The rotary harvesting unit is basically to be operated
in corn crop. Nevertheless, due to its capabilities, the
rotary harvesting unit is able to harvest whole-crop silage,
alfalfa, rape, field beans, millet, sunflowers and other
stalk-type plants.
The cutting system allows the crop to be harvested from
any direction. It does not matter from which direction the
harvester approaches the row. They can be approached
end-on, at right angles or at an oblique angle if so desired.
None of the stalks can escape the area covered by the
rotating blades. Although no stationary knife is used, the
fast rotating rotary blades (K) cut all the stalks within the
unit's operating width. The slowly rotating feeder house
drums (A) pass the stalks along the intake bars (B). The
stalk is seized by the row of teeth (C) as if by a gripper.
The forward motion of the gathering drums (A) forces
the crop against the feed teeth (I) and so the stalks are
conveyed along the guides and scrapers (H) to the feed
drum (E). The cross feed drums (G) force the stalks
coming from left and right end sections to pass behind the
gathering drums (A). Here the stalks come into contact
with the feed teeth (F).
From there, the stalks are transported in a constant
and compacted stream in direction (D) to the forage
harvester's feed roll.
