Capello Helianthus harvester for sunflower

Appearance and quality of materials

Capello uses exclusively high-quality and expensive Swedish steel, which guarantees reliability and durability. An important feature is the perfect welds and the absence of gaps or gaps. All seams and corners are manually sealed with a special sealant before painting. Only then is expensive powder coating applied to ensure resistance to corrosion and damage. This is especially important given the working conditions of the equipment in the fields, where dust, dirt and moisture always penetrate every corner.

Cheap metal and low-quality paint can quickly lead to paint fading, corrosion, and other problems. Capello ensures that its headers remain reliable and efficient even after many years of operation.

Working principle and performance

The Helianthus headers are designed for harvesting sunflower in different row spacing, from 40 centimeters to one meter. They are available in three versions: seven and a half meters, nine and a half meters and twelve meters of working width. This equipment can be easily combined with all known combine models.

However, the main advantage of the Helianthus header is its unique operating principle. The Capello is equipped with reels with metal guards that not only protect against ejected baskets and wrapped stems during operation, but also bend the plants forward during harvesting. This makes it possible to mow only the baskets, leaving the stems intact. Even if there are plants of different heights in the field, the reel casing bends them equally, ensuring high productivity.

This simple technical innovation avoids the need for additional shafts or rollers on the bottom of the header, which simplifies its design and reduces weight. This not only reduces the combine's energy consumption, but also reduces maintenance costs.

In particular, the reels are equipped with cleaning brushes along their entire length, which, while rotating, clean the elevator from accumulated debris and residues, ensuring clean crop during harvesting. This is very important, as clean mass contributes to more efficient operation of the combine.

Capello Helianthus is always equipped with a German cutting unit from the well-known manufacturer Schumacher, which guarantees the highest quality and durability. Now that we have considered the design features of the header, let's move on to the main advantages of this equipment.

One of the biggest advantages of the Helianthus header is the hydraulic height adjustment of the reel during harvesting. This feature makes it easy to adapt the header to different conditions and crop material. Many other manufacturers do not provide this option or require manual raising and lowering of the reel, which takes a lot of time and effort. Capello makes the process much easier.

All of these features make the Helianthus header ideal for sunflower harvesting. It guarantees efficient and reliable operation while maintaining the quality of the harvested crop. Choose the Helianthus capello for the best results in your farming!

Another advantage of the Helianthus header is the ability to easily adjust the height of the reel directly from the combine cab. This allows you to customize the cutting height and mass flow rate individually to your conditions and needs. This flexibility allows you to achieve the best possible results during harvesting.

However, the biggest and true hidden advantage of the Helianthus is the hydraulic reel drive. In other similar reapers, you will not find either hydraulic reel height adjustment or hydraulic reel drive. In these machines, all reels are driven by a chain mechanism from the auger. Let's say you have to rotate the header scythe, auger and reel. You can imagine in advance how energy-intensive this design is for your combine. You need a very powerful combine to handle this load. Add to this the weight of the auger and reel, especially on a 9-meter header, where each weighs approximately 300 kilograms. Now think how much lighter your combine becomes when you don't have to turn 300 kilograms more. This reduces wear and fuel consumption by 20-25 percent. What's more, the hydraulic reel motor offers another important advantage not found on other headers. You can now adjust the reel speed independently of the entire header, which allows you to adjust the throughput of the entire header.

By the way, the distance between the covers and the augers on the Helianthus is much larger than on similar reapers. This is important because this distance allows the flow of the baskets to move smoothly without damage and without ejecting sunflower seeds. You can therefore harvest at a higher speed with a higher throughput, without additional stress and costs. This has a positive impact on productivity and cost.

All in all, all these features make the Helianthus ideal for sunflower harvesting. It guarantees efficient and reliable operation, ensuring the best results in your farming. Choose the Helianthus capello to achieve your goals and save money.
