Abstract

The invention relates to a sorting apparatus for harvested crops comprising root crops, in particular a root crop sorting apparatus, comprising: an upper feed element; at least one lower discharge element spaced apart from the feed element via a drop stage; and a separating device having a plurality of separating elements which are arranged next to one another across the width of the drop stage and can each be pivoted about a separating-element axis by means of a pivot drive of a drive device, wherein, during operation, each separating element guides a portion of the harvested crops into a separating region that is separate from the discharge element, wherein the separating elements located in the drop stage each have two impact surfaces by means of which, during operation of the sorting apparatus, the harvested crops can be guided either in the direction of the discharge element or in the direction of the separating region, depending on the pivot angle of the separating element.

Abstract

A root crop harvesting machine has a crop lifting device that has associated therewith downstream in the conveying direction an ascending first sorting stretch with substantially unchangeable working width. The crop is conveyed across a cleaning stretch to a collecting bunker, wherein a conveying run movable along the ascending sorting stretch is guided to a top drop zone where the conveyed material is transferred onto a downstream conveying stretch. The conveying run in the area of an upper unloading end interacts with at least one deflection conveying unit receiving the conveyed crop stream. This upper deflection conveying unit is provided with at least one separating device that, in working position, is moveable into a position of lateral projecting width so as to project at least on one side past the receiving width of the machine; from this position, it is returnable into a travel position for road travel.

Abstract

A separating device for separating a crop from a mixture with admixtures has a drop stage and a conveying device supplying the mixture in a conveyed stream to the drop stage. An air stream is supplied to the drop stage, wherein the mixture is falling in the drop stage and is affected by the air stream, wherein the drop stage effects loosening of the mixture. A retaining element is arranged downstream of the drop stage so as to face the mixture falling in the drop stage. The air stream interacts with the retaining element. Downstream of the retaining element the crop and solid bodies separated from the mixture are transported farther as separated individual parts in substantially opposite conveying directions. A diverting device is provided that can at least partially divert the conveyed stream upstream of the retaining element.

Abstract

The invention relates to a separation system for a potato harvesting machine or a preparation machine for separating potatoes, or similar crops, from a mixture of clods, stones, and similar solid bodies. A conveying assembly is thereby utilized to feed the essentially compact mixture as a delivery flow, from where the mixture displaced into the area of at least one drop stage, and thereby influenced by way of a conveying means in the form of an air stream, can be separated. Thereafter, at least the harvested material and the solid bodies, respectively, can be moved on as individual separated goods, and can be moved out of the separation system. The system according to the invention is characterized in that subsequently to the drop stage bringing about a loosening of the mixture, at least one retaining element located opposite the falling separated goods and interacting with the at least one air stream is provided. It is thus achieved in a surprisingly simple way that from there, at least the harvested material and the solid bodies, respectively, can be moved on separately in an essentially opposite conveying direction as sorted individual lots.
