Robust and aggressive designed chopper systems with more blades have been the answer to faster and more productive cane harvesters as contractors and operators look to save time and money to get the harvesting done and dusted as quickly and efficiently as possible. This comes at a cost to the grower and miller as a portion of the crop they get paid for is crushed, damaged and sucked out the extractor in a process we have come to accept in the desire for more bin weights, more tonnes per hour and savings in labour costs.
Mackay based engineering firm, EHS Manufacturing, are known for their innovation and ability in the design and adaption of harvesting equipment to keep the Australian Sugar Industry as world leaders in harvesting technology and best practice. Their latest product development is the most significant and successful change in cane harvester chopper design since rotary differential chop was introduced. This is a welcome improvement as the industry becomes increasingly aware of the sugar losses of current harvesting practices.
The EHS MaxiChop with a patented wedge blade clamp can now provide more blade security and clamping force than ever before allowing a huge 106mm of free ‘clamp to clamp’ gap in the cut position. The free flow open throat design gives the contractor/harvester operator the best of both worlds allowing the increase in productivity and billet quality whilst minimising the juicing/squeezing of the billet ends in the chopping process. This provides maximum profitability for the contractor, grower and miller with the purpose in mind of sugar recovery by all parties involved in the process.
