Vehicle for picking up, cutting and transporting e.g. stem or leaf crops, has ends of teeth segments protruding specific distance from rotor body in collection device

摘要

The ends of the teeth segments (6) on the rotor body (2) for transporting the crops protrude from the rotor body by a distance equal to at least 50 % of the height of the teeth (8). The vehicle has a cutting device comprising a means for transporting the produce along a transport channel and blades protruding into the channel in order to cut the produce into pieces. The transport means comprises a rotor (1) with a cylindrical rotor body forming the inner side of the channel and teeth which protrude from the rotor body and extend between the blades. The teeth are used to press the produce against and along the blades and are present in at least two segments secured to the rotor body. The segments are joined end to end to form a ring of teeth (3). A collector device for picking up the produce is also provided.
