Inflow sheets
Blockages in front of the scalper flails, particularly in the case of low lying beets and
wilting beet leaf, are usually caused by:
Worn inflow sheets
Incorrectly adjusted inflow sheets with inflow skids (option)
Heavily soiled scalper
Regularly clean the scalper of sticking dirt, leaf residue and similar foreign objects, so
that the weight of the scalper does not increase needlessly.
Inflow sheet without skid
The inflow sheet (1) must be checked once a week for wear. The inflow sheet must be
replaced once it no longer protrudes over the lower edge of the scalper flail.
Inflow sheet with skid (option)
The inflow skid (2) must be checked once a week for wear. Once the bearing surface
of the inflow skid (2) might be worn, the inflow skid (ROPA item no. 120565800) must
be replaced. Should the inflow sheet (1) (ROPA item no. 120565700) be also dam-
aged, it has to be replaced. Setting inflow sheet with skid (See Page 247).
