Corn harvesting
When it comes to harvest time, every minute counts, and harvesting at the right time and under the right conditions is crucial to achieving good results. The corn harvesting adapter used for harvesting must be reliable and able to perform its task without any loss of seeds.
We have extended the testing of our OptiCorn product family to remote countries such as the Republic of South Africa, where we had to perform well even among crop yields that are significantly higher than those in Europe, ranging from 18-a20 tons/ha. We are pleased to report that our adapter has passed with flying colors.

OptiCorn Snapping unit
Side extensions for
minimizing grain loss.
The design of the feed augers
ensures a consistent material
flow
Aluminum covers and row
dividers with steel reinforcement.
They can also be requested in
plastic version.
Rubber plates for
protecting against
flying corn pipes
Knives
The knives of the stalk
chopper perfectly cover the
area of the breaking rollers,
resulting in perfect shredding.
Replaceable knives
The replaceable knives on the
breaking rollers are coated
with hard metal, which helps
with better straw pulling.
Stalk chopper
High-performance stalk chopper
with a speed of 2,450 revolutions
per minute, capable of chopping
the stalk residue to a length
of 5-6 cm.
Protective Switch
Overload protection -
Safety switch at every row
Breaking rollers
Extended breaking rollers
for gentle stalk pulling,
allowing for a clean job at
working speeds ranging
from 8 to 11 km/h
Semi-automatic chain tensioner
Reliably tensions the chain. The tension of the chain can be easily adjusted with easy access.
Tensioning sprocket
Made of heat-treated steel. It has an ideal diameter, which contributes to the fact that the snapping unit is less sensitive to the connector rows.
The special bearing arrangements ofthe breaking rollersdo not require
daily maintenance or greasing. Two deep-groove, sealed ball bearings are
built into a self-aligning housing, which is a completely maintenance-free solution
Closed side drive
The side drive operates in a completely enclosed system that is free from dust and contaminants, making it maintenance-free and providing users with a longer lifespan than average.
Side drive
We have removed the lubrication
points from the gearbox and
sealed the side drive, thus further
protecting it and simplifying
maintenance
We use a reinforced, ¾” duplex
chain - in case of changing the
harvester, the speed can be
adjusted by changing the
sprockets
Maintenance
The lubrication points of the
auger have also been led out of
the drive housing, which
simplifies maintenance
The chain tension can be
adjusted from outside of the
drive housing
Snapping unit row
Line-by-line protection
Cardan connection
The Snapping Units are equipped with line-by-line protection. The safe operation is ensured by a PTO connection between the snapping units.
It needs to be greased once before the season, otherwise it is maintenance-free.
The snapping unit is driven by: one-sided drive system from 2 to 5 rows and a two-sided drive system from 6 to 12 rows
The reinforced cover plate
serves as protection for the row of
snapping units against
mechanical impact.
Drive console

The position of the drive shaft
can be adjusted to the operator
combine's TLT. The drive
position can be changed in case
of a combine replacement.
Stubble stompers
The stubble stompers serve the protection of the combine’s rubber, it is also possible to install double (2 pairs) for wider tires.
AUTO HEADER HEIGHT CONTROL
The ground tracker ensures the optimal stubble height through automatic height control, resulting in excellent stubble appearance.
"Corn saver" rubber extension
The rubber collars attached to each row minimize grain loss.
Sunflower Kit / Sunflower inserts
Thanks to the sunflower kit that can be mounted on the OptiCorn corn header, sunflowers can be harvested with a simple conversion.
Rotary row divider
