OverviewMasterFlow is a corn header developed by experienced specialists for efficient maize harvesting. It features a simple, durable construction with the longest rotors on the market, enabling working speeds up to 12 km/h. A roto‑cut cutter that shreds stems at 25 m/s is standard. Continuous material flow and anti‑clogging section design ensure reliable feeding. Grain augers for lodged maize are fitted as standard. Available in working widths from 4 to 12 rows on a rigid frame and from 6 to 12 rows on a hydraulically folded frame.
System — roto‑cutHigh‑quality cutting performance. The roto‑cut system can be engaged/disengaged via key and is driven directly from the harvest gearbox. Cutter mounted at the rear of each section with 60 HRC steel blades and tungsten‑carbide coating. Positioning beneath the main gearbox reduces ground‑collision risk and prolongs blade life. Eliminates the need for additional drive gearboxes. Cutter blades reach 25 m/s at the tip. Two‑ and three‑blade options available.
Gearboxes in cast‑iron housingsDesigned for durability: bevel gearboxes run in an oil bath with carbon‑steel gears (50 HRC) enclosed in cast‑iron housings to withstand unexpected loads and provide long service life.
Long service life of working elementsStripper section components are made from wear‑resistant materials with tungsten‑carbide coating (>60 HRC), enabling long operating intervals up to ~200 ha per row. Rotor design permits reversing worn blades to use the opposite cutting edge. Adjustable counter‑knives prevent wrapping and perform reliably in wet and weed‑infested conditions.
Long working sectionsHeaders use extended rotors (680 mm total length) and an input speed of 620 rpm at the gearbox. Longer rotors allow higher forward speeds while reduced rotor speed helps minimize grain losses, enabling work up to 12 km/h with low losses.
Adjustment of the stripper’s deck platesCentral adjustment system allows gap changes from the operator cabin (hydraulic or electric actuator depending on combine model). Individual sections can be fine‑adjusted manually via screws. Chains run on large‑diameter sprockets positioned close to the stripper gap to prevent corncob clipping and reduce adjustment frequency.
UniversalityPWL headers can be mounted on most combine harvesters using the appropriate mounting frame, hydraulic couplings and gearbox reducers. Tilt and universal frame settings enable selection of the optimal working angle for field conditions.
Crop dividersRow covers and dividers are made from flexible lightweight plastic to reduce crop losses when cobs fall on the covers. They reduce machine weight and ensure smooth material flow. Divider widths available for 70 cm and 75 cm row spacing.
Side spiralsConical side spirals for lodged maize are standard: simple, light and durable, ensuring efficient intake of damaged crops.
Drive transmissionRigid frames: drive transmitted externally via cast‑iron bevel gearboxes and PTO shafts for low maintenance and high reliability. Hydraulically foldable frames: drive inside the header with central trapezoidal couplings; engagement from the cabin. Machine protected by a central friction clutch to prevent damage from jams and to allow higher working speeds.
Active chain tensionersChains are auto‑tensioned by internal springs for correct tension during operation and easier maintenance. Chains can be removed after loosening a single screw.
