On fields the cleaning of beet is made by means of the botvorezhushchy and silage equipment. Before works each machine undergoes thorough control. Start excavation of root crops at once after cleaning of tops of vegetable.
The purpose of the company on cleaning of beet – collecting root crops with the smallest losses and expenses. Collect not only "backs", but also "vershoks". The tops of vegetable will go for processing for production of forages for the cattle.
When do begin cleaning of beet?
Unlike grain and many other cultures which ripeness can be defined visually the readiness for cleaning of beet should be determined by method of calculations. Usually this term comes late fall. By this time at sugar beet the forming of fruit comes to an end, but sugar continues to collect. This process continues to the first frosts. Therefore what will remove beet later, that it is more sweet. If in the forecast there are no frosts, fields remain untouched till November.
How does cleaning of beet happen?
Harvesting of beet in the manual way – process long, labor-consuming and ineffective. Therefore for performance of this task use Sk-2.1 combines, rotor mowers grinders with the sveklokopatelem-loader, combines for cleaning of beet by the principle of pulling wheel. The most progressive method – dividing. It is carried out by complex of agricultural machinery: botvorezhushchy BM-6 and harvest RKS-6. The first cuts off tops of vegetable, the second – collects root crops. The beet-harvesting equipment is carefully prepared as it is necessary to work with it round the clock. Install lighting equipment on machines, perform tuning of automatic driving, prepare the cutting and digging out mechanisms for work. Accuracy of control can be so high that the botvouborochny equipment can or cut off the verushka of root crops acting over soil or to leave on it part of tops of vegetable. RKS-6 covers 6 rows of landings. After its pass across the field beet remains not dug out and slightly powdered soil. But if by this machine not to adjust properly automatic driving, the most part of beet will be cut up and scattered on surface of ridges. The quality of cleaning depends also on soil moisture degree. If it raised, use KS-6, KS-3, KST-3 combines. After cleaning of tops of vegetable immediately start collecting root crops. It is found out that the gap between bevelling of leaves and excavation of beet is inadmissible as it after bevelling of tops of vegetable in root crop begins ovodneny its pulp that promotes improvement of lezhkost. Process this short therefore start excavation upon completion of operation of the botvorezhushchy equipment at once. The beet which is taken out from the earth arrives on conveyor belt and is unloaded in onboard machines. Then she is brought to points of sorting and storage.
