Geringhoff SunLite Horizon sunflower harvester

Increasing yields and optimizing agricultural operations are urgent tasks for modern farmers. Sunflower is one of the most popular oilseeds in Ukraine, which requires efficient and high-quality harvesting. One of the key aspects of growing sunflower is choosing highly efficient harvesting equipment. This requires a reliable and precise header that ensures maximum seed yield and minimal losses.  Among the various sunflower headers, it is worth paying attention to the Geringhoff SunLite Horizon, which is a development of the SunLite model with the addition of a horizontal chopper.

Geringhoff: a reliable manufacturer

Geringhoff is a German company with more than 140 years of history, which is known for its high quality and innovative solutions in agriculture. This company always takes into account the needs of farmers and offers products that meet modern standards.

Technical characteristics of Geringhoff SunLite Horizon

The Geringhoff SunLite Horizon is a header specially designed for sunflower. It impresses with its efficiency and productivity thanks to the following specifications:

1. Working width: Depending on the model, widths from 6.2, 7.6 or 9 meters.
2. Height adjustment system: The automatic suspension height control allows you to maintain the correct height of the sunflower level.
3. Maximum distance: The distance between the header knife and the horizontal chopper is a maximum of 750 mm. With a stubble length of approx. 150 mm, the plant is picked up at a height of 870 mm. In the case of higher stubble, the crop intake can be set higher.
4. Minimum distance: The distance between the cutterbar knife and the horizontal chopper is a minimum of 300 mm. With the minimum stubble height, the sunflower plants are cut at a height of approx. 200 mm.
5. Construction: Sunflowers need to be handled with care. That is why Geringhoff engineers have given the sides of the header a slim shape to help prevent shaking and damage and reduce losses. Chains drive the header reliably.
6. Crop feeding: Gentle, careful feeding for maximum yield. The height-adjustable degressive feed roller ensures that the crop is gently guided to the feed auger, pulling the plants through gently and carefully. Thanks to its large 450 mm diameter, the roller operates at a low speed, which significantly increases the productivity and efficiency of the header.
7. Sophisticated system for lossless harvesting: The narrow cutter bar socks provide maximum flexibility when working in different row spacings. In combination with the individually adjustable feed roller, this ensures a very low-loss harvesting process.
8. High harvesting speed: The high output enables efficient harvesting even on large areas.
9. Easy adjustability: the quick-change system helps to adapt the header to different sunflower growing conditions.

Advantages of the Geringhoff SunLite Horizon

1. High quality harvest: This header carefully processes the sunflower, resulting in the best possible harvest quality. Sunflower consists mainly of plant material, which accelerates the wear of the equipment. By shredding the leaf and stem mass, you can spread it evenly over the field. This will improve the quality of the harvested crop and increase the life of the machines.
2. Take care of your equipment: Thanks to a well-thought-out chopping system, the bulk of the plant mass, which accelerates equipment wear, remains on the field. The result: a significant reduction in the load on the machines, reduced mechanical wear, and increased daily productivity.
3. Reduced losses: Thanks to technologies that prevent emissions and seed scatter, the Geringhoff SunLite Horizon helps reduce crop losses. To ensure maximum operational reliability during harvesting, each chopper gearbox is equipped with its own cam clutch. The wide side runners and spring-loaded frame guide the chopper safely across the field. The flat knife holders do not come into contact with the soil.
4. The horizontal chopper is driven by a robust and durable double-row chain. To ensure maximum operational reliability, each shredder gearbox is equipped with its own cam clutch.
5. The horizontal shredder is perfectly adapted to the body design. Oppositely rotating knives prevent clogging and, thanks to the high rotation speed, produce a clean cut of the plant even in the most difficult harvesting conditions. The choppers are driven by maintenance-free gearboxes that are lubricated for the entire service life.
6. In Ukraine, you can buy spare parts for Geringhoff on our website. We also offer spare parts for headers from other manufacturers.
7. Saving time and fuel: high productivity allows farmers to use working time and fuel efficiently.
8. Increased ride comfort thanks to the hydraulic height adjustment with a travel lever in the combine. Optical chopper height indicator. Absolutely clean cut even in the most difficult harvesting conditions.
9. Convenient maintenance: simple design and easy access to all components make maintenance of the header as convenient as possible.

The Geringhoff SunLite Horizon is a modern and productive sunflower header that meets the highest standards of quality and efficiency. Thanks to technical innovations and a reliable manufacturer, it helps farmers to increase yields and optimize agricultural operations. The Geringhoff SunLite Horizon is an investment in the future of the agricultural business that brings high levels of efficiency and profit.
