Original Abstract Submitted
A cleaning arrangement for separating a billet material from an extraneous plant matter in a sugarcane harvester includes a cleaning chamber defining an inlet for the billet material and the extraneous plant matter, a first outlet for the extraneous plant matter, and a second outlet defined in a basket for the billet material. A fan is positioned within the cleaning chamber and configured to generate an airflow to direct the extraneous plant matter toward the first outlet. A supplemental air attachment may positioned to promote the extraction of extraneous plant matter. A billet deflector may be located between the inlet and the basket and configured to direct the billet material toward the basket.
