Curved transition housing walls guide crop flow to reduce power consumption and prevent material lodgment in combine harvesters.
A pneumatic piston pushes corn cobs through a flexible spring steel annular cutter, separating kernels while accommodating varying cob diameters.
Friction grip connections using pressed wood blocks replace mechanical fasteners to eliminate weld fatigue under cyclical loading.
Segmenting airflow via a return floor outlet removes chaff early, preventing counter-flow at the upper sieve that causes grain discharge losses.
Merges sieve and clean grain pan into one assembly to reduce device complexity and system weight while maintaining structural rigidity.
Hydraulically powered linear actuators adjust rotor cage vane angles to regulate crop flow in rotary threshers.
Varying lamellae angles and positions creates a gradient of screen openings that reduces grain loss while maintaining high separation purity.
A spring arrangement in series with an actuator buffers excessive force to release the concave from the threshing rotor.
Dynamic actuator mounting eliminates arc motion, reducing vibrational stress and allowing larger sieves.
Position-changeable guide element adapts to crop moisture, preventing uneven residue distribution.
A concave air guide element redirects horizontal airflow to separate grain from chaff by eliminating turbulence at the drop step.
A rear-accessible sieve retainer uses detent elements to lock and unlock without disassembly, enabling quick component replacement.
Segmented bar pockets pivot louver wires to simplify repair and lower manufacturing costs in harvester cleaning systems.
Continuously circulating return conveyor belt prevents grain accumulation and blockages during cleaning, reducing substance loss on uneven terrain.
