Increasing harvester pour rate is a common strategy for reducing direct harvesting costs. However, high pour rates also reduce the effectiveness of harvester cleaning systems, and exacerbate cane loss at high extractor speeds. The value lost to these side effects has...
Increased harvesting speed has been carried out to provide the large increases in productivity required by the harvesting fleet to manage sugarcane-industry cost pressures. Whilst the power and processing throughput of the harvesters has been able to easily meet this...
SCHLOT Live is a real-time cane-loss quantification system for sugarcane harvesters, making this information available to both the operator and other value-chain stakeholders. SCHLOT Live measures the net power consumption of the extractor fans as they...
