The maize pickers. Horizontal chopper. CLAAS combines also turn in a perfect maize harvesting performance when equipped with the CONSPEED and CONSPEED LINEAR maize pickers which are available as 6, 8 and 12-row variants. The 12-row variant (CONSPEED only) is rigid while the 6 and 8-row variants are available in rigid form or foldable to a width of 3 m for on-road travel. Furthermore, the CONSPEED LINEAR is available in rigid 4 and 5-row versions. This wide range means that CONSPEED and CONSPEED LINEAR maize pickers are able to cover the different performance levels of the various machines and offer you the extensive choice and versatility you expect from CLAAS. Each picking unit is equipped with a horizontal chopper. Integrated in the transmission unit, it chops the stalks intensively for fast rotting. Chopper blades sharpened on three sides ensure precise chopping while requiring only low power The tungsten-carbide coating provides effective protection against wear The blades can be changed quickly and easily as required The chopper can be shut down separately if required (CONSPEED only) Superb operation. The gathering chains run on plastic tracks giving exceptionally smooth operation and low wear. The picking plate clearance can be matched to the harvest conditions conveniently from the cab using the electro-hydraulic adjustment utility. The position is shown in CEBIS. On-road travel. Horizontal chopper. 18
CONSPEED / CONSPEED LINEAR Gentle, precise progress through the rows. Plastic hoods. The robust and durable plastic hoods ensure that the cobs have a soft landing. They can be folded up and stay in position to allow easy access to the service points. A particularly flat picking angle reduces cob losses ("cob jump-off"). The hydraulically driven laid maize augers enable problem-free maize harvesting under extreme conditions Lateral cowl extensions prevent the cobs from falling out when harvesting overripe crops Stubble breaker. Stubble breakers are fitted to the header chassis. These help to break off the sharp stubble tips, thus eliminating a source of damage to the tyres and adding to their service life. Electrohydraulic picking plate adjustment with position display in CEBIS. Stubble breaker. CONSPEED 19
CONSPEED 12-75 C to 6-70 C and 8-75 FC to 6-70 FC Powerful performance with a light touch. Powerful, yet gentle. The tapered picking rollers are a feature exclusive to the CONSPEED maize header range. Both variants (hybrid and standard rollers) contribute to the high picking speed required by the high performance combines whilst treating the cobs gently. With the hybrid rollers the function of the front attachment is matched optimally to the operating conditions. The knives in the front area of the picking roller where the greatest wear occurs are each attached with two bolts and can simply be replaced if necessary. The rear snapping blades, like all the standard rollers, have a tungsten carbide coating. This design extends the service life and helps reduce operating costs even further. There is no need for a front bearing as both picking rollers have centre bearings in the transmission - a design feature which reduces maintenance costs significantly. CONSPEED also available with 12 rows. Integrated transmission with separate protection against overload and foreign bodies. 20
The drive concept. Functional principle. Each picker unit has a compact, integrated transmission for the picking rollers, intake chains and the chopper. Each drive unit is individually protected against overload. This drive concept offers low-loss, reliable power transmission from the combine to the individual picker units via the drive shaft and transmission. Variable picking speed. Direction of travel A variator on the LEXION allows the picking speed to be adjusted automatically to the ground speed. The step drive offers another method of speed adjustment. Optimum picking speed Fast stem transportation The diagram shows clearly how the throughput speed of the maize stems increases as they pass through the picking roller. The cobs hit the picking plates at low speed. This keeps losses to a minimum while still allowing the machine to operate at a high ground speed. Furthermore, the lower stem area is chopped intensively. Variator for the picker drive. CONSPEED 21
Comfortable and reliable. The linear picking rollers. The CONSPEED LINEAR maize pickers stand out with their ease of operation and reliable technology. They are available in four, five, six or eight row versions with row widths of 70 and 75 cm. Easily set to the job in hand. The drive of the picking units of the CONSPEED LINEAR is provided by a spur gear on each side of the versions with six and eight rows. Four and five-row versions have only one spur gear on the left-hand side in the direction of travel. This low-loss power transmission system reduces fuel consumption. The speed of the picking units can be adjusted flexibly in line with the prevailing harvesting conditions simply by a change of gear wheel. A manual picking plate adjustment system is available. When harvesting maize, the cobs must be handled with the greatest care while the quantity of stalk fragments entering the combine has to be kept as low as possible. Our linear picking rollers fulfil these two requirements with no compromises. The design that makes it possible: The picking rollers have a linear design with forward mounted bearings Each picking roller is equipped with four bolt-on, adjustable blades A tungsten-carbide coating ensures high wear resistance Spiral intakes draw the stalks in positively New picking plates guide the crop to the picking roller with greater efficiency Changing gear to adjust the speed. The picking units are driven by a spur gear on each side. 22
CONSPEED LINEAR 8-75 C to 4-70 C and 8-75 FC to 6-70 FC The direct path to successful harvesting. Integrated operation. The CONSPEED LINEAR range comes with a completely new-style transmission. The drive for the picking rollers and blades is integrated in the robust transmission casing Each picking unit is separately protected against overload and foreign objects The sunflower kit. The CONSPEED LINEAR can be equipped for sunflower harvesting with a sunflower kit. This comprises a rear wall panel to minimise losses, knives between the picking plates and an additional chain guide. Overload protection for each picking unit. CONSPEED LINEAR 23
SUNSPEED 16-70 / 12-75 / 12-70 Maximum output per unit area. Convenient operation. The SUNSPEED sunflower cutterbar was developed with the goal of achieving maximum output per unit area with the lowest losses. Particular attention was paid to keeping set-up times as short as possible and making the system extremely easy to operate.
