2022 Geringhoff Mais Star SC MSSC 800 FB

The Mais Star SC concept relies on the proven Mais Star design: Two counter-rotating snapping rolls, each fitted with four knife bars, aggressively pull the corn stalks downward in a controlled motion. The integrated horizontal chopper requires a low amount of drive power to shred the gathered corn straw for faster rotting, virtually eliminating the need for mulching or follow-up chopping.

The horizontal chopper is located in the rear center section of the row unit and produces an uniformly stubble even in varying row spacings or when the combine is driven at an angle to the plant rows. The system is suitable for all crops even when infested with weeds or grass, and handles mature, tough plants with ease.

Features may include:

Excellent straw spreading quality. Eliminates the need for stover post-processing to enable subsequent tillage operations. Short and uniform stubble.

High Performance. Reliable. Efficient.

• The snapping rolls enclosed, twin front bearings provide high levels of safety at the intake.

• 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.

• Double-sided blades provide twice the service life as other systems.

• The snapping rolls offer carbide knives with a long-life coating.

• The knife mounting bolts are protected from damage by protective caps.

• Integrated chopper gearbox made of an aluminum/magnesium alloy using Zerol®-splined bevel gears for maximum smoothness and perfect transmission of torque.

• The friction clutch integrated in the knife carrier protects the row unit from overload.

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

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

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.
