• Corn Cracker Clearance (Increase gap)
• Knife Condition
• Shear Bar Condition
Points to check:
• Knife Condition (Sharpness)
• Shear Bar Position (Too far from knife)
Points to check:
• If grains unbroken: reduce corn cracker clearance
• If the grains are becoming crushed: Increase cracker clearance
• Early in the season: A greater clearance may be used
• Late in the season: the gap must be reduced
May be due to bad crop feeding:
• Due to ORBIS adjustments
• ORBIS may be too fast
• Crop may be lodged (Crop Lifters)
Things to consider:
• Add Friction Ledge
• Add Friction Cylinder Bottom
