BETTER AND MOREEFFICIENT THRESHINGAND SEPARATINGThe Gleaner A6 Series rotor applies a smart design to the critical intake, threshing, separation anddischarge tasks involved in the high-capacity rotary threshing system. By threshing in multiple, controlledpasses, gently permitting the grain to fall through the concaves in combination with centrifugal forceover the separator grates, the rotor’s harvesting action improves crop quality, reduces losses and lowersoperating costs.Perhaps the single biggest issue that faces axial combines is the bottleneck created when the materialshifts direction as it moves from the feeder house into the rotor. To solve this problem, a patented18-inch (457 mm) helical-vane feeder smoothly accelerates the crop off the feed chain and feedsthe rotor on a capacity-boosting full 360 degrees of intake. Extra heavy edge-hardened fl ightingfeeds the crop uniformly into the thresher. The result is Controlled Threshing and Feedingthat reduces the bottlenecks that plague so many of our competitor’s machines.The A6 Series rotor is the longest in the industry at 140 inches (3,556 mm)and uses six rows of rasp bars in the threshing area and three rows in theseparator area. The rotor also features twenty-one rotor knives and anadditional three rows of fi ve separator paddles.The rotor is driven by a constant-speed hydrostatic system thatdraws its power from a hydraulic pump driven directly off the engine.Full-pressure hydrostatic rotor drive maintains speed even whenengine rpm drop. It reverses at the fl ip of an in-cab switch.
The rotor is powered by a hydrostatic systemfully regulated by electronic control of oil fl ow androtor speed. A three-speed heavy-duty planetarygearbox drives the rotor on the A86.160 degrees of concave wrap and exclusivepivoting clearance adjustment allow forbetter distribution on the A86.The A6 rotor’s patented direct discharge throwsmaterial directly out of the thresher, eliminatingthe need for discharge beaters. The simple butadvanced design minimizes unnecessary strawdamage, as well as eliminating horsepowerrobbingdrives, shafts and belts.The patented intake uses edge-hardened fl ightingto feed crop into the threshing system positivelyyet nonaggressively. Material moves effi ciently withminimal damage to grain due to the new extendedbar design.THE GRAIN-CLEANING SYSTEMUnlike systems that push or pull material into therotor, the Controlled Feeding and Threshing System(CFTS) maintains full control of the crop mat fromthe wide feeder house through the crop-hungryrotor. Thanks to helical-vane feeding, there's nopinching, bunching or twisting that can negativelyaffect threshing performance.Grain pan with sloped cascade design takes advantage of the full cleaning area eliminating the use of augersfound on competitive machines.
