<p>A self-propelled crop harvester having a header (14) for harvesting crop material, a macerator (20) for shredding the crop into small particles, a press (22) for separating the crop material into liquid and fibrous fractions, a blower (24) for conveying the fibrous fraction into a trailing wagon (28) a separator (34) for separating the liquid fraction into a protein portion and a heated deproteinized juice, and a system (40, 42, 44) for directing the deproteinized juice in a high pressure flow to cut the standing crop at the header. In another embodiment the heated juice is applied to the standing crop to moisten and heat the crop for more efficient subsequent processing.</p> |
