What it is for
Right: the sorting rollers separate the stones and clods from the fine soil.
What sets it apart:
it sorts the soil instead of picking everything up.
Computer-generated image.
The soil passes over a separating element.
Depending on the model, it is a grid, rollers or a drum.
The stones and clods are set aside, the fine soil carries on.
It is the equipment for crops that fear stones and clods:
market gardening, potatoes.
It works in the field before planting, or when the harvest is taken in.
Separating is not removing. The stones and clods set aside stay in the field or in a trailer, to be taken up.
Where they go is decided before the first pass.
On which machine?
It works towed behind a farm tractor, not on an excavator.

The working width and the weight of the separator: we calculate them with you for your machine.
What is needed on the hydraulic side
The power take-off speed and the spool valves: we calculate them with you for your machine.
Your study sets the exact value for your machine.

Describe the crop, the soil and the size of the stones and clods.
Specify the tractor that will pull the machine and what becomes of the rejects.
- Your tractor Its power, in hp.
- The power take-off Its speed: 540 or 1000 rpm.
- The hitch The three-point linkage category.
- The hydraulics The spool valves available.

What determines the choice
-
01 — The crop and its sensitivity Not all crops fear stones and clods in the same way.
What the crop tolerates sets the level of sorting required. -
02 — The soil A sticky or clayey soil does not separate like a light one.
The ground decides, not the catalogue. -
03 — The separation method Grid, rollers or drum, depending on the model:
each sorts in its own way and wears in its own way. -
04 — The tractor and the organisation of the job Who pulls the machine, and how the rejects are taken up:
the two are settled together.
What is checked before ordering
-
The size of the stones and clods to be handled Described, not estimated:
it is the point that sets the separation method. -
The state of the soil on the day of the pass Wet, dry, frozen:
the separation is not the same, and the window is judged on the spot. -
What becomes of the rejects Stones and clods set aside:
to leave, to take up, to cart away. -
The separating elements Grids, rollers, drum:
their wear and replacement are checked before choosing.
