Introduction
Corn is one of the most widely grown food crops in the world and an important feed crop.
As our living conditions improve, the demand for such crops has also greatly increased.
So, for farmers, if they want to export and sell more corn crop products,
More plants must be planted, which requires the use of agricultural machinery and equipment to complete and transportation.
The harvest of corn is an important link in agricultural production.
Traditional corn harvesting methods are inefficient and labor-intensive.
Therefore, the emergence of corn combine harvester has greatly improved the efficiency and quality of corn harvesting.
If you don’t know much about this kind of harvester, don’t miss the product information shared by ANON below.
We believe that our agricultural machinery and equipment can meet everyone’s farm needs.
What is a Corn Combine Harvester?
First of all, ANON needs to answer questions from farmers who are not familiar with this equipment.
What exactly is a corn combine harvester, basic information about this equipment, and other questions.
It integrates the functions of harvesting, peeling, and de-hulling, which can greatly improve the efficiency of corn harvesting.
Compared with traditional manual harvesting, corn harvesters have significant advantages of being fast, saving labor, and increasing yields.
Therefore, if you want to complete large-scale crop harvester work,
It is necessary to use one or more agricultural machinery and equipment, which is of great help to our time and capital costs.
What are the Benefits of Corn Combine Harvester
Increased Efficiency
The corn combine can harvest a large amount of corn in a short time, saving labor and resources compared to manual work. Besides harvesting, the corn combine also completes tasks like threshing, separating stalks, and removing debris all at once, greatly improving efficiency.
Improved Yield and Quality
Compared to traditional corn harvesting methods, the corn combine is more precise, reducing losses during the harvest. It completes multiple tasks in one step, minimizing the loss and waste of corn kernels and stalks.
Sustainability
The corn combine also has a stalk processing device that can chop the stalks and return them to the field. This helps improve soil structure and increase soil fertility, supporting sustainable agriculture.
How a Harvester Works
Next, let’s introduce in detail how the combine harvester completes the harvesting work.
While working, the combine drives slowly along the field.
When the harvester encounters the mature corn cobs, the device at the front end will cut off the corn cobs.
A conveyor belt transports the cut cobs along with the leaves into the machine.
In this part, the high-speed rotating grinding device will knock the corn kernels off the cob core and separate them.
The shelled corn kernels will enter the grain storage tank through the conveying pipe.
The leaves, cores, etc. are discharged through the port.
The working process of the corn combine harvester can be divided into the following steps:
Step 1
First, when you drive the corn combine harvester into the field, the divider will guide the corn to the roller and then to the straw chain, which will push the corn stalks to the cutter.
Step 2
The corn will then enter the ear-picking rollers. A pair of ear-picking rollers will move relative to each other in opposite directions, pulling the corn stalks downwards. The corn will be picked off because it is too large and cannot be flattened, and the corn stalks will be chopped up by the rotating blades under the ear-picking rollers.
Step 3
The separated corn husks are transported to the first elevator through the screw, and the ears are transported to the upper part and slide down to the husk peeling device.
The husk peeling device consists of several pairs of husk peeling rollers and impeller-type press conveyors. The husk peeling rollers turn inward, bite and tear the husk of the corn, and the husk is discharged out of the machine.
Step 4
The corn cobs with the husks removed will be lifted to the second elevator and enter the threshing device, which consists of a roller with blade patterns and a metal grid. The corn is threshed by friction with the roller and the grid, and the corn cobs are discharged from the machine.
Step 5
The corn kernels pass through the grille and enter the vibrating screen. The airflow generated by the fan blows out the light impurities in the corn, and the cleaned corn kernels fall into the granary.
How a Combine Harvester Removes Corn from the Cob
For farmers who need to purchase this type of harvester,
In addition to understanding the basic information of machines and equipment,
Also wondering how a corn combine harvester removes corn from the cob.
It is very simple. During the cutting process of the combine harvester, the knife will cut the corn cob from the root.
The metal gears and hammers inside the thresher will knock the corn kernels off the cob.
And collect it into the collection box through the conveying system.
In this way, farmers can collect and preserve the corn kernels in the grain bins for subsequent processing and sales.
How We Use a Combine Harvester
After we purchase the harvester equipment, how do farmers harvest corn with corn combine harvester? How do they operate it?
Before using a combine harvester, farmers first need to ensure that the harvester is in good condition,
Carry out necessary maintenance and upkeep of machinery and equipment.
Harvesting corn with a combine harvester requires certain operating skills. Here are the general steps:
(1) Preparation: Check whether all components of the combine harvester are operating normally,
And make sure you add enough fuel and lubricant.
(2) Adjust the height of the tool: According to the growth of corn,
Adjust the height of the harvesting knife to ensure the best cut.
(3) Start the engine: Start the combine harvester engine according to the instructions in the operation manual.
And adjust the engine speed to achieve the appropriate working conditions.
(4) Start harvesting: Move the combine harvester close to the corn field, advance slowly, and maintain a certain traveling speed.
At the same time, observe the cutting effect to ensure that the corn cob can be completely cut.
(5) Clean up in time: During the harvesting process, clean up blocked corn cobs or weeds and other substances in time to ensure the normal operation of the combine harvester.
(6) End harvesting: Stopping the work of the combine harvester when the field is completed.
Thoroughly clean and maintain the equipment for next use.
Summarize
Corn combine harvester is an important tool in modern production.
It greatly improves the efficiency and quality of corn through efficient and convenient working methods.
Farmers need to master correct operating skills when using combine harvesters.
to ensure the smooth operation of the equipment.
I hope this article will help you understand the working principle and operation method of the combine harvester.

We believe that ANON will provide satisfactory solutions to all farmer friends.
FAQ
What is the difference between a corn picker and a combine?
A corn picker is an agricultural machine that harvests corn by leaving the whole ear intact rather than shelling the kernels off like a conventional combine.
