<p>An improved half-billet control device (80) in apparatus for separating sugarcane (or the like) into constituent parts, and an improved method for half-billet control. The device (80) is a rotatable guide roll (84) in proximity to a planar slide (82) and transverse to the direction of half-billet (94) movement. The guide roll has annular flexible projection, preferably bristle rows (86), which are parallel to the direction of half-billet movement, perpendicular to the slide, and spaced apart by a distance less than the average billet diameter. Half billets (94) moving along the slide nestle between projections (94) and are thereby reoriented as needed to align their longitudinal axes parallel to the direction of movement.</p> |
