Cleaning your sample just became a whole lot easier! Instead of wasting valuable time with hand sieves, or your own breath, we supply our customers with an air separator in every set. Highly portable and equipped with a variable speed fan, this unit allows you to clean your sample within seconds compared to minutes wasted in the field. It will blow your mind, just as well as it blows the chaff and straw away from your grain kernels.
Why Should You Be Checking for Losses?
- When you invest a lot of time and money into growing your crop, why wouldn’t you want to make sure you are harvesting as much of your crop as possible? Your yield is paying the bills and that’s why you want as much grain in the bin and less wasted in the field.
- Modern farming emphasizes precision and efficiency. Farmers calibrate seeders, planters, and sprayers, focusing on ensuring the crop gets the proper nutrients in the right quantities and making sure chemical applications are as precise as possible. Put that same focus and attention on maximizing your harvest efficiency by calibrating your combine.
- We have been working on the best and most efficient design of combine drop pan systems. Let’s face it, if it’s not fast and easy, you won’t do it! Especially when it’s harvest time and every minute that combine is standing still, feels like hours. Trust us, we know how that feels!
- Savings from farmers have been reported anywhere from 2% to >10%. Just imagine harvesting and selling that much more grain because you have spent a few minutes every day checking your combine harvest loss. Click here to read a real farmer ROI example.
It pays for itself!
These are the most heard responses from customers and it fills us with pride.

Fast, Effective Sample Cleaning
“Using sieves in the past took us easily 20min and more. The separator is a must have tool for us now.” Ian, Katanning – Australia
Precision Measurement
To put a number to your measured sample, we supply you with a high-quality digital field scale. Weigh the grain sample and use our SmartDrop App for fast and easy industry-certified loss analysis. Whether you’re dropping or spreading the straw, using chaff carts or seed destructors, our scenario-based calculations will help you to put the loss in perspective. The App calculates in both Metric and Imperial, and even let’s you save your machine and crop settings to keep records for future quick reference.
Share your results with your drivers, team and friends by messenger or email. Access combine tips created by PAMI and the Canola Council of Canada to fine-tune your settings.

THREE SIZES FOR YOUR NEEDS
40`` SmartPan System - The Flagship
40” – 1m
This is our most versatile DROP PAN! It fits perfectly on the back axle, which allows you to check your losses from the rotor and the sieves.
It is great in high stubble crops (with stripper headers, canola, hemp, corn, sunflower, etc.). It fits beneath the feeder house, to be kept safe and high enough away from the tall stubble compared to the back axle mounting point.
When attached to the header, it allows you to understand your header losses as well as your losses while using a chaff spreader/chopper implement.
It is a must-have for anyone that is harvesting grains and specialty crops.
PRO-TIP: Use two FLAGSHIP solutions with our SMART DROP app and collect samples from the back axle and header at the same time. This allows you to truly understand your losses while harvesting in spread mode.
60`` SmartPan System - The Wide Setup
60” – 1.5m
This DROP PAN is for those growers and agriculturists that would like to take a slightly different approach to sample collection and combine calibration. It is great for collecting a sample from the entire width of the sieves while dropping straw and chaff in a windrow.
20`` SmartPan System - The Mini
20” – 0.5m
This is a terrific solution for plot and research combines – drumroll researchers and agronomists. The MINI is ideal for collecting samples in long stubble conditions with 30” row spacing (corn, sorghum, sunflowers, etc.) It fits between the wide stubble rows and works well with other implement options such as chaff decks.
Narrow Drop Pan
The 40 & 60” systems come with a narrow drop pan included. This works great for taller stubble conditions, like straight cut canola, hemp, corn and grain harvested with a stripper header.
The design of the narrow drop pan splits the stubble as it falls in between and can prevent the pan from tipping over. Stubble conditions are different in every field and every year, that’s why both style pans are included in the system. You always have the option to use either one on your farm.
Drop or spread your straw for testing? We help you with both!
We give you the option to check in both scenarios.
Attach the system to multiple locations on combine or header for different crop and stubble conditions.
Check your loss the way you combine.
