Technical description of the accelerator drum for the CLAAS combine harvester

Accelerator drum for CLAAS combine harvester, identified by part number 00 0508 060 0, is a key component of the APS (Accelerated Pre-Separation) threshing and separation system used in modern combine harvesters of this brand. Located in front of the main threshing drum,the CLAAS combine harvester accelerator drumis responsible for preparing the grain mass for further processing. Its design enables even distribution and dynamic acceleration of the material, which directly affects efficiency, threshing quality, and the overall throughput of the machine. This drum is made of durable, wear-resistant materials designed for long-term operation under intensive harvesting conditions.

Location of the accelerator drum in the CLAAS APS system

The accelerator drum for the CLAAS combine harvesteris located in the front part of the threshing system, directly behind the feeder house (intake channel) and just before the main threshing drum. In APS systems, it is theaccelerator drum for the CLAAS combine harvesterthat has first contact with the crop. It begins the process of loosening and spreading the material across the width of the machine, which optimises the operation of the entire threshing line. Its position provides service access from the front of the machine, facilitating maintenance and monitoring of the threshing system.

Application and key functions of the CLAAS accelerator drum

The primary role fulfilled by theaccelerator drum for the CLAAS combine harvesteris to prepare the incoming crop for effective and even threshing. It loosens and spreads the material across the full working width while increasing its flow speed. As a result,the CLAAS combine harvester accelerator drumrelieves the main threshing drum, ensuring a more even load on the system and reducing the risk of overload or blockages. Additionally, partial separation of small grains already occurs in its zone, which increases the efficiency of the cleaning system. Consequently, higher machine throughput is achieved while maintaining high crop quality.

Compatibility of the APS 00 0508 060 0 drum with CLAAS combine models

The accelerator drum for the CLAAS combine harvesterwith part number 00 0508 060 0 is used in combine harvesters equipped with theAPS (Accelerated Pre-Separation)system. This applies to many models in theCLAAS LEXIONseries, including the 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, and newer generations, where this drum is an integral part of the threshing system. It is also found in machines from theCLAAS TUCANOseries – 300, 400, 500 – which also utilise APS technology. Due to structural differences between specific models, we recommend contacting us.
