A review of opportunities to improve the design and performance of sugarcane harvesters
Davis, RJ; Whiteing, C; Norris, CP (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 ... -
Adoption of practices to mitigate harvest losses : Final report 2019/951
Patane, P; Norris, CP; Nothard, B; Pfumayaramba, T; Venables, C (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Patane (et al. 2019) determined that Harvesting Best Practice (HBP) is predicated by two essential objectives. 1. Defining the critical point where harvesting losses can be minimised and delivered yields improved to ... -
Chop-throw; a potential driver for the next generation of pneumatic cleaning systems : SRDC Final report BS52S
Norris, CP (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 ... -
Commercialisation of lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for sugarcane harvesters : Final report BSS251
Davis, RJ; Norris, CP (2002)The Australian sugar industry is facing the challenge of increasing extraneous matter (EM), depression of ccs, sugar quality issues, and increasing harvesting and transport costs per tonne of final product. In addition, ... -
Developing a framework for advancing road transportation of sugarcane : SRDC final report SD98013
Robotham, BG; Norris, CP (BSES, 1998)An objective of this project was to initiate a research program for the road transportation of sugarcane. Future research projects will be undertaken with the knowledge and cooperation of key parties and therefore have ... -
Development of an Intelligent Tool to allow real-time evaluation of harvesting practices as part of a framework for improved harvester payment systems : final report 2016/951
Norris, CP (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2019)The project has resulted in the development of a cane loss indicator which can be a valuable tool to assist the harvester operator to optimise harvester performance as crop conditions change throughout the day. The system ... -
Facilitation of best practice to reduce extraneous matter and cane loss : SRDC Final report BSS189
Whiteing, C; Norris, CP (2002)Green cane harvesting and trash blanketing are important agronomic production techniques in the northern sugar producing areas. Cane losses are accepted to be higher with green cane harvesting and extraneous matter levels ... -
Harvest and transport considerations for whole-crop harvesting in the condong mill area
Norris, CP; Robotham, BG; Tudroszen, NJ (2013) -
Impact of chopper harvesting on the translation of field CCS to factory realised CCS : SRDC final report SD01007
Davis, RJ; Norris, CP (BSES, 2001)This project was designed to investigate the impact of chopper harvesting on CCS at the mill relative to measured CCS levels of cane in the field, as part of the reason behind declining CCS. Background for the project ... -
Improved feeding of green cane by harvesters : SRDC Final report BS1655
Davis, RJ; Norris, CP (2000) -
Improving the performance of chopper systems in cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS188S
Norris, CP; Davis, RJ; Hockings, PR (1999) -
Lightweight elevator and advanced secondary cleaning system for cane harvesters : SRDC Final report BS210S
Norris, CP (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 ... -
Understanding interactions between basecutters and other forward-feed components with the cane stalk : Final report 2016/952
Norris, CP; Plaza, F (Sugar Research Australia Limited, 2020)Increasing harvesting speed has been necessary to facilitate the large increases in productivity required by the harvesting fleet to manage sugarcane-industry cost pressures. Whilst the power and processing throughput of ... -
Upgrading load and speed limits for cane transport vehicles : SRDC final project report SD01004
Robotham, BG; Norris, CP; Geddes, RG (BSES, 2001)The primary objective of this project was to reduce costs associated with the haulout of cane by facilitating the continued development of haulout equipment, appropriate to the needs of the industry. This was achieved by:
