Sunflower harvester PZS-8, PZS-12, Kherson region.

It is known that sunflower seeds do not ripen at the same time and before the harvest, a significant part of it (as a rule, the most conditioned) overripes and easily falls off. Losses in such cases amount to 5 or more percent.

Well-thought-out designharvester for harvesting sunflowers CCS-8 allows to reduce seed losses by 2-3 times, that is, to collect an additional 6 tons of sunflower seeds per season.
CCS-8 sunflower seed harvesters have a number of advantages:
high productivity(//tractor-service.com)
Stems in the channels of the device are fed without tilting in the direction of the longitudinal axis. As a result, it becomes possible to operate the unit at higher speeds, which ensures an increase in its productivity.
High reliability of the design
The high reliability of the design is achieved by the absence of longitudinal conveyors for feeding cut sunflower baskets to the transverse auger.
loss minimization
The original design of the cutting device provides a smooth and shock-free cut of stems, which significantly reduces grain losses. The disk knives also have special grips for smooth transfer of cut baskets to the auger of the harvester. There are special containers for collecting seeds in the hoods of the channels, and chain conveyors are installed in the working channels of the channels, the speed of which is comparable to the working speed of the combinespeed. The design of copying dividers with stepless adjustment of the height of the collection of fallen baskets also contributes to the reduction of seed losses. Reflective screens installed on the front shield prevent stems from hanging on the shield when harvesting high-stemmed sunflowers.
