Feed-roll technology leaves no stone unturned at harvest

Written by 

AT THE Agritechnica trade fair last year, New Holland unveiled Dynamic Feed Roll technology as an option for the powerful twin-rotor combine harvesters, the CR8000 and CR9000.

 

The feed roll with its new dynamic stone protection system is installed tangentially across the two longitudinal rotors in the combine harvester, the company says.

The Dynamic Feed Roll delivers the harvested grain uniformly to the twin rotors as well as providing an effective method for stone protection on the move, by way of a stone catcher trough beneath the feed rotor. 

Many years of trials at the R&D Centre in Zedelgem have demonstrated that this feed roll delivers tangible benefits in terms of grain quality. 

Furthermore, the tests have shown that the Dynamic Feed Roll requires no additional power requirement because the improved crop delivery to the rotor area actually reduces the need for power. 

The advantages for the user are:

continuous ‘non-stop’ stone protection

excellent grain quality

improved crop flow through continuous supply to the rotor

less strain on the rotor drives

The Dynamic Feed Roll technology is being offered as an option for all CR combine harvesters from 2014 onwards.

New Holland is imported in New Zealand by C B Norwood Distributors Ltd.
