Abstract
A self-propelled forager can accumulate dust, dirt or crop material particles in its maintenance and/or engine compartment. To avoid such accumulations, suction devices are provided in the engine and/or maintenance compartment which extract dust, dirt or crop material particles. The suction is provided by the post-accelerator which conveys the chopped crop.
Claims9
A self-propelled forager having a chassis, an engine compartment and a second compartment on the chassis, an engine in the engine compartment and having a radiator, a chopper unit on the chassis, a conveying channel mounted behind the chopper unit, a post-accelerator in the conveying channel, a rotating screening device in the second compartment and located in front of the radiator, a suction housing associated with the rotating screening device for removing dust particles therefrom, and means at the bottom of at least one of the compartments for extracting dust particles which settle in the compartment.
