WHY A COMBINE HARVESTER IS CALLED A COMBINE?

As we all know in a new era Agricultural machinery is very useful for farming. And the agricultural machine combine harvester is the latest farm machine of modern farming. A modern combine harvester, also known as a combine, is a powerful machine that can harvest a variety of grain crops efficiently. The name comes from the fact that it combines four different harvesting operations into a single process: reaping, threshing, collecting and winnowing. Wheat, rice, oats, rye, barley, corn (maize), sorghum, soybeans, flax (linseed), sunflowers, and canola are among the crops harvested with a combine. The separated straw, which is left on the field, contains the crop's stems and any remaining leaves, as well as a few nutrients; the straw is chopped, scattered on the field, and ploughed back in, or baled for bedding and limited-feed for livestock. That is why a combine harvester is called a combine.



Points to the elaborate working of Combine Harvester

  1. The header severs the plant near the ground and transports the whole plant into the system. Depending on whether they're harvesting maize, soybeans, or other crops, farmers swap out the header.
  2. Via spinning augers, the cut crops make their way to the middle and up a conveyor.
  3. The combine's threshing section beats the cut seeds, breaking and shaking the grains free from their stalks.
  4. The separated grains are conveyed into a grain tank through a conveyor. As more grain falls through into the tank, the unwanted stalks, husks, cobs, and/or bits of leaves - known as chaff or residue - travel along various conveyors.
  5. When the grain tank is loaded, a tractor pulls alongside the combine with a grain cart on the back. The grain is brought up from the tank by an elevator and discharged into the grain cart through a side pipe, or unloader.
  6. The residue exits the machine at the back, where it is either spread over a large area or baled as straw for animal bedding. A straw chopper is used in most machines to reduce the size of the straw and make it more manageable.

Why is the combine harvester important?

Combine Harvester The combine harvester, abbreviated as combine, is an essential and complex mechanical equipment designed for the efficient harvesting of large-scale grains. Modern combine can easily cut plenty of grain crops as it can cover an area more than 40 feet wide. A combine harvester is also called combine because it performs three tasks of harvest simultaneously - harvesting, threshing, and winnowing. The head of the Combine Harvester is specially designed to cut the grain of corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, rye, barley, sorbet, flax, sunflower, and canola easily from the standing crop. Now, let's know about what is reaping, threshing and winnowing? Reaping - In the process of reaping, a combine harvester cuts the crops from the yield field. Threshing - In the process of threshing, a combine harvester separates the seeds from stalks. Winnowing - In the process of threshing, a combine harvester removes chaff from the stored grain and produces high-quality grain. Now, How man...

Benefits of Combine Harvester for farmers!

For those who don't know what is combine harvester is - A modern combine harvester is a multipurpose machine designed to efficiently harvest a range of grain crops. The term stems from its integrating three independent harvesting operations— reaping, threshing, and winnowing —into one procedure. Wheat, oats, rye, barley, corn (maize), sorghum, soybeans, flax (linseed), sunflowers, and canola, etc are among the crops gathered with a combine. And the remaining straw, which is left in the field, contains the stem of the crop and the remaining leaves with some nutrients, which is plowed into the field itself, which acts as a fertilizer. The primary advantage of the Combine Harvester is that you can cut the crop with this machine instead of manually, and instead of taking the crop to the threshing machine, you can thresh the crop in it and find the clean grain separated from the crop. The advantage of this machine is that you can do cutting, threshing, and winnowing in one go. The term...
