CLAAS CEREAL

Here is an overview of the most important harvesting parts that fit Claas combine harvesters.

1. Cutting knives and scythes:
Cutting knives (scythes):

The knives are the basic components of the cutting mechanism in the header of a combine harvester. They are available in different lengths and shapes to fit specific Claas models. Replacing knives is key to maintaining sharpness and cutting efficiency.
Knife fingers: protective and guiding elements for cutting knives that help maintain proper knife alignment and protect against damage. Fingers are available in a variety of designs to suit Claas harvester models.
Cutting beams:

Cutting beams, also known as cutting bars, are the parts on which the knives are mounted. Regular inspection and replacement of these parts is important to maintain an even and efficient cut.

2 Harvesting chains and conveyors:
Incline conveyor chains:

These chains carry the grain from the heaper to the thresher. They must be able to withstand heavy loads and dirt. Proper tension and regular lubrication are key to their longevity.
Auger and belt conveyors:

They are used to transport grain in the heder and inclined conveyor. Conveyors must be in good condition to ensure a smooth flow of grain without blockages or losses.

3. threshing drums and flails:
Threshing drum:

The threshing drum is the central component of the thresher in a Claas combine, responsible for separating grain from the ears. Regularly checking the condition of the drum and its bearings is crucial to prevent damage and loss of productivity.
Threshing ceps:

The ceps are components of the threshing drum that are directly responsible for the threshing process. Worn ceps can lead to incomplete grain separation and higher losses. Replacing or sharpening the ceps is essential to maintain quality operation.

4 Screen elements and threshing floor:
Staves:

Staves are responsible for the initial separation of grain from straw and crop residue. Different types of staves are available for different crops and working conditions and can be customized to meet the specific needs of the Claas combine.
Screens:

Sieves are a key component of a combine's cleaning system, responsible for separating grain from chaff and other debris. Choosing the right screens depends on the type of grain being harvested and the desired quality of cleaning.

5 Shafts, gears and bearings:
Drive shafts and gears:

Shafts and gears are responsible for transmitting power to the various working components of the combine harvester. Regular inspection and maintenance of these parts is essential to prevent breakdowns and maintain high operating efficiency.
Bearings:

It is important to regularly inspect and lubricate bearings, especially in areas subject to heavy loads and contamination. Replacing worn bearings is key to preventing damage to other components.

6. Sprockets, belts and chains:
Sprockets:

Used in power transmission mechanisms such as the drive of threshers, conveyors and straw distributors. Sprockets must be regularly inspected for wear and properly lubricated.
V-belts and drive belts:

Belts are used to transfer power between different mechanisms. Replacing worn or damaged V-belts is key to ensuring smooth operation of the combine and avoiding costly downtime.

7 Harvester and Harvester Components:
Harvester fingers:

Elements of the header that help feed grain to the cutting mechanism. Damaged or bent header fingers can cause uneven grain harvesting, so their regular inspection and replacement is essential.
Intake auger:

The auger is responsible for transporting grain from the edge of the header to the center, from where it is fed to the inclined conveyor. Regularly checking the condition of the auger and its blades is important to prevent blockages and grain losses.

8 Control systems and sensors:
Yield and loss sensors:

Modern Claas combines are equipped with sensors that monitor yield and grain losses. Regular maintenance and calibration of these systems is key to accurately assessing work performance and optimizing harvesting processes.
Electronic control systems:

Systems that monitor and control the operation of the harvester, such as CEBIS or GPS PILOT. Replacement and maintenance of electronic components, including screens, sensors and control modules, is essential to maintain precise machine operation.

9 Accessories and additional equipment:
Adapters and attachments for different crops:
Claas combines can be equipped with a variety of adapters and attachments for harvesting other crops, such as corn, sunflowers and canola. Choosing the right accessories allows you to optimize your harvest in different conditions.
Choosing the right harvesting parts for Claas combines is key to ensuring reliable and efficient operation during harvesting. Proper maintenance and replacement of worn parts allows you to maximize the potential of your machines and minimize downtime.
