Settings Multifinger Separation System

Multifinger Separation System

The MULTI FINGER SEPARATION SYSTEM can be adjusted to aid the grain to fall out of the straw.

Pos. 1 Particularly dry straw

Pos. 3 Basic adjustment

Pos. 6 Straw with a slight wrapping tendency

Pos. 7 Special crops such as peas, flax, beans or long moist grass

Tips:

In situations where the straw is breaking up, it may be beneficial to reduce threshing speed slightly or widen the concave gap. To find the correct threshing system setting, start with the CLAAS settings in CEBIS CROP Menu and then adjust the settings to suit the conditions on the day. Please note the saved threshing unit settings will differ from that of previous generations of TRION machines.

The preparation pan is the first part of the cleaning system that the grain will come into contact with. Its function is to separate the grain and the chaff. The grain is heavier and therefore goes to the bottom, the lighter chaff goes to the top.

Cleaning

Tips: Clean the preparation trays daily, this will help keeping a clean sample.

When removing the prep trays for cleaning, blow off the top of the gear box area to remove any chaff and dust.

It is important that this is kept clean, to allow this to happen effectively. A dirty preparation pan will cause a poor sample and reduce output.

Losses

When deciding what to adjust on the combine to reduce the amount of loss, it is important to understand where the loss is coming from and what is acceptable.

Tips:

At the front of the machine

Is loss occurring before or after the cutterbar knife?

Always check the losses behind the combine after making an adjustment and then set up the monitors to show what is happening.

If it is happening before, it is not cutterbar related.

In the CEBIS machine menu, you will find an optimization guide for operator setting assistance - the same guide can be found in the CEMOS Advisor App.

At the rear of the machine

Are the losses acceptable?

Are they coming from the sieves and/or walkers?

Adjust the reel position or check the knife for damage or wear.

Fit lifters to lift any laid crop or place cutterbar into a flex mode.

If losses are excessive, make sure to check head losses in the crop in-front of the TRION, this will give the operator a more precise idea as to where the losses are originating.

Losses

After adjusting the combine, make sure that the monitors also reflect what you will accept as a loss.

Adjust monitor sensitivity so that the blue area is approaching the limit lines, the white line. This is particularly important when running CRUISE PILOT and CEMOS AUTOMATIC.

Tips:

Where are the losses coming from?

To work out what is coming from the rotors; engage the chaff spreader and disengage the chopper, then carry out a check behind the combine and lastly, count the grains on the floor.

To check the losses from the sieve; disengage the chaff spreader and engage the chopper, offset the spreader and then count the grains. Take into account what the grains look like (unthreshed heads etc.). Now, make the corresponding adjustments.

The easiest way to check for losses is in the swath with the chaff spreader and chopper disengaged. Count the number of grains within a set area - a hand print can be a sufficient guide.

Grain Tank

2. Close threshing concave flap

3. Increase drum speed

1. Decrease drum speed

Broken Grain

2. Increase concave gap

3. Open the lower sieve

Sieves

High sieve losses

1. Open upper sieve

2. Close rotor cover plates

3. Open lower sieve

4. Decrease drum speed

For the FIELD SCANNER

> Select the steering symbol (1) turn on the steering, then select the sensor.

> To activate, press the AUTOPILOT button on the multi function control handle when you are lined up with the edge of the crop.

TIP: Make sure that the width of the cutterbar has been set in the front attachment menu. Adjust the sensitivity and offset so the FIELD SCANNER follows the edge of the crop.

> Press button (2) to change the detection area that the FIELD SCANNER will work within. It will light up as follows...

> Press once, left edge of the crop: indicator light will appear white.

> Press a second time, right edge of the crop: indicator light lights up green then press a third time. Wheel track indicator light flashes white and green.

TIP: If the LASER PILOT is not steering straight ahead, check the centralising and sensitivity first in the steering menu.
