Improving the Process of Separating Cabbage Leaves in a Harvester

Abstract

The results of studies of a pilot plant with a modernized leaf separating device are analyzed. It was found that with the implementation of this technical solution, the process of separating cabbage leaves in the harvester has generally improved. Thus, while varying process factors, the degree of screening of cabbage leaves contained in the samples in all experiments exceeded 80 %. The roller leaf separating device functioned most successfully with the lowest content of cabbage leaves in the flow.
