A harvester for infield collection of substantially whole cane comprising a drive unit, a removable billet thrower and chute and a feed and billeter module being a two row unit which may be inserted under the chassis and secured by pivot couplings to corresponding mounts. The harvester collects whole cane and throws billeted cane along with trash into an infield transporter which then transports this to a centralised trash separator. Single row modules align single row feed and billeting units may pivot independently of each other. Assemblies are arranged to float and follow the ground surface over which the harvester moves and to this end each of the assemblies is biased into floating contact with the ground by reason of one or more spring assemblies.

A sugar cane shred press roller and a presser including the same are provided, which belong to the technical field of sugar-making equipment. Several circumferential bosses are arranged in an axial direction of a cylindrical roller body of the sugar cane shred press roller; modified cylindrical helical gears with opposite modification coefficients are formed on both sides of each of the circumferential bosses; and an annular juice discharge groove is formed between adjacent circumferential bosses. A presser with the sugar cane shred press roller is provided, axes of several sugar cane shred press rollers are spatially parallel with each other, the circumferential bosses and the juice discharge grooves of the adjacent sugar cane shred press rollers fit with each other and have gaps left, and the modified cylindrical helical gears of the adjacent sugar cane shred press rollers are meshed with each other.

A technology for material separation is provided. The technology enables an output of a first material from a rotary lifter. The technology enables a direction of a fluid stream onto the first material in flight based on the output of the first material such that the first material is separated into at least a second material and a third material. The technology enables a conveyance of the second material away from the rotary lifter. The technology enables a removal of the third material via a vacuum port.

A system for infield collection of substantially whole cane and delivering that cane to a mill via a trash separator and a washer. A harvester collects whole cane and throws billeted cane along with trash into an infield transporter which then transports this to a centralised trash separator. The trash separator may service any number of infield transporters and may be located at a mill or centralised location. Billets are then fed to a washer. The washing liquid from downstream process may be used in the washer. This liquid enters the washer. Mud and dirt is removed from the billets in return liquid which then passes to a mud removal unit. This juice is returned to the downstream process along a line. Whole cane is being transported to a dedicated trash separator providing very little loss in terms of juice carrying cane. The billets are moved on to the mill.
