Threshing system. ore pre-acceleration. APS.
Unique APS threshing system.
The distinct competitive edge of CLAAS appears well before the threshing drum. The dramatic acceleration of the crop flow from 3 m/s to 20 m/s enables a series of extremely efficient processes:
- The pre-accelerator separates the crop
- The crop flow is particularly even and up to 33% faster
- Higher centrifugal forces sort considerably more grains
- Up to 30% of all grains are already separated in the pre-separation concave directly below the accelerator, significantly reducing the load on the main concave
Thus there is a net performance increase of up to 20% with no rise in fuel consumption. APS really pays off.
