The Mais Star Technology

Two counter-rotating snapping rolls, each fitted with four knife bars, aggressively pull the corn stalks downward in a controlled motion.

This enables the deck plates to strip the corn cob off the plant. The unchopped corn straw remains in the field, protecting the soil from erosion.

Features may include:

Minimizes stover destruction. No corn stubble treatment.

The Mais Star row unit

Intake

• The snapping rolls enclosed twin front bearings ensure the stalks are pulled in most effectively.

• Carbide auger flights and hardened scrapers ensure a long service life and superior reliability.

• The replaceable carbide knives feature a long-life coating.

• Additional counter-edges minimize the presence of straw in the threshing system, enabling greater levels of productivity and higher ground speeds.

• Additional scrapers prevent the row unit from wrapping in difficult conditions.

• The scrapers are adjustable for a long service life.

• The spline shaft transmitting the drive from the gearbox to the rotors provides an easy-to-use push-pull connection.

• Labyrinth seals protect the system from debris and dirt.

• The lightweight gearbox housing is made from an aluminum/magnesium alloy.

• The integrated, maintenance-free slip clutch protects the snapping rolls from overload.

An innovative drive system

Great performance requires an exceptional drive system. Our headers are driven by a reliable crown wheel gearbox we deliberately designed a system that does work 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.

Gathering system

Gathering Chains

The gathering chains are tensioned automatically. The gathering chain can be changed quickly and easily thanks to the Geringhoff special tool. 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.
