4.1 Function
This is a self-propelled working machine for picking up, cleaning and loading of sugar
beet in piles at the side of the field.
Picking up of sugar beet is performed using a roller system. The first roller, the pickup
roller, works several centimetres into the ground, picks up the sugar beet and lifts it
over a cleaning roller onto three conveyor rollers. The conveyor rollers transport the
beet outward. Fingers are attached to the conveyor rollers. These pre-clean the sugar
beet and move the beet to the four counter-rotating pinch rollers located to the rear.
The front and rear rollers may be individually adjusted in their speed. The direction of
rotation of the rollers is reversible. Operating disturbances due to jammed stones are
generally automatically detected and remedied by the machine.
If needed, the last sugar beet may be pulled onto the pickup rollers using the residual
beet pickup controlled via the left joystick in the driver's cabin. No manual assistance
is required.
The main cleaning action is performed on the rollers at the front of the machine. The
counter-rotating rollers pull out soil, weeds and other impurities. Depending on equip-
ment options, further cleaning is then performed using a sieve conveyor or a roller
cleaner transporting the sugar beet to the truck conveyor. The truck conveyor moves
the sugar beets to the transport vehicle.
All computers are networked via a CAN bus and supply all information to the driver on
the large capacity colour terminal R-Touch. All functions of the machine are controlled
and monitored by a single person from the driver's cabin.
