ABSTRACT:
The invention provides self propelled harvester that tops, cuts, cleans and oads "whole stalk green sugar cane".
The canes are flexed forward by the movement of the harvester by means of a roller, while the base is cut with a pair of counter rotating disk cutters per row. The base cutters automatically follow the level of the ground using by spherically dished sliders pivotably connected to cutter shafts. The topped canes, with attached green and dry leaves are fed gently but firmly into the front section of the machine through a single, full width, large 100 dm2 throat, helped by vertical and-horizontal rubber rollers. By the action of the rotation of preferably three pairs of rollers and paddles, rocks, tramp iron, cans, bottles, soil, and mud, fall through the paddles, and through grizzlies back to the ground; all materials over 0.05 Mt. are retained by the grizzlies, which can be emptied at the operators choice. Inside the body of the harvester, bellow and above the cane, a series of special rubber rollers that continuously increase in peripheral speed, spreads and advances the cane. As the cane proceeds further and faster into the harvester's body, all leaves are detached, and eventually fall through the rollers and brushes to a conveyor that is moving up, on the bottom of the harvester's body; this conveyor empties through an opening of the body. The clean cane at a adjustable speed from 7 to 9 Mt./sec is discharged from the rear of the body at an elevation to fill a semitrailer hitched behind of the prime mover.
