Cutting:thecanestalksarecutatthebaseand
deposited on ive-row windrows oriented
towards the planting lines
Cuttingandloading:doublehorizontalrotating
disks for cutting helped by helicoidal rotating
cones feeders (helpful for non-erect cane
harvesting)
Cuttingandfeeding:doublehorizontaldisksforbase
cutting helped by a pair of rotating cones with
helicoidal edges for separating, elevating, and
feeding the non-erect cane with intercrossed stalks
between the lines
Tops cutting: cutting by inertial blades fed by
two converging counter-wise rotors
(mainly for erect cane)
Tops cutting: inertial cutting through a disk with
peripheral trapezoidal knives fed by two converging
counter wise rotors
Loading: grab loaders with hydraulic
handlers mounted on tractors remove
600-1,200kgbunchthataretransferred
to the transporting vehicle
(costofloading:US$0.5-0.6perton)
Elevation and dirt separation: cascade of
paired-mounted rolls, rotating in opposite
directions with increasing tangential speed to
the chopper
Elevation and dirt separation: cascade of paired-
mounted rolls, rotating in opposite directions with
increasing tangential speed to the discharge
Choppingandventilation:tworotatingaxialknives
with contrary and synchronized rotation, chop
and upload the material in a pneumatic
cleaning chamber to separate the leaves by
terminal velocity
Mowing and discharge: the whole stalks are launched
to the interior of a bin where they are accumulated
to form a bunch to be discharged in regular
intervals forming rows perpendicular to the
planting lines. The trafic during the loading
operation should be perpendicular to the furrows
which has been a rejecting factor by the harvester's
users because of trucks and loaders overloading
