Drive system & gathering chains Good reasons to choose Geringhoff Always ready & perfectly tensioned The gathering chains are tensioned automatically. As the chain tensioner is tuned to the patented sprocket, the driveline is protected from blockages caused by debris and gearbox failures are avoided. Geringhoff is the only manufacturer to offer automatic tensioning for the gathering chains.

Great performance requires an exceptional drive system. Our headers are driven by a reliable crown wheel gearbox We deliberately designed a system that does without chains and belts to ensure smooth harvesting. Geringhoff uses Centaflex® couplings to connect the row units. The dampers on the couplings significantly reduce vibration and shock loads on the gearbox that drives the row unit, thereby multiplying its reliability. An excellent service life, low maintenance, great flexibility, and compatibility with different combines are truly good reasons for choosing Geringhoff.

The auger height is adjusted infinitely variably to support massive throughputs and to respond fast and easily to varying harvest conditions. The large-diameter auger feeds the crop very gently without compromising on performance. ► Infinitely variable auger height adjustment ► Gentle crop treatment ► Maximum throughputs ► Smooth and steady operation ► Quick and easy adjustment to current harvest conditions

Form follows function The trough is engineered to combine form and function in perfect harmony. Its special design suggests resistance-free crop feeds and maximum intake levels, ensuring a gentle and smooth flow into the threshing system even in high-density crops. The large number of aluminum components makes this header a lightweight contender. Consistent feeds to the threshing system Gentle crop treatment

Row unit hoods & divider tips The body scores on many details Numerous elements of the body are made of plastic to make it light in weight, maintenance-free and highly resistant to wear and ensure dependable operation even after many hours of harvesting. There is no need to replace the hoods. The extremely lightweight and reliable plastic body offers superior gliding properties as it smoothly divides the crop rows. Its well-designed form proves its perfect functionality in down crops as the lodged plants slide up the smooth panels and contours, aided by the long and flat tips. Hinged...

The tips offer tool-less adjustment from a hand wheel on their undersides for fine-tuning to requirements. Geringhoff is the only manufacturer to offer such infinitely-variable tip adjustment. This system is standard specification on your Geringhoff corn header. The smart body design gives easy access to the picking system and the hoods and the tips are unlocked without tools and raised and opened conveniently with the help of gas struts. The front skids can be replaced individually. All of this makes cleaning and maintenance a breeze. ► Extremely lightweight, sturdy body ► Corrosion free /...

Hydraulic deck plate adjustment Safe & reliable The deck plates are adjusted hydraulically and steplessly via a double-acting and fail-safe hydraulic system, which ensures mechanical smoothness and great operational reliability. This maintenance free system is resistant to any form of contamination, corrosion and exposure to extremely cold temperatures. Infinitely variable deck plate adjustment Eliminates jams and blockages Suitable for use in extremely cold climates

Full control The Geringhoff control terminal offers intuitive operation and displays all key settings and parameters of the header. It reads out the current speed, shows the current position of the deck plates and adjusts them at the push of a button. Folding headers are automatically folded by pressing a key on the terminal. Supplied with the machine as standard equipment Fast check of all settings and parameters Easy monitoring of deck plate adjustment

System details The Mais Star* concept Stalk and stubble management Work results Two counter-rotating snapping rolls, each fitted with four knife bars, aggressively pull the corn stalks downward in a controlled motion. Eliminates the stubble pass Minimizes stover destruction This enables the deck plates to strip the corn cob off the plant. The unchopped corn stover remains in the field, protecting the soil from erosion. Low power requirements for the picker drive Effectively protects the soil from erosion and water evaporation Prevents fiel

Please note The specified transport width and weight values are approximate and for reference only. The values in the chart are based on a standard-spec header offering a row width of 75cm / 30". Please contact us for information on other models and exact specifications.

Enclosed twin bearings at the front for particularly safe operation Carbide auger flights and hardened scrapers ensure long service life and superior reliability Replaceable carbide knives are coated for increased service life Additional counter-edges minimize the presence of stover in the threshing system for higher acreages and ground speeds Additional scrapers prevent the row unit from wrapping with crop in difficult conditions

The splined drive shaft between the gearbox and the rotor is push-fit for easy attachment and removal Labyrinth seals protect the system from debris and dirt Lightweight, aluminum-magnesium alloy gearbox housing Integrated and maintenance-free dog coupling protects the snapping rolls

System details The Mais Star* SC concept Stalk and stubble management Work results The Mais Star* SC concept relies on the proven Mais Star* design: Two counter-rotating snapping rolls, each fitted with four knife bars, aggressively pull the corn stalks downward in a controlled motion. The integral horizontal chopper located in the center of the row unit, shreds the gathered corn stalks at minimum of input power for fast decomposition. Short and uniform stubble Excellent distribution of chops Maximum chopping quality to reduce the formation of Fusarium fungi and to avoid pest survival...
