APS: Separation starts up front. Several different APS grate options are available. The exclusive APS system is the heart of every LEXION combine, and is what gives all LEXION combines their in-field advantage. Up-time is critical to getting maximum productivity from your combine, so spending an hour or more reconfiguring concaves to achieve quality threshing performance can significantly reduce productivity. In a LEXION, the only grates to change between crops are easily accessible from the rock trap. These APS concave grates are located under the APS cylinder, which can be changed easily and quickly (as needed).
• Up to 30% of all grain is pre-separated by the APS cylinder and concave (ahead of the threshing cylinder) to reduce the load on the main concave for more effective and thorough threshing performance. • During pre-separation, the APS cylinder optimizes crop flow by accelerating the crop and distributing it evenly over the full width of the threshing cylinder. The distributed material enters the threshing cylinder at the same speed, width, thickness and angle for maximum threshing efficiency • Reduces wear and tear on the combine • More efficient use of power for greater fuel economy Rasp bar threshing drum.
Impeller The APS threshing cylinder features a completely enclosed drum with raised rasp bars (24 inch tip diameter) to provide solid threshing in all conditions. The raised rasp bars allow greater expansion of the crop between them to enhance performance without compromising efficiency. All rasp bars are constructed using extremely durable material for extended wear life. Threshing drum Accelerator (APS) 10
