Abstract: A harvester lifts plant material and usable product off the ground using a header to create one or more distinct ribbons of material which are each fed axially into the front of rotating foraminous drums carrying stripper springs and within which a rotor with threshing springs and a screw conveyor on its outer surface is cooperatively mounted. The usable product thus separated from the plant material exits the foraminous drums to be collected and conveyed to the cleaning portion of the harvester. The product and foreign material are mechanically sized using a series of rollers and an air stream separates the product for subsequent trimming of stems therefrom. The product is then deposited on a sizing conveyor further separation and weighing.

Abstract: A harvest weighing mechanism utilizes a variable speed conveyor comprised of evenly spaced solid rods such that marketable product is suspended on the rods while small foreign material falls between the rods. The product moves at the same velocity as the conveyor until discharged and directed into an impact plate attached to an impact sensor. As the product collides with the impact plate the resultant deflection of the impact plate is converted to an electronic signal which is sent to a control box which uses an algorithm to convert radial velocity to linear velocity and through laws of energy conservation determines the weight of the product required to cause the deflection measured by the impact sensor.
