6.15.1 Structural design of the water spray system
The water spray system is designed for wetting the pinch rollers in particularly sticky
soil conditions. It is also ideal for gentle loading of beets that have become extremely
soft and dry due to exposure to sun and wind. The beet flow moves more easily over
wetted pinch rollers. This reduces losses during loading. The water required for wet-
ting is filled into the water tank (5), initially not pressurised, from above. The pressure
required for spraying is generated by the machine air compressor.
The water spray system is easily switched on and off from the driver's seat.
