Agricultural Harvesting Machinery and Dryers Zaffrani

Founded in 1951 in Corridonia (Macerata province, Marche region, Italy), F.lli Zaffrani srl (Officine Meccaniche Zaffrani) has developed more than seven decades of specialized manufacturing expertise in agricultural harvesting attachments and mobile grain processing machinery. Serving commercial farming enterprises worldwide, the company combines artisanal precision engineering with modern automated fabrication facilities.

Zaffrani Sunflow Row-Free Sunflower Harvesting Headers

Zaffrani Sunflow rowless continuous-cut sunflower headers with working widths from 6.0 to 12.0 m fit all combine harvesters. Elongated lifting pans and an adjustable reel gently feed seed heads with minimal losses.

Working widths 6.0 to 12.0 m: adaptable to Claas, John Deere, Case IH, and New Holland
Streamlined gathering pans: gentle separation and lifting of tangled and lodged crops
Schumacher cutterbar system: sharp cutting of thick wet sunflower stalks at 1200 spm
Adjustable hood and reel: steady feeding into intake auger without seed shelling

Zaffrani Maisflow Corn Harvesting Headers with Integrated Chopper

Zaffrani Maisflow corn headers from 4 to 12 rows are available in rigid and hydraulically folding frames. Underslung stalk choppers with reversible hardened blades shred corn stalks into fine mulch for rapid decomposition.

From 4 to 12 rows: spacing 70 or 75 cm with rigid or hydraulic folding transport frames
Aggressive deck plates and snap rolls: fast stalk pull-down with gentle ear snapping
Integrated rotary stalk chopper: consistent low-stubble shredding for field residue
Individual row-unit torque limiters: driveline overload and rock impact protection

Zaffrani Collector Belt Pickup Attachments for Swathed Crops

Zaffrani Collector belt pickups with working widths of 3.0, 3.8, and 4.2 m are engineered for swathed cereal grains, legumes, and canola. Continuous belted aprons with flexible spring tines lift windrows cleanly.

Pickup widths 3.0, 3.8, and 4.2 m: clean recovery of swathed grains, beans, and canola
Seamless pickup belt with spring tines: non-shelling transport of delicate windrows
Adjustable caster wheels: responsive floatation prevents tine contact with soil
Large-diameter auger with fingers: uniform crop stream into combine feederhouse

Zaffrani Direct-Fire Mobile Recirculating Batch Grain Dryers

Zaffrani mobile direct-fire batch grain dryers with capacities from 9 to 45 m³ deliver high-efficiency moisture extraction for feed grains and oilseeds. Featuring automated burners and vertical recirculating augers.

Chamber capacities 9 to 45 m³: rapid drying of wheat, barley, maize, and sunflower
Automated Riello burners: precise modulation ensures constant drying air temperature
PTO shaft or electric motor drive: autonomous operation in fields or grain yards
Graduated-pitch central auger: gentle continuous circulation prevents grain breakage

Zaffrani Indirect-Fire Clean Air Grain Dryers with Heat Exchanger

Zaffrani indirect-fire grain dryers feature refractory stainless steel heat exchangers that isolate combustion exhaust from drying air. Ideal for food-grade milling grains, malting barley, and certified seed crops.

Three-pass stainless heat exchanger: zero contact between flue gases and grain
Safe food grain processing: preserves germination vigour, seed purity, and quality
Centrifugal dust cyclone aspiration: removes chaff and dust during recirculation
Heavy-duty road chassis: agile tractor towing between farming sites and silos

Zaffrani Specialized Gentle Dryers for Hard-Shell Nuts

Zaffrani hard-shell nut dryers are designed for gentle, uniform drying of hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, and chestnuts. Low-temperature airflow and continuous gentle mixing prevent shell cracking and oil oxidation.

Optimized chamber perforation: maximum hot airflow through nut batches without loss
Gentle cycle below 45 °C: preserves natural aromatic oils and moisture balance
Slow-speed recirculation auger: uniform drying without cracking delicate shells
Electronic sensors: automated burner cut-off when target humidity is reached

Zaffrani Transport Header Trailers and Quick-Attach Adapters

Single-axle and tandem-axle Zaffrani header trailers with payloads up to 6000 kg provide safe road transport for wide combine headers. Equipped with adjustable supports and certified road braking systems.

