DEVICE FOR SEPARATION OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A23N15/02 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to agriculture, in particular to a device for separating agricultural or crop products, interconnected by sprouts, such as stalks, fruit stems, stems, etc., such as cherries, small clusters of cherry tomatoes and others, which were collected and delivered in small bundles. Device comprises a fixed structure having two parallel horizontal side members, a plurality of cutting modules equipped with a common rotating shaft having a plurality of rotating cutting members in fixed positions along its length. Shafts are parallel to each other and are mounted above conveying means suitable to carry the products placed thereon towards said rotating cutting members. Device also includes a plurality of positioning ramps mounted in a position corresponding to a respective rotating cutting member, having a shape elongated in the direction of movement of said conveying means, considerably flattened and oriented vertically. Their elongate upper edge is oriented downward towards said conveying means with an inclination such that the height of said edges increases in the feeding direction of the conveying means, so that the clusters of products placed on said conveying means are carried towards said ramps. Respective upper edge determines the point of intersection of the respective cutting member with the stems of each cluster carried under the cutting member. Device also includes movement means designed to rotate an auxiliary shaft around its centre of rotation so that said upper edges and the tips of the respective ramps are rotated so as to cause the rotational lifting of said ramps by a predetermined angle.

EFFECT: use of the invention enables quality processing for the separation of agricultural products.
