Case-IH® Compatible Stainless Steel Beater Plate Cover
Optimise your crop flow and residue management with this premium C&M Australian-made beater plate cover. Specifically designed for Case-IH® Flagship Axial-Flow combine harvesters, this extended wear blanking plate is used to cover the beater grate, directing material efficiently through the beater and into the chopper system.
Manufactured in our Griffith factory from 2mm grade 304 stainless steel, this cover provides a high-performance solution for configuring your machine for different crops, such as transitioning between small grains and corn. By utilising stainless steel, this unit prevents premature wear common with standard plates, ensuring a longer service life and smoother material transition.

Expert Maintenance Review
The beater plate cover (or blanking plate) is a vital tool for managing crop residue and protecting the beater grate in abrasive conditions. When harvesting crops like corn, the standard grate can be subject to intense impact; installing a high-strength stainless cover prevents grate damage and ensures all material is processed by the chopper. We recommend inspecting the mounting holes for wear whenever the plate is removed or installed.
Upgrading to a 304 stainless steel cover is a high-performance choice for preventative maintenance. Unlike carbon steel plates that can become rough over time, the stainless surface remains smooth, preventing material "slugging" and keeping your residue system in top condition. This extended wear solution is essential for operators looking to maximise machine versatility across multiple crop types.
Installation Tip: Bolt Selection
When fitting this cover, always use high-quality Class 8.8 M10x25mm Cuphead bolts. Using lower-grade fasteners can lead to bolt shearing under the high vibration and material load present in the beater area. Ensure all 18 fasteners are torqued correctly to maintain a flush, reinforced fit against the grate.
