Feed for root crop harvester - comprises swinging baffle and endless belt conveyor underneath chain conveyor and scraper roller which separates weeds from crop

摘要

The boom (4) swings at its lower end (3) which is as near as possible to the conveyor (6), and there is a baffle (5). The active part of the mechanism is an endless chain or band conveyor (6) which revolves around two rollers (7). The main feed is an inclined chain sieve conveyor (1) near the upper end of which is a scraper roller (2) which removes the weeds from the potatoes or beet before passing them on to the baffle (4, 5). This in turn moves the crop on to the lower belt or chain conveyor from which the potatoes are discharged for packing. ADVANTAGE - Efficient and compact with reduced risk of jamming.
