7.8.5 Scalper
Scalper flail
Make sure that the scalper flails are always sharpened. If necessary, regrind the
scalper flails on the top side. During regrinding of the flails, make sure of as small
grinding angle as possible (about 12.5°).
A grinding machine is available at ROPA under ROPA item no. 018106700. To achieve
the optimal scalping, we recommend to sharpen the scalper flails with this grinding
machine every 20 - 100 ha of worked area, depending on operating conditions (on 6-
row machine).
CAUTION
Hazard of cut injuries
– Always wear cut-resistant gloves for exchanging the scalper flails to avoid the risk
of cut injuries.
Scalper bearings
The 7 lubricating nipples per scalper bearing must be lubricated after
50 operating hours in each case.
