Maximize your harvest with air-assist harvesting

Every grower knows the countless hours and hard work that goes into raising a crop for harvest, and the importance of ensuring they get the most out of a field. AWS Airbar understands this and is dedicated to ensuring you get the most out of every harvest.

With Soy and Pulse crops, traditional headers incur shatter loss at the knife when loose and low-lying pods are shelled and fall back into the field or are otherwise lost or damaged, leading to loss in profits and reductions in sample quality. Knives are often cluttered with debris, reducing cutting efficiency, creating unnecessary wear, breakage and downtime.

When added to a combine header, the AWS Airbar reduces or eliminates this loss of product and efficiency. The high-velocity air stream that is applied to the knife through the out-front manifold, thrusts these pods and materials across the cutting head and into the feeder-house increasing average yields by as much as 4 bushels per acre.

In addition to reducing losses, air-assist harvesting allows for increased ground speeds by improving crop flow across the header. The ground speed with typical header systems are normally determined by two factors: 

The AWS Airbar dramatically improves upon both of these factors in overall speed, efficiency of harvesting and a reduction of strain and operating hours on the equipment.

The addition of high velocity air also creates a more even flow of crop through the feeder-house by eliminating the bunching of material behind the knife. This leads to a more even flow throughout the combine, allowing the equipment to operate at peak performance, reducing losses during seed-separation, providing even further increases in overall yields and ground speed capabilities.

As a whole, by adding an AWS Airbar to your harvesting practices you will benefit from

These are among some of the primary reasons that so many pulse and soy growers around the world have come to make the AWS Airbar a go-to part of their operation, whether they are operating a traditional auger platform or one of the larger hinged drapers. With many claiming to see a ROI above and beyond the initial investment made in the first year alone.

Stop leaving your hard work in the dirt and Get more yield from field.

As an industry leader in the field of air-assist harvesting, AWS remains committed to quality, reliability, customer service and the continued development of state-of-the-art equipment and harvesting systems. Joining the S3 Group Ltd. in early 2022, AWS adds to the S3 Group of companies that collectively focus on industrial product design, manufacturing and marketing across multiple industries while offering proprietary products and solutions, as well as many services and products for OEM’s. 

No one can match the performance, quality and warranty of AWS & S3 Group and the state-of-the-art engineering of the Airbar.
