biomassenreiniger with improvements in harvesting machines and related methods

摘要

A biomass cleaner (10) of a harvesting machine, comprises at least a first sieve (11) for sieving biomass and having one or more first sieve apertures (13) that are openable and closeable in dependence on control commands; an air fan (16) the speed of which is adjustable in dependence on control commands; and one or more control devices that generate the said control commands, the first sieve (16) defining a support for biomass that is sieveable via the sieve; and the biomass cleaner including one or more pressure sensors (17) for generating one or more signals that are related to the pressure of air in the vicinity of the biomass. The or each pressure sensor is operatively connected to supply the said signals to a control device that derives therefrom further estimates of the sieve losses and/or the MOG content of the biomass, as defined herein, during operation thereof.
