Abstract:
A conveying device for a root crop harvester has an endless conveying member combined of monolithic structural elements connected sequentially to each other in a belt shape. The structural elements each have an entrainment member and a support surface supporting objects to be transported on the endless conveying member. The structural elements each have at least one connecting zone. The structural elements in the connected position each form a flat element connected sequentially at the connecting zone, respectively. In the connected position of the structural elements, the entrainment members extend transversely to a conveying direction of the endless conveying member and between the transversely extending entrainment members the support surfaces are positioned, respectively.
Abstract:
A potato harvester has a lifting device for lifting soil ridges, wherein the lifting device has a digging device with digging shares. At least one support element for supporting the lifting device on the ground is provided. The at least one support element has at least two wheels that are movable along opposite sides of an intermediately positioned soil ridge, respectively. The wheels form a guide unit that supports at least one part of a weight of the at least one digging device, wherein the guide unit controls the digging shares and acts on a soil ridge to be lifted as an intake aid.
Abstract:
A picking apparatus having at least one holder movable in a working direction. The holder has at least one conveying device with a front gathering region. The produce bearing plants come in contact with the conveying device in the front gathering region. The conveying device is operable to gather and transport plants in at least one conveying direction. The conveying direction extend in a straight or substantially straight line and transverse or substantially transverse to the working direction. The picking apparatus also has a picking gap defined behind the conveying device, wherein the plants are guided through the picking gap while separating the produce.
Abstract:
An apparatus for compacting stalk material, having a feeding device for feeding material to be pressed, having at least one pair of press drums which can be driven in opposite directions and which each have circumferential receiving grooves and compression rings in an alternate manner alongside one another in the axial direction, wherein the compression rings of one press drum engage in the receiving grooves of the other press drum, wherein at least one press drum is provided with a cavity and wherein this at least one press drum has a multiplicity of radially extending press channels in a manner distributed over the circumference, said press channels in each case connecting the groove bottom of the receiving grooves to the cavity, provision is made for the compression rings to have a circumferential profile having protrusions formed for example by radially external teeth having tooth tips.

Abstract:
Picking arrangement for picking at least one fruit (36) located on an elongate stem (33) of a plant (34), has a holder (3), that can be moved along the ground (9), and having an elongate picking gap (30), which is provided on the holder (3), bounded by lateral edges (31) and through which the stem (33) can be guided. The fruit (36) is separated off along the edges (31) in the process, wherein the picking gap (30) is oriented such that the step (33) can be fed to the picking gap (30) with its longitudinal axis oriented parallel, or essentially parallel, to the longitudinal axis of the picking gap (30).

Abstract:
A conveying device has a support frame and a conveying member with at least two driven conveying belts that circulate in parallel to one another and with a conveying fabric having at least one support surface and being arranged between the at least two conveying belts. The at least two conveying belts have inner sides facing one another; the inner sides have recesses. The conveying fabric has lateral edges inserted into the recesses. Support parts are attached in an overlapping area or an abutting area where the lateral edges of the conveying fabric and the at least two conveying belts overlap or abut one another. The support parts project upwardly past a plane of the support surface.
Abstract:
A stalk chopping adapter has a frame which can be attached to the front end of a harvester combine and supports two forwardly extending downwardly inclined parallel rotors which are driven in opposite directions. The rotors have longitudinally extending axially parallel or helical blades which cooperate to draw delivered stalks downwardly and to crush and/or sever the stalks. Alternatively, the blades of one of the rotors are slotted and only this rotor cooperates with stationary knives to sever stalks which are advanced toward the ground of a field for crops to be harvested under the combined action of the blades on the two rotors. The knives can be mounted on a cover which is pivotally mounted on the frame is adjacent the underside of the rotor having unslotted blades.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are disclosed for the harvesting of corn or other granular fruits, particularly embodied as a front-mounted unit for a reaper, in which the plant stems are drawn through a picking aperture and a separation of the fruit from the plant is characterized in that the plant is grasped only on one side and is drawn through the picking aperture.
