Abstract
A sugarcane biomass chopper that can be attached to a harvester. The sugarcane chopper has a main support configured for attachment to arms of a harvester's top cutter or topper. The sugarcane chopper further includes a leaf deflector attached to said main support. The shredder is connected to said leaf deflector on one side and a pneumatic impulse resource on a second side. The pneumatic impulse resource is further connected to a flow concentrator; and a discharge pipe connected to said flow concentrator. The chopper is configured so that biomass is directed by the leaf deflector to the pneumatic impulse resource and into the shredder, which in turn discharges the shredded biomass through the flow concentrator and the discharge.
