Feeding

The Massey Ferguson 9000 Series use an 18” (457 mm) diameter helical vane feed conveyor to feed the rotor inlet and provide rock protection. The helical vane conveyor provides efficient and quiet operation and has the following three primary functions:

1. Accelerates the crop leaving the feed chain
2. Separates stones from the crop
3. Feeds the rotor 360°

The opposing vanes on the feed beater supply an even flow of material to the rotor via a conical shaped rotor intake housing. A blended shape rotor transition intake provides a 360° rotor feed. This feature gently feeds the rotor to reduce crop damage while increasing rotor intake capacity.
