The threshing belt of a combine harvester is a belt that drives the threshing mechanism during the threshing process. Threshing is the process by which the combine separates, cleans, and prepares the harvested crops for baling or storage. The threshing process transforms the harvested plant material into clean produce by separating it from the stems or other unwanted materials.
The threshing belt is utilized as a component that operates and drives various parts during the threshing process. This belt transfers the power from the engine to the threshing mechanisms, ensuring their proper operation. Many components such as the cleaning fan, augers, cleaning fan, vibrating sieve, horizontal and vertical belt conveyors, among others, operate thanks to the threshing belt.
These belts are crucial for the smooth and effective execution of the threshing process. If the threshing belt is loose or worn out, the threshing process is affected, leading to decreased efficiency. Therefore, regular maintenance and inspection are necessary. It should be ensured that the belts are properly tensioned, not worn out, and not loose. Additionally, it is important to replace the belts when needed because worn or damaged belts may not function properly and could lead to more serious malfunctions.
