Tribine Harvester enables precise threshing for a more efficient harvesting process
Smart harvesting machines for improved control over the threshing process.
Challenge in the harvesting process
Conventional harvesting technologies come with limitations that reduce agricultural profitability, such as inefficient transport and soil compaction, leading to higher costs and lower crop yields. There is a growing need for better control over the threshing process and grain tanks to enhance both productivity and efficiency.
Project Outcome
To optimise threshing performance, the new generation of harvesting machines has been equipped with Thomson Electrak HD actuators. Thanks to this advanced solution, the Tribine Harvester can precisely adjust the concaves and the grain bin to maximise threshing efficiency, resulting in a more effective harvesting process.
The Tribine Harvester can unload 1,000 bushels of grain in only two minutes by synchronising the grain bin door and discharge chute, allowing direct loading into semi-trucks without the need for tractor-pulled grain carts. This reduces fuel and labour costs while also preventing soil compaction.

CAN communication has allowed for quick and easy implementation
The Tribine Harvester utilises Thomson Electrak HD actuators, which provide maximum control over the entire length of travel as they open and close the concaves around the rotor. Furthermore, the Thomson actuators only use four wires: two to provide low-power connections to the communications bus and two to connect to the power supply. This simple architecture enables the Tribine Harvester design team to communicate across a J1939 CAN bus communication network, providing a powerful and cost-efficient circuit that allows the team to program control in a way that has never been possible with a basic electromechanical actuator or hydraulic system.
