The crops cannot be accumulated on the vibrating catch pansmounted in between the rows, and therefore seeds reach the gathering augers and thefeeder with no losses. The moving lifters raise even the bent or fallen stalks, and thereforethe yield can be harvested even from these stalks.The design of the side walls ensures proper row separation, thereby preventing the disksof the exterior lines from falling out.The crushing structure is driven hydraulically.The power is transmitted from the combine’sfeeder via the cardan shaft. The hydraulicsystem of the crusher is independent from thehydraulic system of the combine.The stalk crusher structure has as manyvertical-axle rotors as the number of the rowsto be harvested, and they have bearings in pairs,in shared housings.The stalk crusher can be operated in soilduplication mode.The structure is elevated and depressed by thehydraulic system of the operating combine.Advantages that are also characteristicof OptiSun:• Minimum seed loss;• Easy handling;• Simple connectivity to the combine;• Minimum maintenance demand;• Low operating costs;• Quick and blocking-free material flow evenunder bad harvesting conditions;• High field performance.Additional advantages that are characteristic ofonly PSM:• Harvesting and stalk crushingin the same phase;• Option for immediate soil tilling after harvesting;• Reduced soil treading damage;• Chips are spread on the stubble fieldby the stalk crusher;• No damage on the rubber tyre treadby the stalk stumps;• No damage by the stalk stumpson the low-mounted units of the combineor transportation vehicles.The crushing structure demands cc. 10% additionalfuel consumption.Savings:• power and machine demand of stalk crushing,• as well as their fuel and labour costs.PSM adapters has been designed to fold under theadapter in the elevated position of the stalk crusherstructure in order to ensure proper use in low-grownor bent stocks similarly to traditional adapters.Working speed range: 8–10 km/hHarvest loss: 0,4–0,5%For standing sunflower stocksof normal density.The PSM sunflower adapters areavailable with plastic or steel liftersupon customer’s demand. Use ofplastic lifters result smoother andmore gentle lifting of the sunflowerstalks/heads, furthermore feature ex-cellent corrosion resistance.The PSM series adapters are equipped with aspecial connecting frame, which provides quickcoupling to any combine makes specified bythe customer.On placing order of your PSM sunfloweradapter – for the right connecting frame –,please specify exact type and year of manu-facturing of your combine.
