Product Portfolio
Corn Heads
Mais Star*
-
The Mais Star* concept
Two counter-rotating snapping rolls, each fitted with four knife bars, aggressively pull the corn stalks downward in a controlled motion.
This enables the deck plates to strip the corn cob off the plant. The unchopped corn straw remains in the field, protecting the soil from erosion.
Work results
- High ground speeds in all harvesting conditions
- Extremely low power requirements
- Minimizes stover destruction
- Suitable for consecutive tillage operations
Stubble scene
- No corn stubble treatment
Mais Star* MS-SC
-
The Mais Star* MS-SC concept
The Mais Star* MS-SC concept relies on the proven Mais Star* design: Two counter-rotating snapping rolls, each fitted with four knife bars, aggressively pull the corn stalks downward in a controlled motion.
The integrated horizontal chopper requires a low amount of drive power to shred the gathered corn straw for faster rotting, virtually eliminating the need for mulching or follow-up chopping.
The horizontal chopper is located in the rear section of the row unit and produces an uniformly short stubble even in varying row spacings or when the combine is driven at an angle to the plant rows. The system is suitable for all crops even when infested with weeds or grass, and handles mature, tough plants with ease.
Work results
- Excellent straw spreading quality
- Perfect chopping quality at medium ground speeds
- Optimum straw distribution, reducing Fusarium fungi and avoiding insect pest survival
- Eliminates the need for stover post-processing to enable subsequent tillage operations
Stubble scene

Mais Star* Collect
-
A hunter and a gatherer
Each corn field has a potential for higher yields. Harvesting corn straw offers considerable benefits to any farmer pursuing a commercially successful business and looking to reduce their environmental impact. For the future there are some vital questions we need to answer: How can you increase your corn yields? How do you unlock the potential of your corn stover? Many times corn straw quality is high enough to enable an efficient way of re-using this valuable resource.
Optimum results are achieved by harvesting the corn and dropping the straw in a windrow. The Mais Star* Collect offers significant advantages over traditional corn harvesting methods. Keep your equipment up to date by making your harvest more efficient and sustainable. Make the most of your field!

Horizon Star* II
-
The Horizon Star* II concept
Two stalk rollers with different-sized diameters seize the plant and pull it downward in a constant motion. At the same time, another rotor fitted with rotary knives cuts the plant up into uniformly short sections.
This design ensures the plant is shredded during harvest, enabling faster rotting.
The horizontal stalk cutter is located in the front, side area of each row unit.
At full speed, this optimized location ensures the plant is cut close to the ground, resulting in a particularly short stubble that leaves no room for pest survival.
Work results
- Excellent straw spreading quality
- Excellent chopping quality even at high ground speeds
- Eliminates the need for stover post-processing to enable subsequent tillage operations
Stubble scene
- Extremely short, uniform corn stubble
