Conveying and Separating Device for Root Crop and a Method for Operating the Device
First Claim
1. A conveying and separating device for root crop, the device comprising:
- a separating stretch comprising at least two rotatingly driven separating rollers, wherein the separating stretch receives a harvested material comprising root crop and admixed parts and wherein the at least two separating rollers transport on a topside of the separating stretch primarily the root crop while the admixed parts are removed in a screening phase by means of a screening gap between the at least two separating rollers;
wherein, by a direct forced cleaning action, the at least two separating rollers are kept free at least of admixed parts that can adhere to the at least two separating rollers.

46. A method for separating root crop from a harvested mixture, the method comprising the steps of:
-
feeding the mixture onto a separating stretch comprised of at least two rotatingly driven separating rollers; screening the harvested mixture by removing admixed parts from the root crop in a screening phase through a screening gap between the at least two separating rollers and conveying the root crop on the topside of the at least two separating rollers; cleaning directly by a forced cleaning action the at least two separating rollers at least during the screening phase. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50)
