Case-IH® Compatible Stainless Steel Tailing Elevator Bottom Plate
Restore the efficiency of your grain handling system with this premium C&M Australian-made stainless steel tailing elevator bottom plate. Specifically engineered for Case-IH® mid-series Axial-Flow combines, this high-performance plate is the professional solution for repairing worn components in the tailings return system.
Manufactured in our Griffith factory from heavy-duty 3mm grade 304 stainless steel, this plate offers vastly superior abrasion resistance compared to standard carbon steel units. While the material naturally resists corrosion, its primary role is to withstand the high-velocity friction of unthreshed heads and grain. This extended wear construction ensures your elevator boot stays in top condition, providing a significantly longer service life through high-volume harvests.

Expert Maintenance Review
The tailing elevator bottom plate is a high-impact friction zone where abrasive crop material is redirected up the elevator. Standard painted steel plates often suffer from rapid thinning and "pin-holing," leading to grain leaks and reduced elevator capacity. We recommend inspecting the boot surface for abrasion thinning during every preventative maintenance check.
Upgrading to this high-performance stainless steel plate is a strategic way to save money by preventing "blow-outs" mid-harvest. The polished, low-friction surface maintains the original profile of the elevator boot, ensuring smooth grain handling and a longer service life for the entire tailings return assembly.
Installation Tip: Verify Paddle Clearance
When installing your new high-strength stainless bottom plate, ensure the tailings elevator chain and paddles are correctly tensioned. Worn or rounded paddles will struggle to clear material effectively from the new plate surface. Replacing worn paddles alongside this plate ensures maximum return capacity and keeps your machine in top condition.
