ABSTRACT:
A vehicle mounted cane cleaning apparatus is disclosed including a large drum having inwardly facing conveyor pockets mounted for rotation about a horizontal front-to-rear axis on a tracked vehicle; cane segments are hurled from a conventional segmentizer into a lower portion of the drum against a shroud plate and rotating perforated cylinder across which a trash removing airflow is provided by blower means. Rotation of the drum carries the can upwardly to a location at which it falls downwardly in a cascade of segments across which a fan driven airflow extends for removing remaining additional trash particles with the cleaned cane segments falling on conveyor means carrying the segments rearwardly and then transversely to a receiving vehicle. A lower shroud and fan arrangement providing the airflow across the lower portion of the drum includes a mechanical conveyor receiving heavier trash particles from the rotating perforated cylinder for conveying such heavier particles rearwardly for discharge from the vehicle.
