The RPR Concave System was engineered to "STOP" rotor loss, by allowing more grain to escape in the concaves preventing an overloaded separator. The "Pacman" round bar with a patented 90 degree notch in it was designed to restrict the crop flow and force material to rub on material. The concave is made with 1" round bars with the 90 degree restricted flow notch with progressive open bar spacing. Where the crops comes in, on the right side of the combine, the spacing is 7/8" between the bars and progresses to a 1-1/8" opening between the bars on the left side of the combine.

This design enables the separation of crops in the threshing area, reducing the likelyhood of an overloaded separator which is the primary cause of rotor loss. The progressive bar spacing within the concave ensures that more grain is effectively unloaded as it passes through the concave system. This flow was increased by 68% over stock round bars with 5/8" bars and 5/8" openings. The adjustable covers are designed to hold in material to encourage more grain-on-grain threshing, they are typically used in all crops except corn.

This is all followed up by the placing of the Disrupter lugs into your existing separating grates to fluff up the crop mat to finish the separation operation.

Stock round bar concaves work reasonable well in that they don`t plug often in good conditions, and therefore can be "universally" used across crops and conditions, but the rotor loss and grain damage in corn is unacceptable. There is more mechanical damage done to grain by round bars than anything else. The 90 degree bar is more aggressive than a round bar, with the 90 degree notch creating a square edge so it threshes like a square bar, but with round bar advantages. The patented RPR Concave System reduces plugging, rotor loss, and increases ground speed. To go from corn to beans (or other harder threshing crops), all you have to do is open the machine and install the cover plates.

The Original RPR Concave System by CM Welding, Donnie Estes located in Frankfort, Indiana. Over the years thousands of farmers have purchased from CM Welding, and "come by the shop" where the RPR calls home. The RPR Concave system was designed, tested and patent of the 90 degree bar filed in 2012. Distributed by Estes Performance Concaves and dealers worldwide.
