This sheet metal plate is part of the cleaning unit on a grain harvester. It is positioned in the spreader assembly to direct the flow of material leaving the sieves. The plate guides chaff and straw residue toward the rear of the machine, ensuring even distribution across the full width of the swath. A bent or worn plate disrupts the spread pattern, causing uneven residue distribution behind the combine. The plate is manufactured to the original geometry, matching the mounting hole pattern and thickness of the factory component so no modification is needed during installation.
