Harvester of sugar cane or similar products

摘要

The invention relates to a harvester of sugar cane or similar products which provides a significant reduction of moving parts and more efficient cleaning of the harvested product than was hitherto possible. This is accomplished by replacing the individual known components for cutting, elevating and cleaning of the cane by a single rotating mechanism provided with a single shaft of reversible rotation and which is fitted with displaceable knives and fixed throwing vanes or wings, which vanes are enclosed in a cylinder with a top outlet discharging the cane billets into a movable duct.
