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 ... -
Economic evaluation of sugarcane harvesting best practice (HBP) : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2019)Mechanical sugarcane harvesting is commonly undertaken at ground speeds that exceed the cleaning capacity of modern harvesters, which is likely to increase extraneous matter (EM) levels in the cane supply. To attempt to ... -
Harvester performance testing literature review; loss measurement in sugarcane harvesting : Final report CO02008
(BSES, 2002)In the process of development of a performance testing protocol for sugarcane harvesters, the need for an independent review of the literature pertaining to sugarcane loss measurement became apparent. This review was ... -
Investigating losses from green and burnt cane harvesting conditions : ASSCT peer-reviewed paper
(ASSCT, 2020)Despite much research into the impact of high harvester pour rates and fan speeds on harvested cane yields, there has been low adoption of HBP (harvesting best practice) across the industry. Full adoption across the ... -
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 ...
