This deflector plate mounts at the rear of the threshing unit to redirect material flow from the rotor or cylinder toward the separation system. It is positioned downstream of the threshing drum and upstream of the straw walkers or cleaning shoe, controlling the trajectory of the crop stream as it exits the threshing zone. A worn or bent deflector plate allows material to fall prematurely, reducing separation efficiency and increasing grain loss over the walkers. The plate is formed to the original contour so it maintains the correct clearance and angle relative to the rotating components, preventing contact or obstruction. On installation, verify that the mounting holes align with the frame brackets and that the plate does not interfere with the adjacent housing.
