CLEAN KERNELS IN A STEADY FLOW, IN LINE WITH THE CX8000 CAPACITY

The CX8000 cleaning shoe produces a perfect sample in any variety of crop thanks to the large and efficient cleaning area. The double acting shoe gives the precise throwing stroke to each sieve for correct handling. The sieves can be remotely adjusted from the cab, and for increased productivity in specific crops, specialist sieves are available. A wind-controlled pre-sieve, fitted between the grain pan and the top sieves, collects the grain and directs a major portion of it to the lower sieve. This optimises the top sieve efficiency while the extra air-flow between the pre-sieve and the top sieve also adds to overall cleaning efficiency.

WIND-CONTROL MATCHES THE HIGH GRAIN VOLUMES

With a total area under wind-control of 6.54m2 on the six-strawwalker models, the CX8000 cleaning shoe can handle the large grain volumes produced by the highly productive threshing and separation systems. Plenty of air is drawn from both sides and from the top of the fan housing while two outlets help ensure an even wind pattern through the sieves. The powerful six-blade fan is available with a low-speed drive option for optimum blowing effect in light seeds.

THE MOST EFFICIENT LEVELLING SYSTEM ON THE MARKET

Working on side-slopes without the need to slow down for full cleaning efficiency: that is what the New Holland self-levelling cleaning shoe allows on any slope encountered up to 17%.
An electrical actuator commanded by a levelling sensor, keeps the complete cleaning shoe horizontal, including the long grain pan, the pre-sieve, the top sieve and the bottom sieve. The grain is kept in an even layer while an even airflow through the sieves maintains maximum cleaning efficiency. This allows operation at the optimum speed on any slope, without the need to sacrifice speed or quality.

AGGRESSIVE CASCADE CLEANING

An important positive element in the CX8000 cleaning module is the pre-sieve. It provides an extra section of wind-controlled sieve area but more importantly, it creates an additional air blast through the grain as it falls onto the upper sieve. At this stage a lot of chaff and short straw is taken out of the grain even before final cleaning is started.

IN CONTROL OF RETURNS

The CX8000 efficiency in the threshing, separation and cleaning stages keeps the amount of returns to a minimum. Varying crop conditions may affect the quantity of returned materials: this is indicated on the IntelliView™ lIl monitor. To avoid extra load in addition to the new crop being fed into the combine, the roto-thresher (a New Holland innovation) deals with returns in an efficient way. If required there is some additional threshing, if not, a smooth cover can be installed. The CX8000 threshing and separation is not compromised - the returned material is spread evenly across the grain pan, for final cleaning.

EASY TO REACH

To maintain the grain pan efficiency in terms of grain transportation capacity and preparation before cleaning – major contributors to the combine’s overall performance - the steps of the grain pan must be clean. When working in wet materials or crops with sticky characteristics, it may be necessary to regularly clean these steps. To allow easy cleaning, the CX8000 combine’s grain pan can be removed from the front in two sections.
