Adjustment of Cylinder and Concave
1.
High cylinder speed
+ narrow concave spacing
__________________
= Good threshing action
Extreme adjustment:
Cylinder speed too high
+ concave spacing too narrow
__________________
= Overthreshing
2.
Low cylinder speed
+ wide concave spacing
__________________
= Poor threshing action
Extreme adjustment:
Cylinder speed too low
+ concave spacing too wide
__________________
= Underthreshing
3.
Basic Adjustment
· Moist crop: Increase cylinder speed and/or reduce concave spacing.
· Dry crop: Reduce cylinder speed and/or increase concave spacing.
IMPORTANT:
Cylinder speed and concave adjustments are the most important factors in obtaining good harvesting results.
