Sorghum Header for Combine

Sorghum Header for Combine

When it comes to harvesting sorghum, the right header can make a substantial difference in overall field efficiency and crop quality. Shijiazhuang Tianren Agricultural Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. has developed a sorghum header for combine harvesters that addresses the key challenges posed by sorghum’s stiff stalks and variable head sizes.

Precision Cutting for Reduced Loss
Sorghum’s tough stalks require a cutting assembly capable of delivering a clean, even slice at adjustable heights. Our header’s cutter bar employs a self-sharpening design, where the action of the reciprocating blades maintains edge alignment against stationary guards. Operators can set cutting heights from 10 mm up to 150 mm, accommodating dryland and irrigated sorghum planted at different densities.

Enhanced Feeding System
After cutting, crop material must be fed evenly into the combine to prevent blockages and head loss. The sorghum header integrates a split-rotor feed design: the two counter-rotating rotors pull cut plants inward, breaking up clumps and delivering a uniform mat of material to the feeder house. This approach reduces uneven feeding and allows the combine’s threshing cylinder to process grain more effectively.

Flexible Mounting and Quick Attach
Recognizing that farmers may switch between crops during a single harvest season, the header is engineered for rapid attachment and detachment. A quick-connect interface aligns the header to the combine’s feeder housing, and a hydraulic locking mechanism secures it in place. Full mounting instructions and a locking-wrench tool are included, ensuring that operators can complete the changeover in under one hour.

Robust Frame and Wear Resistance
Fields with rocky or sandy soils increase wear on header components. To enhance longevity, the main frame is constructed from high-tensile steel tubing, featuring internal gusset plates at stress points. Wear strips on the underside of the header and on the row dividers are fabricated from abrasion-resistant steel, and both are replaceable in the field.

Operational Efficiency and Fuel Savings
By matching header design to sorghum’s characteristics, operators can maintain a consistent ground speed and more uniform crop flow. Field tests have shown that our sorghum header reduces unthreshed grain by up to 20% compared to a standard grain header. This efficiency translates into fewer passes per field, lower fuel consumption, and less wear on the combine’s drivetrain.

After-Sales Service
Shijiazhuang Tianren Agricultural Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. supports every sorghum header with detailed user manuals, spare parts catalogs, and follow-up training sessions via video conferencing. Replacement kits for wear parts are stocked in regional warehouses, ensuring timely delivery to minimize downtime.

Conclusion
With its self-sharpening cutting bar, split-rotor feeding system, and rugged frame design, the sorghum header from Shijiazhuang Tianren Agricultural Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. provides a harvesting solution that balances crop-friendly performance with practical maintenance considerations. Farmers harvesting sorghum can expect dependable operation and measurable gains in throughput and grain retention.
