Separator device and cleaning system for a stream harvested by a fruit harvesting machine

摘要

A device for separating a harvested crop stream, the device being mounted in a fruit harvesting machine. The separator device includes longitudinal separator members (2) and a conveyor belt (3), which is driven in a longitudinal direction between an upstream roller (4) and a downstream roller (5). The separator members (2) are fastened, behind the upstream roller (4), by fixing the members to the frame (1) and, in front of the upstream roller, by a rotary member (12) mounted on the frame (1). The rotary member includes paddles (13), which are adapted to hold the separator members (2) in position during rotation of the member. The invention also relates to a cleaning system including this kind of separator device and a harvesting machine including this kind of cleaning system.
