The effectiveness of maize harvesting is significantly impacted by the parameters of snapping rollers, which have a crucial function in separating maize ears from the stalks. The present study examines the influence of several snapping roller parameters, such as rotational speed, roller spacing, and surface properties, on the efficiency of maize harvesting. The paper provides a detailed examination of the advancements in snapping roller technology, focusing on improvements that seek to optimize performance and minimize harm to crops. The research highlights significant obstacles, including the need for wear resistance, careful material selection, and the capacity to adapt to various maize kinds. The suggested solutions to these difficulties include the use of improved materials, optimal roller designs, and adaptive control systems. Addressing these difficulties may lead to a substantial improvement in the efficiency and sustainability of maize harvesting operations, as shown by the data. This study offers vital insights for the development of more efficient and durable maize harvesting machinery, eventually leading to enhanced agricultural output and food security.
