This 234 sugar beet cleaner from CTM Harpley Engineering has been fitted with a wider 1.4m pick-off table to enable operators to perform more efficient crop cleaning for a better sample. Designed to process up to 1t of crop a minute, the 234 features optional speed control for the picking elevator, allowing operators to adjust the machine to varying crop throughputs. Power is from a Deutz diesel engine and hydraulic motor, driving a delivery and picking conveyor before a single discharge elevator. The discharge elevator can be hydraulically raised to 4m for high filling applications or lowered to ground level for road transport.
