OPTISUN HZ ADAPTERS
INTRODUCING THE OPTISUN HZ ADAPTERS
Efficient and simple sunflower harvesting and stalk management
For sunflower harvesting headers which can be attached to combines, the stalk crushing performed simultaneously is very advantageous. It saves time and energy, protects the soil from compaction, and prevents potentially extensive damage to machines moving on the sunflower stubble
The solution is in the details
Vibrating catch pan harvesting mechanism for low grain loss
Two row segment modular design for auto header height control
The stalk crusher is pressed to the ground by a hydraulic cylinder, which can be controlled from the cab
The continuous pressure on the rollers is provided by elastic elements
Long-life, hard facing knives
Ground driven. No separate drive system
Two operations in one pass with 100% stubble clearance
The OptiSun HZ adapter, with its knife roller rolling on the ground, performs everything expected of it:
- Harvesting and stalk crushing in one pass – reducing time requirement, fuel consumption, and soil compaction.
- 100% stubble clearance – no standing sunflower stalks remain.
- Stalks knocked down in one direction – advantageous for disking
- Small-sized chopped material – decomposition improves
- Roots lifted/exposed from the soil – reduction of pests
- The residue remaining after the machine does not damage the tyres, radiator, wiring, or covers of the combine and tractor
Strength in simplicity
Key Features:
- Cutting height: 50–150 cm
- Hydraulic height adjustment
- Hydro-accumulator ground contour following system – the continuously loaded roller rolling on the ground knocks down all stalks.
- Simple design – minimal maintenance requirements
- Ground-driven – does not require a separate drive from the combine
- Working speed: 8 - 10 km/h
