With the increasing trend of mechanized harvesting of green sugarcane the trash residue needs to be used. Leaving large amounts of trash remaining on the field can sometimes lead to problems such as delay of sprouting of tillers, increased levels of leafhopper infestation and difficulty of tillage operation. Windrowing of trash after harvesting can minimize these problems. To eliminate the operation of trash windrowing and to facilitate the trash decomposition, the Sugarcane Technology Center, CTC (Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira), Brazil developed a trash shredder system for a primary extractor of John Deere chopper sugarcane harvester. Using rotating knives all vegetable material passing through the primary extractor is chopped, thereby reducing the particle size. After some adjustments, preliminary tests were carried out to prove the efficiency of chopping and sugarcane cleaning. The machine produces a much smaller trash particle size than conventional harvesters. The system shows promise in shredding trash either for use at the mill or for dispersion on the field.

Cutting Height

In the mechanized harvest, the quality of the basal cut becomes one of the most important factors because it is associated with sprouting of the cane field. The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of speed at cutting height and damage to the rootstock in function of mechanized harvesting of sugarcane. The variety used was CTC 15, with an average yield of 92.5 t ha-1. The mechanized harvest was conducted without previous burning of the cane field, in an area with a slope of 6% and a spacing of 1.5 meters between rows of planting. Three speeds were selected for movement of the harvester: V1: 3.0, V2: 5.0 and V3: 7.0 km h-1, performed with four replications. The evaluation of the quality of the mechanized harvest in relation to the basal cut was determined with the evaluation of the remaining stumps and the damages caused to rootstocks after the passage of the harvester. The height of cut was measured with a tape measure. For the damages to rootstocks, the chi-square test was applied. The cut height measurements were submitted to ANOVA and the averages were analyzed by Tukey test at 5% probability. The results showed that increase in speed during the operation of mechanized harvesting of sugarcane increased the average height of cut in evaluated treatments, as well as the damages to rootstocks which was higher according to the increase in the speed of the harvester. The increase in the speed of displacement of the sugarcane harvester influenced the height of the cut and the damage to the rootstock.

The cleaning element is not only the key part of the sugarcane harvester, but it is also the bottleneck of the development within the whole stalk of the sugarcane harvester. In this paper, it will theoretically elaborate on the structural forces that act on the spiraled and brushed shape cleaning elements during the process of the sugarcane cleaning. The paper also elaborates on the combined rigidity of elements in different arrangement installations and the maximum stress that acts on its roots. In addition to this，the FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software-ANSYS is used to analyze the structural force, the maximum stress, and the air resistance that is generated during the working process. The results of the analysis have been validated by experimentations. The experimental results indicate that, with the proper spiral angle cleaning element installed, it can both enhance the cleaning efficiency and reduce the maximum stress and the air resistance. Accordingly, it can improve the cleaning quality, prolong the working life of the cleaning element, and reduce the idling power waste of the cleaning device.
