Further development of combine cleaning units on a test rig requires feeding systems to supply
a cleaning mixture of material other than grain (MOG) as well as grain. One essential demand
is the constant charging of the test rig with cleaning material to describe the stationary
operating point of the cleaning unit. The University of Hohenheim in cooperation with CLAAS
Selbstfahrende Erntemaschinen GmbH developed and produced a feeding system for the cleaning
unit test rig which permits a more effi cient use of time capacity and reduces the manpower
requirement to run the system.
