Engine

The Acros 580 RSM 142 series, unlike its predecessor, is equipped exclusively with foreign units. The combine is equipped with a 4-stroke Cummins 6LTAA diesel engine with a liquid cooling system. The turbocharged engine has a V-shaped layout. In comparison with the Russian YaMZ 236BK engine, which is equipped with earlier versions of Akros combines, the Cummins 6LTAA is more economical (fuel consumption is 15% less). again, it surpasses its competitor in terms of technical characteristics. One of the features of the unit is a large power reserve (up to 20%) at low speeds (1000-1600 rpm). Localization of production (the production of Cummins 6LTAA is established in Russia and China) allows us to make this engine both reliable and affordable.

The engine is installed in the engine compartment located at the rear of the equipment. This construction scheme reduces the level of noise and vibration in the cabin. At the same time, the compartment allows you to easily get to the main elements.

Characteristics of the Cummins 6LTAA engine:

• working volume – 8.9 l;
• power – 221 (300) kW (hp);
• number of cylinders – 6.

The fuel tank of the combine is designed for 540 liters.

Combine harvester Acros 580

This agricultural machinery is professional and designed for harvesting cereal crops. The combine does an excellent job of threshing wheat, including spring varieties, corn and sunflower. The unique system of connecting the frame to the header allows you to follow the surface topography while maintaining productivity. The model is equipped with additional devices that are capable of processing straw for subsequent use in the agricultural sector and livestock farming.

Design and operating features

Acros 580 RSM 142 is created on the basis of modern equipment. The combine is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission with a 3-speed gearbox without steps. This design allows you to adjust the speed within any of the running gears. High operating speed provides optimal conditions for using equipment in areas with low yields. The chassis is designed taking into account Russian operating conditions. 30.5L R32 wheels are installed on the drive axle, 18.4 R24 wheels are installed on the steering axle.

The model is equipped with hydraulics manufactured in Germany. An element consists of several modules interconnected. The first module is considered the main one, the second is used for steering, the third is used to transmit force to the reel, and the fourth is to ensure the operation of the chassis.

The main working element is the header. For Akros 580, Power Stream modifications with different widths are used. This harvesting unit is one of the most modern in the entire post-Soviet space and is a worthy competitor to its European counterparts. Among the features of the header is the Level Glide terrain copying mechanism, which ensures the use of the entire length of the device on uneven ground. At the request of the consumer, it is possible to install an electro-hydraulic Auto Contour surface copying system. The Acros 580 PCM 142 headers are characterized by a robust design and light weight. Another feature is the advanced Schumacher planetary blade drive. In earlier models it was installed exclusively as an option. Due to it, smooth operation of the header is achieved and wear is reduced; the double cutting edge increases the cutting speed.

In addition to the main headers with the Acros 580 RSM 142 combine, the following are used:

• perforated gratings designed for collecting cereal crops;
• a specialized harvester used for harvesting sunflower (reduces losses during threshing by 2%);
• mechanism for harvesting rapeseed;
• a pick-up equipped with a hinged mount;
• system for collecting straw and subsequent formation of bales;
• grid for working with corn.

The Akros 580 threshing system includes the following components:

• threshing and separating device consisting of a drum, concave, transport board, breaker beater, straw walker, cleaning system. The combine uses a large diameter super drum (800 mm). Enormous inertia helps to cope with twisted and wet masses. The drum drive is designed for increased loads. It includes a special Posi-Torque device that automatically tensions the belt as torque increases, which adds to the machine's performance. The operator adjusts the speed of rotation of the super drum from the operator's cab. The stone catcher prevents stones and foreign objects from entering the thresher. For gentle threshing of crops, a compact gearbox is used that reduces the rotation speed to 200-450 rpm. After leaving the threshing drum through the breaker beater, part of the grain mass is sent to a 5-key straw walker, which is responsible for releasing the residual grain. The released grain and small particles enter the cleaning system, and the long-straw part is sent to the outlet of the thresher. The correctness of the system settings is checked using grain loss sensors, signaling the percentage of threshed grain in the straw;
• grain and grain augers;
• pre-threshing device;
• grain elevator with unloading mechanism and bunker. Up to 5% of the time is spent on unloading grain. The reduction of this interval is ensured due to the significant productivity of the unloading elevator. In the Acros 580 PCM 142 model, increased attention is paid to stability of operation under significant humidity. The Smart Launch mechanism protects the system from overloads, and proprietary hydraulic pulsators prevent the grain mass from “hanging” in the bunker.

The combine is equipped with a comfortable operator's cabin, Comfort Cab II, with significant vibration, thermal, noise and dust protection. The cabin has an audio system, air conditioning, heater, cooling chamber and voice announcement. The driver's seat has settings for the operator's parameters. The operator's cabin is again equipped with powerful LED spotlights for working in the dark.

The economic efficiency of equipment was considered by the developers of Rostselmash as the main guideline when creating new combines. The first “brainchild” of the enterprise was the Akros 530 model, the popularity of which remained consistently high for several years. In terms of comfort and technical parameters, it could be compared with foreign combines.

News here.

However, Rostselmash did not stop at the Acros 530 model and soon presented an improved version of the equipment. The Acros 580 version was copied from its predecessor in layout and individual components (a basic combine with a single-drum threshing device), but received an upgraded engine from a different manufacturer and a Comfort Cab II with an increased level of comfort. Some of the equipment that was previously offered only as an additional option was now supplied as standard.

Akros 580 is adapted to Russian conditions. You can carry out work using it in any weather. All modifications of the combine are equipped with thick tires that have a deep herringbone tread and provide good cross-country ability. The equipment can be operated even at a temperature of +50 degrees. In this case, you don’t have to worry about engine overheating, since the combine is equipped with a “smart” engine cooling system that automatically turns on additional fans if it approaches a critical point. Performance does not drop even at sub-zero temperatures.

The original design of the drum allows you to effectively remove grain, which is located almost horizontally. Despite the many advanced systems used in the Acros 580, it is easy to use. You can configure the equipment parameters directly in the field.

The model is intended for use over large areas on large farms. The efficiency of the combine is almost independent of the weather. Akros 580 is suitable for harvesting grain crops, sunflower and corn.

"Translator from English"

The peasants make fun (and quite rightly) of the developers of the Akros combines for their craving for foreign names for the components and individual components of agricultural machines. Indeed, combines are sold in Russia and other republics of the former USSR, and not in Britain and the USA, so why do they have stupid English names, similar to the cheap “spells” of annoying advertisements?

Be that as it may, we bring to your attention a short “English-Russian phrasebook” for studying the Akros-580 device.

• “Power Stream” is a universal harvester for grain crops. Features: extended table, hydraulic reel drive, reverse of the reaping parts (controlled from the cab).
• “Level Glide” is the name of a special hydromechanical system for following the field relief.
• “Jam Control” is a system for eliminating clogging of the thresher with grain mass (using deep dumping of the deck).
• “Comfort Cab II” is an improved, even compared to the Akros-530, comfortable cabin.
• “Adviser” is a voice warning system in the cockpit, complemented by an LCD monitor and situational framing.
• “Smart Launch” is a device for separate sequential activation of unloading and horizontal augers. To ensure high unloading speed and batch execution.
• “Pro-drive” – the knives are driven by a planetary gearbox.
