More Information
Summary:The present invention relates to a harvesting conveyors module, particularly appropriate for sugar cane harvesting, comprising a lifting mechanism (1) arranged horizontally and able to be vertically moved; a base cutting mechanism (7); a deflector mechanism (6) arranged above the lifting mechanism (1) and configured to deflect and aid the displacement of cutted stems to a pulling mechanism (9), said pulling mechanism comprising conveyors, an upper conveyor (10) and a lower conveyor (11); a lifting foil (8) placed near to the lower end of the conveyors (10, 11); a transferring mechanism (12) appropriate to receive the stems from pulling mechanism (9) and transfer them to a chopper mechanism (13), said chopper mechanism (13) being arranged in sequence to the said transferring mechanism (12), and a stretcher mechanism (14) acts on the upper conveyor (10) of the pulling mechanism.The invention also relates to a process for sugar cane harvesting with a module, such process minimizing the forces applied onto the root.
