A review of opportunities to improve the design and performance of sugarcane harvesters
(2010)This review is a response to the recognition by the SRDC that the Australian sugarcane industry needs an informed basis from which to make decisions as to appropriate investments in harvesting sector research. There is a ... -
Chop-throw; a potential driver for the next generation of pneumatic cleaning systems : SRDC Final report BS52S
(2000)The objective of this project was to determine if the chop-throw concept offered potential for high efficiency pneumatic cleaning systems, by virtue of the inherently high efflux velocities and billet presentation from the ... -
Development of an improved method of harvester performance testing - in association with the jet-clean system project : Final report NCA001
(2001)In seeking to evaluate the performance of some advanced cleaning system concepts such as the NCEA Jet Clean System (NCA 006) and the NCEA Clean Flow Fan the NCEA became aware of the lack of objective automated harvester ... -
Improvements in base cutter design and cane feeding : Final report NCE004
(SRDC, 2002)This project followed on from Project US2 (Cutting of sugarcane), which showed that conventional basecutters and knockdown angles contributed to cane damage and loss by way of disk contact, multiple layered cuts and ... -
Information sheet : Cleaning a harvester before transport
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2022)The regulation around the movement of sugarcane machinery has changed with the implementation of the Biosecurity Act 2014 and Biosecurity Regulation 2016. In order to move machinery across sugarcane biosecurity ... -
Lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS210S
(2001)The goal of this project was the development of a prototype lightweight harvester elevator and integrated secondary cleaning system. The goal was commercially driven and proposed transfer and adaptation of high-speed ... -
Regional evaluation of high density planting : SRDC Final report BSS241
(2003)This project was successful in comparing two farming systems: conventional 1.52-m single rows and the High Density Planting system (HDP), which consists of four rows on a 2.1-m wide bed using controlled-traffic and ... -
Sensors for improved harvesting feedback: evaluation of suitability : Final report 2016/954
(Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2017)A feasibility study was conducted to investigate the value and application of sensors in the harvesting environment for improved feedback for quality and loss control. A desktop study, this project (a) investigated the ... -
The effect of harvester settings on cane loss and subsequent ratoon cane yield
(1992)This replicated trial at Tully showed that harvester settings (basecutter height, forward speed, and direction of travel in relation to crop lodging) can significantly influence the amount of cane left in the paddock after ...
