Threshing mechanism

The distinct competitive edge of CLAAS appears well before the threshing drum. Dramatically improved acceleration of the crop flow from 3 m/s to 20 m/s triggers a chain of extremely efficient processes:

This results in a net performance increase of up to 20% with no rise in fuel consumption. APS pays for itself.

In the CLAAS APS threshing system, we've succeeded in wrapping the main concave much farther around the threshing drum than in conventional machines. No other threshing unit offers an angle of wrap of 151°. You benefit from gentle but thorough threshing with a large concave clearance and low drum speed with reduced fuel consumption.

For optimal deawning and decortication, the APS threshing system is equipped with multi-level adjustment options and additional components. These include, for example, the intensive threshing unit and the deawning plates. The deawning plates are activated in mere seconds with a lever above the feeder housing. Together with the other APS benefits, the result is impressive: optimal separation efficiency combined with outstanding harvest quality.

The pre-cleaning concave is designed as a MULTICROP concave and can therefore handle any crop. The option of quickly changing two concave sieves minimised setup time and maximises efficiency
