mounted one row additional in, enabling it to work reliably even on the crop margins.
Hydraulic rams on the feeder housing steady regulate lateral levelling and chopping top on the premise of the data from the sensors. The required chopping top may be simply set in Cebis.
Automated steering is supplied by the built-in Auto Pilot system, which scans two rows of crops concurrently with its central sensors and interprets this enter into corresponding steering actions. The electromagnetic system identifies and compensates for gaps within the crops and operates with row widths of as much as 80 cm.
All Rovio 4 maize pickers are outfitted with multi-couplers and automated attachment recognition, together with upkeep counter and saved cutterbar information reminiscent of finish stops, Auto Contour goal values and far more. This reduces the time required for attachment and organising earlier than use to a minimal – guaranteeing lightening-fast operational readiness.
