Higher throughput
At the core of the MF FORTIA
range of combines is the huge,
heavy-duty Advanced Technology
Rotor (ATR) which, at 700mm
diameter on the MF 9695 and
9795 and 800mm diameter on the
MF 9895, combined with an overall
length of 3.55m on all models,
provides levels of crop throughput
that, until now, cereal producers
could only dream about.
Hydrostatically driven, the rotor
enables a significant boost in
operational efficiency to be
achieved through its ability to
harvest at a constant rotor speed,
which means any output and top
grain quality are maintained.
The constant speed rotor control
system maintains the selected
rotor speed even though the crop
yield may vary or engine speed
change. An overload alarm senses
maximum rotor capacity and
provides a warning to the operator
to reduce rotor blockages. The
rotor can be reversed remotely
from the cab to remove any
blockage that may occur.
The smooth, flexible three-speed
rotor drive gearbox provides
selection of the optimum speed
range to match the rotor speed
and drive torque to the crop
harvest conditions. Capacity is
maximised and fuel consumption
minimised. The MF 9695 and
MF 9795 are equipped with a two-
speed rotor drive gearbox.
Unbeatable Threshing
Performance
Meticulous attention to detail
in the design and build of the
four key sections of the rotor
– intake, threshing, separation
and discharge – has ensured a
seamless passage of the crop
through the combine.
The MF FORTIA Series’ heavy-duty rotor ensures a significant
boost to crop throughput, previously unheard of.
Intake
Great care has been taken to
ensure that as little as possible of
the throughput is damaged in any
way, as the crop is fed into the
rotor head through the full-width
front feeder. The helical vanes
distribute the crop evenly as it
moves through into the threshing
area.
Just below the front feeder,
stones and other foreign objects
are deflected into the stone trap,
which can be emptied easily by
pulling a lever on the combine’s
right-hand side.
Threshing and Separating
Adjustable from the cab, the
concave is equipped with a unique
sectional design and support
linkage that adjusts from both
sides of the concave to provide
uniform clearance around the
entire 160 degrees of wrap. The
threshing elements are coated with
tungsten carbide and the rasp bars
chrome hardened to extend their
efficient working life.
Discharge
The front to rear design of the
rotor means there is no need for
an additional beater for effective
discharge – resulting in greater
fuel savings. The straw can either
be laid straight into a swath or
diverted through the min-till
chopper.
