Processor

Slugging or overloading of cylinder

Possible Cause

Correction

Engine not up to correct speed.

Adjust engine high idle to proper
speed.

Cylinder drive belt slipping.

Check condition of belt and replace or
clean if it becomes worn or oily. Check
and lubricate gearbox input torque
sensor mechanism.

Too much material entering cylinder.

Reduce ground travel speed.

Cylinder bars worn or damaged.

Replace cylinder bars.

Concave twisted, worn excessively or
damaged.

Repair concave.

Concave plugged with mud or dirt, etc.

Clean concave.

Cage helical bars worn or damaged.

Repair helical bars and be sure they are
properly aligned.

Cage door assembly not aligned.

Align door assembly by adjusting
alignment bolts to form a smooth inner
surface in the cage.

Cylinder discharge paddles worn or
damaged.

Replace discharge paddles.

Discharge impeller or straw chopper
drives slipping.

Repair by checking and replacing worn
belts and damaged sheaves. Adjust
belt tensions.

Uneven feed to cylinder.

Refer to section on

UNEVEN OR BUNCHED

FEEDING (PG. 16).

Crop too damp or green.

Wait for crop conditions to improve.

Crop extremely difficult to convey.

Install edible bean kit across the cage.
(Such as edible beans and sunflowers).
