Just like the TUCANO 570, the TUCANO 560 features the tried-and-tested APS HYBRID SYSTEM, which combines the tangential APS threshing system with ROTO PLUS residual grain separation, resulting in a high throughput and particularly careful straw handling.
Higher throughput thanks to the APS threshing system
The TUCANO 560's CLAAS APS threshing system stands out thanks to its high throughput and consistently high performance. The key advantage of this system is that the crop is accelerated from 3 m/s to 20 m/s before it even reaches the threshing drum. This extreme speed produces high centrifugal forces which enable optimal grain separation during the threshing process. In addition, a consistent and rapid crop flow is also guaranteed, even in difficult conditions.
Careful straw processing
The combination of the APS threshing system with highly effective ROTO PLUS residual grain separation gives it a notable advantage over straw walker systems. The large single rotor used in the ROTO PLUS residual grain separation system, which measures 570 mm in diameter, produces high centrifugal forces even at low speeds, making residual grain separation particularly efficient. In addition to this, the APS HYBRID SYSTEM's APS threshing system and ROTO PLUS residual grain separation system can be freely adjusted independently from one another . This means that the operator can choose the optimal settings for straw quality and grain separation according to the weather conditions, the time of day and the crop. We recommend a low rotor speed for the careful processing of fairly dry, brittle straw, but for green crops or crops which become covered with dew in the evening, a high speed can be selected to achieve the required maximum separation rate.
