The APS System: Why It Matters

The core of the Claas Mega series is the APS (Accelerated Pre-Separation) threshing system. By accelerating the crop mass before it reaches the main drum, the system thins the crop mat, leading to more efficient grain separation at the intake stage. This technical solution prevents clogging and increases throughput by up to 20% compared to conventional threshing systems, while significantly reducing grain damage.

Threshing and Cleaning Dynamics

The 600mm diameter threshing drum is engineered for consistent performance in varying crop yields. The cleaning system utilizes a high-capacity turbine fan, delivering a uniform air blast across the entire sieve area. This is essential for fine-tuning the separation of chaff from grain, especially in high-moisture conditions. The 3D cleaning module, available as an option, provides active compensation for side slopes, preventing grain buildup on one side of the sieves.

Drivetrain and Durability

Mega combines are built around a robust mechanical transmission paired with a precise hydrostatic drive. This combination allows for seamless speed adjustment during harvesting without compromising threshing quality. The straw walker design ensures high separation rates even when harvesting bulky crops, making it a highly reliable machine for diverse farming operations.

• APS accelerator drum: Improves pre-separation and throughput.
• 3D sieve system: Maintains efficiency on uneven terrain.
• Integrated electronics: Real-time loss monitoring to optimize harvesting settings.
