Failed Cuts Crop Grinding

Points to check: May be due to bad crop feeding: Points to check:

• Condition of shear bar • Due to ORBIS adjustments • Corn Cracker Clearance (Increase gap)
• Shape / Condition of knives • ORBIS may be too fast • Knife Condition
• Feed Roller Speed • Crop may be lodged (Crop Lifters) • Shear Bar Condition

Unchopped Leaves - May be an issue in very dry crops Uncracked Grains

Points to check: Things to consider: Points to check: Small Gap=

• Knife Condition (Sharpness) • Add Friction Ledge • If grains unbroken: reduce corn cracker clearance Greater Power
Consumption
• Shear Bar Position (Too far from knife) • Add Friction Cylinder Bottom • If the grains are becoming crushed: Increase cracker clearance
• Early in the season: A greater clearance may be used
• Late in the season: the gap must be reduced
