We did the impossible.Goingbacktorstprinciplalswith a small team, we pushed the boundaries of what was possible in this space. We knew that in order to achieve our goal, we would need to create a machine thatwasnotonlyefcientbutalso compact, allowing it to operate in a range of different environments and conditions. Through countless hours of research, design, and development, we were able to bring our vision to life. The machine we created was truly epic, incorporating the latest technology and design innovations to deliver exceptional performance and reliability.Welcome to the eet. Designed from the ground up to suit the latest high capacity combine harvesters, incorporating over a decade of learnings, this is the next generation of Seed Terminator.5Seed Terminator Pro for 1000

ACTIVE FEEDUtilising the shaker tray to actively feed the Seed Terminator means no blocks and harvest moves forward.BYPASS & GRAINLOSSWe’ve included bypass for the rsttimeonthisplatform,withease and functionality designed in. Simply remove the chutes andbafe,installthespecialisedbypass tray (pictured) and drop the belt. Material will be put into windrows perfect for grainloss testing. MAGNET TRAYIntegrating best practice, we have included our patented rare earth magnets to capture metallic objects off the cleaning shoe. 11Seed Terminator Pro for 1000
Side drive optimised. Inertia is shared between the chopper and Terminator driven pulleys, increasing overall tension and directing drive to where the greater load is required. 2.412 Seed Terminator
LESS BELTS, MORE DRIVE A single 3-groove serpentine belt drives both mills with strength for the toughest of conditions. High end EPDM belt technology delivers superior performance, while protecting the harvester.SUPERIOR PERFORMANCEThe Pro design uses optimal pulley geometry underneath. Thiscongurationensuresefcientbeltwrappingformaxperformance.NOW WITH LOW IMPACT INSTALLInstallation time has been cut in half. The side drive now features original CLAAS chopper drive pulleyswithxedandspring-loaded belt tensioners for a low-impact, reliable drive. 13Seed Terminator Pro 1000
REINVENTING MILL TECH14 Seed Terminator
3.1Benchmarked by the experts.1 2023stationaryefcacytestsshowhighlevelsofcontrol>97%.2 Tested against Australian Annual Ryegrass (Lolium Rigidum).3 Seed size was classed as ‘3’ representing in-paddock scenarios.4 Tested with wheat chaff.5 Tested completed by Paul Gill of Seed Terminator, South Australia.6 Samples grown out by The University of Adelaide.The latest in performance andefciencybuilt on the science of mechanically killing weeds.In 2010 Nick studied the power and impacts* required to kill a ryegrass seed and discovered there is a minimum energy requirement. Power Equation Ptotal = Pdrive +Pno load + PprocessingThe minimum energy requirement is15kJ/kg(thisexcludesno-loadpower).Seed species is the most important factor when testing weed kill. Seeds are of all different shapes, sizes and structure and therefore require totally different amounts of energy to control with a mill. Annual ryegrass (Lolium Rigidum) has been a major focus fortesting,rstlybecauseofitsprevalence as a weed species, secondly because it is really hard to kill with a mill. This is due to its highbretostarchratio(meaningit is very tough) and because it is very light (hitting it doesn’t provide a lot of energy for seed damage). AeroIMPACT 4 has been designed to kill enemy number one – Annual Ryegrass, while reducing power requirements. *Dr Nick Berry’s PhD Thesis ‘Optimisation of an impact mill that processes chaff exiting a combine harvester to devitalise annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum) seeds.’15Seed Terminator Pro for 1000
