Sunflower harvesting header Drago Gold

augerfor combine harvesters

Overview
Drago Gold is a sunflower, sorghum and hemp header designed for total, loss‑free harvesting and high operating speed even in extreme conditions. It integrates exclusive solutions (Ø 500 mm oversize auger, hydraulic chopper, rubber‑toothed gathering chains, opposing hardened steel cutting discs, etc.) to ensure fast forward progress, elimination of blockages and optimal chopping.

Key advantages

• Total, loss‑free harvesting of heads and seeds.
• High forward speed with minimal blockages thanks to an Ø 500 mm oversize auger.
• Hydraulic chopper enabling cutting at ground level and harvesting sunflowers up to 1.5 m high (only the head is harvested without stem).
• Auger operation protected by a safety clutch.
• Gathering chains with special rubber teeth that gently grip the stalk and prevent product loss.
• Fast, vibration‑free cutting system with two opposing hardened steel discs that cut without shaking the plant.
• Chopper positioned behind the header for effective chopping and better combine stability.
• Design adaptable to any combine make and model, maintaining an optimal working angle (12°) regardless of wheel height.

Main components and functions

• Ø 500 mm oversize auger to clear blockages and increase forward speed; protected by a safety clutch.
• Hydraulic chopper (unique in some markets) for ground‑level chopping and harvest of sunflowers up to 1.5 m.
• Gathering chains with rubber teeth that convey the plant to the auger while avoiding losses.
• Opposing hardened steel cutting discs for fast, low‑vibration cutting without shaking the plant.
• Two clutches per row‑group to protect elements (prevents overload of chains and discs).
• Adjustable attachments to optimise working position.
• External oil‑bath transmission designed for zero maintenance and full protection from impurities and foreign bodies.
• Drive shaft mountable in high and low positions for adaptation to all combine types.
• Tank‑shaped hoods to collect fallen product and reduce losses.
• Rear anti‑fall grate supplied as standard for protection.

Applications
Harvesting sunflower, sorghum and hemp on all makes and types of combines. Available in configurations from 6 to 24 rows.
