Recovering harvest residues after the grain-maize harvest is becoming increasingly significant. This additional biomass can be used as renewable raw material in heating power stations or biogas plants, but also as litter or feedstuff in animal husbandry.
The new Cornrower is a chopping corn head attachment that reduces the harvest residue at the maize header with special knives and deposits it in a swath using elbow-shaped deflector panels. This forms the bed for cobs and cleaning tailings from the combine.
Accordingly, for the first time a high component of harvest residues can be harvested from the finished swath with low dirt content and without additional labour outlay.
