How potatoes are grown in Europe

Potato harvesters, allow mechanizing the process of planting potatoes, and the performance of these machines provides an excellent opportunity to carry out the process of planting potatoes in a short time, which is crucial when carrying out agricultural sowing.
Planting potatoes should ensure uniform seedlings and plant growth, facilitate the implementation of mechanized work and harvesting. It must meet the following requirements: straight rows, uniform, small depth of planting, the same distance between rows, the exact distance between the tubers in a row.
Potato harvesters are used to automate the process of harvesting potatoes, and allow harvesting of this root crop with minimal losses both in the amount of the harvested crop and in the quality of potato harvesting.
Considering that the areas allotted for planting potatoes are not much inferior to the wheat fields, the harvest can be effectively and quickly harvested only by using special equipment. This task copes well potato harvester.
It should be noted that potato harvesters are of two types: trailed and mounted. The first option has more impressive dimensions, and, accordingly, performance. Therefore, they are well suited for large farms. Both varieties work on the same principle. The main node is a device for digging tubers. They usually have an adjustable angle of inclination and depth of immersion.
This device removes a layer of soil, together with potatoes, and sends it to the sifting bunker. Moving along the conveyor belt, the tubers are cleared of soil and foliage.
After that, by means of the sorting mechanism, the remains of garbage are removed and the potatoes are adjusted to a certain size. Small tubers are eliminated. After that, the potatoes are served in the discharge bunker. In some models, for such a bunker, the Grimmme double-cage potato harvester is designed for Western production. The central office is located in the city of Damme. Agricultural machinery from this manufacturer is shipped to more than 60 countries.
The line of manufactured machines is huge, you can find mounted mini-combines and powerful trailed units. The design of the models is also different, single-row and two-row models are produced.
Grimme have a number of distinctive features that allow cars to stand out among their counterparts.
The rollers, which are responsible for the selection of tops, are located in front of the cleaning system, this allows you to protect the rubbing parts from dust and debris.
Screening elements are supplemented with belts that allow you to work without damaging the final product. Machines are equipped with two screening conveyors. The area of ​​the first - 5.5 square meters, the second - 1.5. This approach allows you to get the presentation of the potato after cleaning.
Work of all knots is based on a belt drive. The equipment is controlled from the tractor cabin using sensors. The softness of the work is achieved by the hydraulic system. 4000 kilogram of root crops are placed in the storage bin, unloading takes 20 seconds.
Combines Grimme belong to the category of reliable technology and have proven themselves in various climatic conditions.
