Don’t Let Cracked Beans and Rotor Loss Hurt Your Bottom Line

soybean field

Every cracked grain and every kernel lost out the back of the combine is money left in the field. For growers running high-value crops like soybeans or edible beans, even small losses add up quickly.

The Problem with Standard Concaves

Most OEM or aftermarket concaves weren’t built to protect delicate crops. Tight bar spacing and overly aggressive separation often lead to cracked grain, overloading, and rotor loss.

The result?

  • Cracked grain that leads to dockage and lost premiums.
  • Rotor loss that leaves bushels in the field.
  • Trash in the tank that drags down grade and hurts your bottom line.

These aren’t just technical challenges, they’re direct profit problems.

Why Razors Edge Concaves Make the Difference

Razors Edge Concaves were engineered from the ground up to reduce rotor loss, protect grain, and simplify harvest across multiple crops. Here’s how:

  • Variable bar spacing at the crop’s first contact point delivers effective but gentle threshing While also delivering efficient unloading. 
  • Balanced grain flow maintains consistent separation without clogs or bottlenecks.
  • Laser-clad notched bars provide grain on grain threshing
  • Multi-crop flexibility eliminates the need for switching concaves or using cover plates.

With Razors Edge Concaves, you’ll spend less time adjusting and more time harvesting without sacrificing grain quality.

What Farmers Are Seeing in the Field

Farmers running Razors Edge Concaves in soybeans and edible beans are reporting:

  • Cleaner samples that grade higher.
  • Fewer split beans and less cracked grain.
  • Noticeably reduced rotor loss.
  • Stronger returns at the elevator.

The difference isn’t just in bushels, it’s in profitability.
