Suitable for various Cereal Crops

  • Wheat

  • Barley

  • Oats

  • Flax / Linseed

  • Field Peas

Suitable for Grass seed

The stripper header has revolutionized harvest for many grass seed producers around the world. The strippers ability to comb lodged crops of ryegrass and fescue off the ground and strip the seed without taking much of the green stem into the combine increases harvesting efficiency by up to 50%. Because the combine no longer has to process so much foreign material the seed recovery rates generally improve.

Suitable for Hemp

Shelbourne stripper headers have been used globally for harvesting hemp leaves, flowers & buds for a number of years.  The action of the stripping rotor combs through the fibrous stalk removing the seeds, buds & leaves with little damage to the fragile crop and therefore maximizing the CBD oil content available.

  • A Traditional combine would not be suitable for harvesting hemp for oil production without considerable modification because of the fibrous nature of the crop where it has a tendency to wrap on exposed shafts etc. Also the harvested crop is delicate once harvested and the oil content will be effected by excessive handling.
  • A Forage harvester has been a successful method to both power the header and transfer the harvested crop into trailers. However the size of the header is restricted by the lift capacity and limited lifting height of the harvester.
  • An alternative method is to mount the header onto a tractor front end loader and operate the header hydraulically. Again the header size needs to be matched to the tractor along with the hydraulic flow rate. Customers have then fabricated a discharge conveyors to carry the harvested material to a trailer.

 

 

 

CVS - Variable Speed Drive System

The CVS models utilize the proven variable speed belt drive system, rotor speed is adjusted with an electric actuator on the drive pulley in conjunction with a posi-torque spring tension system fitted to the front pulley.

The in cab monitor allows the operator to adjust the speed of the stripping rotor by controlling an electric actuator that adjusts the drive pulley. The speed of the rotor and the auger are displayed and includes an alarm system to aid the operator.

Features

Heavy Duty Pozi Torque Drive Pulley
3 Spigot rear pulley
Speed Range 420-800rpm
Electric Actuator Control
In cab monitor & alarm system

CSD - High Torque Drive System (HTD)

The CSD models utilize the proven High Torque Drive system, the drive transmits maximum power to the stripping rotor via a high torque timing belt. The speeds can be adjusted by swapping a combination of 3 pulleys and tensioning the belt by adjusting the pivoting gearbox which maximizes the overall belt wrap. Its overall design is simple and requires minimal maintenance.

The speed of the rotor and the auger are displayed on the monitor in cab which includes an alarm system to aid the operator.

Features

High torque timing belt
4 speed ranges
3 pulleys 56t, 64t & 72t
Sprung pivoting gearbox for belt tension

1. Stripping Fingers

8 Rows of stripping fingers are arranged on the rearwards rotating rotor. They can be orientated either cups up (aggressive) or cups down (non-aggressive) depending upon the crop to be harvested. Hard threshing dryland wheat needs aggressive fingers whereas easy threshing soft wheat requires non aggressive fingers

2. CVS - Rotor Drive System

The CVS utilizes the proven variable speed belt drive system, rotor speed is controlled using an electronic cab mounted monitor. An electric actuator controls the drive pulley in conjunction with a posi-torque spring tension system fitted to the front pulley.

3. CSD - Rotor Drive System

The CSD Utilizes the proven High Torque Drive (HTD) System transmitting maximum power to the stripping rotor via a high torque timing belt. The speeds can be adjusted by swapping a combination of 3 pulleys and tensioning the belt by adjusting the pivoting gearbox which maximizes the overall belt wrap. Its overall design is simple and requires minimal maintenance.

4. Cab Monitor

The in cab monitor allows the operator to adjust the speed of the stripping rotor by controlling an electric actuator that adjusts the drive pulley. The speed of the rotor and the auger are displayed and include an alarm system to aid the operator.

5. Adjustable Crop Deflector

This is adjusted up and down using the combines reel lift and lower control and is used to control the stripping rotor intake in different height crops

6. Top Hood

The top hood serves two purposes, firstly it seals the area above the auger to prevent any grain or dust escaping. The underside of the top hood acts as a deflector, taking the crops stream from the underside of the adjustable crop deflector and directing it into the bottom of the auger trough.

7. Auger

The auger operates at a fixed speed between 180rpm and 200rpm depending upon the combine output speed, it is driven via a mechanical slip clutch. The auger is fitted with specially shaped centre mounted spiral paddles, these feed the grain rearwards into the feederhouse from the header.

8. Adaptor Plate System

The CVS range incorporates a fixed adaptor plate system than can be used to adjust fore and aft header pitch. Adaptors are available for most modern combines.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The auger is fitted with a slip clutch, this can slip if an excessive amount of straw is picked up at too high a ground speed.

    The rotation of the rotor very successfully harvests crops lying on the ground because it has a picking up action.

    Not really, the stripper head works by a rotary mechanical action rather than air flow.

    No, the rotary action of the header is very gentle on the grain making the Shelbourne header popular with seed growers. The fact that most of the threshing is done in the header means that the threshing system of the combine can be slowed down to avoid grain damage, worst case scenario is over ripe soft wheat.

    With combine engine speed at idle, engage the header drive and then the combine separator, causing the combine separator and the header to engage at the same time, reducing the snatch in the header drive line.

    The CVS and XCV range of headers are equipped with a variable speed belt drive system enabling the operator to adjust the rotor speed using a cab mounted switch. The RSD the pulleys are swapped to give a different ratio.

    You adjust the height of the crop deflector according to the height of the crop and then lower the whole header so that the crop gently brushes underneath the crop deflector.

    The up-wards rotation of the rotor tends to kick rocks out in front rather than picking them up.

    The rotating rotor mounted in the front of the header combs through the crop feeding the heads back into the keyhole area of the stripping finger where the grain is stripped from the head and thrown backwards into the header. The majority straw remains standing whilst the combine processes predominantly grain.

    There is enough foreign material such as leaf and straw to enable it to feed up into the combine.

    85% of the grain is threshed in the header, it will be necessary to set the combine a little differently in order to attain the normal 50 to 100% capacity increase associated with a Shelbourne header.
