Shelbourne - Model RSD - High Torque Drive System (HTD)
The RSD models utilize the proven High Torque Drive system, the drive transmits maximum power to the stripping rotor via a high torque timing belt. The speeds can be adjusted by swapping a combination of 3 pulleys and tensioning the belt by adjusting the pivoting gearbox which maximizes the overall belt wrap. Its overall design is simple and requires minimal maintenance.
The speed of the rotor and the auger are displayed on the monitor in cab which includes an alarm system to aid the operator.
Harvesting rice presents a unique set of challenges, high moisture, high yields and tough separation conditions. The RSD stripper header’s unique design helps rice producers gain better returns by improving harvesting performance. The benefits of using the stripper header in rice are capacity gained through increased ground speed. It is quite common to increase a combines capacity by up to 50 to 100%. This is achieved by decreasing straw intake into the combine and generally making the combine’s job easier. Productivity increases of 100% can be achieved when harvesting in adverse conditions such as down rice.
