Combine harvester: Past and Present

Agriculture uses the most diverse machines as the broad and narrow application.And some of its types of work all year round, and the other most of the time standing idle in hangars.But without that farmers and other equipment is necessary.For example, in the harvest on the combine harvester can be seen that in our time the work takes a dozen haymakers.And it is very difficult harvesting machine, which is a continuous stream and performs several operations.Combine cuts grains, feeds them into a threshing machine and threshed grain from the ears.Then it separates it from the straw and other impurities and transports it to the hopper.And because it has from time to time or continuously mechanically unloads grain in the other vehicles.

In principle, combine harvester replaces over just three simple machines - reaper, thresher and winnower.And it is possible to hang additional components that allow you to clean up various crops.A homeland of this miracle of technology is the United States.Yet in 1828 the inventor of S. Lane patented complex combination machine for harvesting grain crops.She had to cut cereal, thresh it, and clean the grain from the husk.But it was never built.And in 1836, two inventors from the same America have mounted something like a combine harvester.He was like a 4-wheeled wagon.A rotation of the drive of the cutting apparatus and the threshing drum transmits on the rear axle.

But combine structurally reminiscent of contemporary models, managed to obtain in 1836 two other inventors - J. Hascall and H. Moore.And this car is already removed in 1854 to 600 acres of corn.Then gradually combine harvester increasingly improved with the development of technology.And in Russia, the first such machine produced by Holt, brought in 1913.It was a wooden structure on crawlers.She had a gasoline engine that simultaneously activate the mechanism for cleaning and for the movement.But to use this processor and not in time, because soon the war began.

And when the Soviet Union for combines back again.At first they were imported from the United States, parallel to establishing their production.And in 1930, out of the gate Zaporizhia "Kommunar" rode the first combine harvester, the price of which corresponded work of many people.By the end of the same year, the factory workers have already released 347 of these machines.A year later, the Rostov plant "Rostselmash" began to produce the famous "Stalinists."A 1932 edition combines established in Saratov factory named Shelbodaeva.These models were far from perfect, but they helped villagers thoroughly.After the war in the Soviet Union conducted a serious research, which resulted in the model SC-5 and SC-6.Then in 1970 the plant began to produce Taganrog Combine Harvester "Spike" or SK-6-ll, and Rostselmash - "Niva" SK-5.

And these machines plowed field for a long time the Soviet Union, and then independent states.And now they were replaced by newer models such as the combine harvester "Polesie" Barrier-812-16.This compact and manoeuvrable machine, which has a capacity of more than 8 kg / s.It is capable of issuing an hour more than 12 tons of grain.This machine is a type of harvesting that are already widely recognized.They have one threshing drum, beater and straw walker.And a part of the combine "Polesie" is ZHZK grain harvester-thresher 6-5 and propelled model KPC-8-0100000.
