– Set the speed of the complete beet flow as optimally as possible.
Match the speeds of the pickup rollers to the 4-set (quadruple) pinch rollers. Set the
speeds of the pickup rollers and 4-set pinch rollers to such a high speed that the
beets picked up are moved to the infeed conveyor without buildup.
When selecting the speed, consider the degree of soiling of the beets.
In case of very soiled beets and wet ground, you should select a higher speed. This
means that the rollers should be running faster than under "good" conditions.
