Abstract
A conveying system for a harvesting machine includes a sprocket with multiple sprocket teeth and a pair of adjacent belts that engage the sprocket teeth and rotate around the sprocket to transport crop material. Positioned between the adjacent belts is a debris clearing device that effectively prevents crop material from entering between the belts and the sprocket teeth. This mitigates the risk of blockages and damage to the system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation of the conveying system in the harvesting machine.
