Dispositivo para remoção de palha de cana-de-açúcar durante a colheita.

Abstract

A design and evaluation of a whole stick sugarcane trash remove system by oscillating cylinders with differential angular velocity is described. A single variety of sugarcane is used during the evaluation testes, where the damage to the stoke and gemma, and the percentage of leaves removed as a function of the angular velocity of the cylinders and springs initial load. The results showed that the leaves removal as successful with a efficiency up to 82.5% with out any significant damage to the stoke.
