Introducing the OptiSun adapters

Harvesting sunflowers without loss of yield

During sunflower harvesting, the combine harvester’s header is the first point of contact with the plants, which requires sophisticated technology and gentle treatment of the crop. This is the key to reach the maximum yield during harvesting.

The low-profile OptiSun sunflower header, equipped with seed-collecting shaking trays, uses an eccentric-driven shaking arm to continuously transfer sunflower heads into the auger trough. The crop cannot accumulate, so the seeds are delivered to the inclined conveyor without loss. Not a single sunflower seed is left in the field, allowing more yield to be collected.

Not a single sunflower seed will remain on the field, so even more crop can be put into the seed tank. Based on measured results, it guarantees an excellent return on investment with less than 0.5% seed loss even at harvest speeds of 10-12 km/h.

3/4" duplex chain ensures
reliable power transmission.

The spare chain wheel is an
accessory used to adjust the
speed of the individual units of
the adapter according to the
requirements of the crop or the
operator.

Friction disc safety clutch to
protect the gathering worm

Spring tightened chain
mechanism

Every row is equipped with four
rotating blades and counter-blades.

Eccentrically operated shaking
arm and shaking trays for
efficient harvesting.

The ear chains arranged row by
row gently guides the sunflower
stems to the star knife cutting
mechanism. The OptiSun intake
system does not transmit
vibration to the plant, thus
preventing loss.

GONDOZÁSMENTES HAJTÁS

Side extension

The design of the side wall
ensures proper row selection,
thus preventing the plates of the
outer rows from falling out.

Protection net

The 600 mm high safety net
protects the sunflower heads
from falling out.

Row divider spikes

The optimally designed plastic
row dividers gently guide the
plant to the shaking tray.
The row dividers also lift the
bent or tilted stems, making it
possible to harvest the
crop from them as well.

Asymmetric shaking trays.

Right and left-sided trays ensure
a continuous material flow to the auger.

Large-diameter augers

With its 500 mm diameter, it
ensures a consistent crop flow
even for high-yielding crops.