Payload up to 6000 kg: secure towing of wide-span headers with widths up to 12 meters
Adjustable support cradles: versatile mounting for sunflower and corn headers
Heavy-duty tow hitch and overrun brakes: smooth tracking on highways and farm tracks
12V/24V traffic lighting kit: tail lights, turn indicators, and warning reflectors

Zaffrani Genuine Spare Parts, Schumacher Cutterbars and Wear Parts

SpareX supplies original OEM replacement parts and wear components for Zaffrani equipment: genuine Schumacher knife assemblies, knife sections, pickup teeth, transmission belts, and Riello burner spares.

Original Schumacher cutting sections and guard fingers: wear-resistant alloy steel
Pickup tines and continuous belts: high elasticity ensures reliable swath lifting
Hardened auger flights, bearings, and V-belts: ready kits for pre-season overhaul
Replacement fuel nozzles and ignition electrodes for Riello industrial burners

Manufacturing Heritage and Engineering Expertise of Zaffrani in Italy

Serving commercial farming enterprises worldwide, the company combines artisanal precision engineering with modern automated fabrication facilities.

The modern factory complex of Zaffrani integrates robotic MIG/MAG welding cells, automated sheet metal shearing and laser cutting, shot blasting, and electrostatic powder coating.

Every header and mobile dryer undergoes thorough kinematic balancing, hydraulic pressure proofing, and electrical diagnostics prior to international dispatch.

Sunflow Sunflower Harvesting Technology and Schumacher Cutting Systems

Zaffrani Sunflow continuous-cut sunflower headers eliminate row dependency, allowing combine harvesters to operate at optimal field speeds regardless of planting patterns, row widths, or irregular plant spacing.

Heavy-duty pan lifters with rounded tips gently guide sunflower stalks toward the cutterbar, preventing premature head drop and stalk breakage.

All Zaffrani headers are fitted with genuine German Schumacher cutting systems, including Pro-Cut bolted knife sections, forged steel guard fingers, and heavy-duty planetary knife drives operating at up to 1200 strokes per minute.

The high-speed straight-line cutting motion slices cleanly through thick fibrous stalks without vibration, while an adjustable intake reel directs seed heads smoothly into the central auger.

Maisflow Corn Headers with Integrated Stalk Chopper and Overload Protection

For maize harvesting, Zaffrani Maisflow headers from 4 to 12 rows are available with rigid frames or hydraulic folding transport frames with between-row spacings of 70 or 75 cm.

Counter-rotating snapping rolls with heat-treated knife blades draw down corn stalks rapidly while adjustable stripper plates gently detach ears without kernel shelling.

An underslung rotary stalk chopper fitted below each row unit operates close to ground level, cleanly pulverizing tough corn stalks into fine mulch for accelerated organic decomposition.

Each row gearbox and chopper unit is protected by an autonomous slip clutch running in a sealed oil bath, preventing mechanical failure upon encountering rocks or foreign obstacles in the field.

Collector Swath Pickups and Mobile Direct-Fire Recirculating Grain Dryers

Zaffrani Collector belt pickup attachments are engineered for the gentle collection of windrowed grains, legumes, canola, and specialty grass seeds.

The heavy-duty continuous belted apron with resilient spring tines lifts swaths cleanly off stubble without knocking out ripe seeds, while height-adjustable caster wheels maintain uniform ground floatation over uneven terrain.

For on-farm grain conditioning, Zaffrani mobile direct-fire batch dryers provide holding capacities from 9 to 45 m³.

Driven by tractor PTO or integrated electric motors, the dryers utilize a central graduated-pitch vertical auger that continuously circulates grain upward, exposing the falling curtain of seed to thermostatically regulated hot air generated by Riello industrial burners.

Indirect-Fire Heat Exchanger Grain Dryers and Turnkey Worldwide Export

For premium food-grade cereal crops, malting barley, certified seeds, and edible hard-shell nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, chestnuts), Zaffrani manufactures indirect-fire dryers equipped with three-pass stainless steel tubular heat exchangers.

The design ensures 100% physical separation between combustion flue gases and drying air, preserving seed germination vigor and food safety standards.
