If you’re noticing cracks and splits in your soybeans or edible beans, it’s time to take a closer look at your concave. While aggressive threshing might be effective for tougher crops like corn or wheat, it can be a major issue for delicate beans. The excessive force can damage the seed coat or split the beans entirely, leading to dockage at the elevator and cutting into your profits. Fortunately, Razors Edge Concaves offer a solution that protects your crop quality while maintaining harvest efficiency.
Traditional concaves often rely on brute force to thresh crops, which is where the problem begins. Soybeans and edible beans are more fragile, and aggressive threshing can easily crack or split them. Razors Edge Concaves are designed with a more refined approach. Their variable spacing and laser-clad sharpened edge provide precise, controlled threshing that’s gentle enough for delicate beans while still delivering the efficiency you need.
The notched bar design of Razors Edge Concaves plays a key role in reducing damage. Instead of forcing beans against the concave with excessive pressure, the design allows the beans to thresh against themselves. This natural action minimizes cracking and splitting while still ensuring effective separation. Additionally, the variable spacing ensures smooth material flow through the combine, preventing overloading and further reducing the risk of damage.
Farmers who’ve switched to Razors Edge Concaves consistently report cleaner grain samples, fewer splits, and less dockage. The versatility of these concaves also means you can transition seamlessly between crops like soybeans, wheat, and corn without needing to swap out parts or make constant adjustments. This not only saves time but also reduces wear and tear on your equipment, lowering maintenance costs over time.
If you’re tired of losing money to cracked soybeans, it’s time to rethink your concave. Razors Edge Concaves provide the gentle, effective threshing you need to protect your crop quality and maximize your bottom line.
