AXIAL-FLOW AFX ROTOR
Case IH launched the first single-rotor Axial-Flow® combine in 1977. Thanks to the simple and reliable design, more than 30 years later, single-rotor technology still leads the industry. Six core principles drive AFX Axial-Flow rotor design:
  • Simplicity – Fewer moving parts for better reliability and easy service
  • Grain Quality – Gentle grain-on-grain threshing minimizes grain damage
  • Grain Savings – Through thorough threshing and efficient separation
  • Crop Adaptability – Harvests more than 80 types of grains in many conditions
  • Matched Capacity – Matched systems optimize crop flow and productivity
  • Resale Value – Impressive resale value maximizes your investment
The Case IH AFX Axial-Flow rotor design offers complete, gentle grain-on-grain threshing that minimizes damage.
AFX Rotor Design
  • Standard 30-in. (76-cm) diameter in-line rotor offers gentle, multiple-pass grain-on-grain threshing:
    • Single concentric moving part for threshing and separating requires fewer adjustments and less maintenance than conventional machines
    • Efficiently moves material through the rotor cage – regardless of crop or conditions – to maintain crop flow and crop control
  • Multiple-pass threshing and 360 degree centrifugal-force separation results in:
    • More complete, gentle threshing
    • Increased grain separation
    • Less damage to fragile kernels
  • Smooth uninterrupted crop flow:
    • Reduces horsepower demands
    • Decreases fuel use
    • Reduces wear on threshing components
Case IH small tube rotor features smaller diameter and taller rasp bars for rice crops.
Optional Small Tube Rotor
  • Small Tube (ST) rotor is standard for rice and optional for small grains producers
  • Provides increased productivity in tough harvest conditions
  • Smaller diameter and taller rasp bars let more tough rice straw work its way through the entire length of the rotor
    • Crop feeds more evenly
    • More crop-on-crop threshing opportunity
  • Recent improvements enable:
    • Higher grain quality in tough threshing conditions
    • Higher ground speeds that boost productivity
    • Easier operation, with smoother material flow
    • Less rumbling, so reduced likelihood of slugging the rotor
    • Available on 20 Series and 7088
