Two-sided cleaning arrangements for an endless belt for an agricultural header are disclosed. An endless belt with a two-sided cleaning arrangement may include a crop carrying surface and first and second cleaning features disposed in first and second edge regions, respectively, of the endless belt. The first and second cleaning features may extend above or be recessed below the crop-carrying surface.

An industrial hemp trimming apparatus and system which features rotating drums configured to actuate angularly to facilitate the fine tuning of precise flower trim setting is described. At least one motor disposed in communication with a control station and drive shaft via at least one drive chain facilitates rotation of the drum(s) against a cutting surface. The control station, managed by an Arduino, enables manipulation of spin speed, spin duration, and articulation of the drums to fine-tune the trimming of the hemp flower in accordance with strain-specific characteristics. Each drum is equipped with staggered, evenly spaced cutouts configured to line up with similarly arranged cutouts of the stationary cutting surface, by which flower is trimmed as the drum(s) rotate.

A conveyor belt has one or more conveyor belt segments made of an elastomeric material layer and a reinforcement layer of steel ropes disposed in the elastomeric material layer and oriented in a longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt segment. The conveyor belt segments each have a first segment end provided with a first transverse lock bar and a second segment end provided with a second transverse lock bar, wherein ends of the steel ropes are locked frictionally or with form fit in the first and second transverse lock bars, respectively. One or more detachable closure members couple the first and second transverse lock bars of a single one or of adjacently positioned ones of the conveyor belt segments to each other in a rigid correlation relative to each other.

Disclosed is a combine harvester (1) comprising, a crop material conveyor (2) arranged to convey harvested crop material (3) in a conveying direction (CD) towards a threshing apparatus (4). The threshing apparatus (4) comprising a thresher plate (5) and a rotating thresher (6) arranged to rotate around a thresher rotation axis (7) 5 extending in a transverse direction in relation to the conveying direction (CD). The thresher plate (5) partly encircles the rotating thresher (6) such that the harvested crop material (3) is beat against the thresher plate (5) by the rotating thresher (6). An apex (8) of the crop material conveyor is arranged above the thresher rotation axis (7), so that the harvested crop material (3) is deposited to the threshing apparatus (4) from 10 above the thresher rotation axis (7).

A draper for an agricultural machine is disclosed. The draper includes a middle segment and two side segments, each with a frame, a flexible cutter bar, that is arranged or positioned on support arms pivotably articulated to the frame, as well as one or more continuously circulating conveyor devices arranged or positioned behind the cutter bar. The one or more conveyor device comprises a first guide roller that is arranged or positioned on the middle segment, and a second guide roller that is arranged or positioned at the end on the particular side segment around which the endless conveyor belt circulates. The two side segments are each pivotably connected to the middle segment by a frame joint about a pivot axis running substantially horizontally. The particular side segment has a belt guiding unit with a guide roller.
