Херсонмаш ПЗС

Technical breakdown of the Khersonmash PZS sunflower header attachment

The PZS attachment by Khersonmash is a specialized adapter designed to convert standard grain headers into high-efficiency tools for sunflower harvesting. The core objective of this unit is to minimize seed shatter and header loss during direct combine harvesting of sunflower heads.

Key components and performance features

• Specialized Lifters: The tapered geometry and extended profile of the lifters ensure that stems are lifted gently. This design allows only the sunflower head to reach the cutting zone, significantly reducing the amount of non-grain biomass entering the thresher. This is essential for improving grain cleanliness and reducing the load on the threshing drum.
• Active Feeding Shaft: The unit utilizes a paddle feeding shaft that stabilizes the sunflower flow. This prevents the bouncing of heads out of the header at higher operational speeds, effectively increasing harvest efficiency by 15-20% compared to standard configurations.
• Cutting Mechanism: The knife system is specifically calibrated for the tough, fibrous stalks of sunflowers. High-frequency stroke rates ensure a clean cut without tearing the stalk, which minimizes vibration and preserves the longevity of the header's drive system.

Integrating the Khersonmash PZS allows operators to maintain a consistent cutting height, regardless of the hybrid variety. The robustness of the frame ensures structural integrity during heavy-duty operation, providing a reliable solution for farms looking to optimize their equipment fleet without investing in dedicated sunflower headers.
