6 Operation
– The feed speed of the traction drive is used to additionally take effect on the degree
of cleaning:
Low feed speed à thin beet cover on the rollers à all beets pass through a double
cleaning path = greater cleaning effect.
High feed speed à a thick beet cover on the rollers à only some of the beets pass
through the double cleaning path = lower cleaning effect and a gentler treatment of
the beets.
Optimal distribution of beets across the entire width of the pickup.
We strongly recommend that the frost breakers are never removed from the pickup side
sections. These serve as valuable aids for monitoring the correct feeding quantity. As
long as the beets do not jam on the frost breakers, then a blockage of the beet flow is
virtually impossible. You regulate the supply of beets via the feed speed of the traction
drive.
A uniform beet flow at a reasonable throughput without any beetjams
and with a high degree of cleaning.
