Claas is placing its newest technology maize pickers within the Rovio 4 sequence to work within the 2024 maize harvest.
That includes a brand new hood design with strengthened drive and additional technical enhancements, they now convey even larger productiveness, decrease losses and enhanced chopping high quality to the maize harvest.
Throughout the Rovio 4 sequence, 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 fully re-engineered to attain as much as 30% larger throughput than its predecessor.
The linear choosing rollers that includes larger rotational pace and fixed throughput pace be certain that cobs are cleanly picked with out loss beneath all harvesting circumstances. With solely negligible quantities of residual crop getting into the mix harvester, separation and cleansing is diminished 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 larger crop volumes to be processed.
The redesigned hood suggestions with a flat working angle of 17 levels guarantee mild crop dealing with even beneath tough circumstances or when cornering, and permit larger floor speeds.
Moreover, the modern hood design is appropriate for harvesting lodged maize. Lodged maize aspect augers are optionally accessible. The spacing between the choosing plates could be hydraulically adjusted from the operator’s seat to go well with the harvesting circumstances.
The wear and tear components fitted within the hoods could be changed simply if obligatory and the peak of the guidelines could be adjusted shortly with out instruments via a easy screw mechanism. The hoods will also be folded with out instruments. Having only one central oil chamber significantly 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 occasions have been diminished by 33%. Moreover, the diminished total size of the hood suggestions within the FC fashions has eradicated the necessity for folding – considerably lowering organising and switch occasions.
Switching to sunflower harvesting can also be fast and easy. All it’s a must to do is flip the feeder chain spherical after which match inflexible knives to the choosing plates together with aspect 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 robotically 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 modify lateral levelling and chopping top on the idea of the knowledge from the sensors. The required chopping top could be simply set in Cebis.
Automated steering is offered by the built-in Auto Pilot system, which scans two rows of vegetation 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 knowledge similar to 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.
