The Airbar® X adds the high-output X-model fan & chassis to the standard Airbar system for a 25% increase in total airflow. Airbar X uses a single-channel, wraparound, closed-circuit air system. With the fan and chassis centrally located on the combine header and powered by the feeder house reverser gear, the airflow travels around the back of, and across the front of the header from a single airflow channel.
Available for both draper and auger headers.
Airbar X features the high-output X-model fan chassis for a 25% increase in total airflow. The fans on all Airbar® systems are powered by a purpose-built, high-efficiency belt drive system. The drive system was designed to be easily accessible and provide smooth, efficient power.
In harvesting soy and pulse crops, traditional headers incur shatter loss at the knife when loose and low-lying pods are impact-shelled and fall back into the field or are otherwise lost or damaged. This results in profit loss and reductions in sample quality. Knives are often cluttered with debris, reducing cutting efficiency and creating unnecessary wear, breakage and downtime.
When added to a combine header, the AWS Airbar reduces or eliminates this loss of product and efficiency. The high-velocity air stream that is applied to the knife through the out-front manifold, thrusts these pods and materials across the cutting head and into the feeder-house increasing yields by as much as 4 bushels per acre on average.
The high-speed airflow keeps the cutting head clear and operating at maximum efficiency reducing equipment wear.
Air pressure keeps all loose product flowing into the feeder-house preventing these losses and increasing yields by as much as 4 bushels per acre.
Improving crop flow across the header allows for substantial increases in ground speed.
The S3 AWS Airbar creates a more even flow of material through the feeder-house by eliminating waste-material build up, increasing cutting and feeding efficiency, reducing knife and internal component wear and operating time.
