The first belt and paddles bring up the product, removing excess soil, and transport it to the second
belt.
The two belts are independent of each other and have adjustable speeds through hydraulic
regulators positioned near the operators. (Fig. 3). Usually the first belt has a speed greater than
30% with respect to that of the second.

All this depends on the type of soil and the maturity of the product.
To the side of the second belt there are two corridors which transport the product to the rear of the
machine.
With potato equipment:
The excess soil and impurities are discharged to the ground at the end of the second belt, while the
potatoes are manually placed in the side corridors and transported backwards and unloaded into
boxes (max. 50 kg), or crates (max 0.6 m3), depending on the configuration of the machine.
With onion equipment:
The excess soil and impurities are selected by the operators on board and the onions continue in
the central part of the belt until they are unloaded into crates (max. 50kg) or crates (max. 0.6 m3)
depending on the layout.
Unloading filled containers:
Once the containers (boxes or boxes) are full, it is necessary to proceed in this manner:
•
Stop the progress of the tractor
•
Leave the engine running, and the power take-off engaged
•
Stop advancement of the belts by acting on the lever of the electrical panel.
•
Always avoid a situation where the personnel assigned to use the machine are at the back of
the machine. A minimum distance greater than 3 meters must be maintained from the range
of action of the machine.
Crates and sacks
•
Manually unload the full crates and reposition them empty:
Crates:
•
The tractor driver, acting on the lever of the electric panel activates the forklift lowering
cylinders.
•
Advance with the tractor for approximately 2 meters, always keeping personnel at a safe
distance.
•
Act from the opposite wall with the same lever of the electrical panel to lift the forklift.
