No-chain Cane Delivery
نویسنده
چکیده
A cane harvesting system which eliminates the use of chain slings has been developed on Illovo's mill-cum-planter estate. A semi-mechanised "split harvesting system" has been adopted. Conventional type trailers are used for infield haulage which off-load loose cane into windrows on the loading banks. Grabloaders then transload the cane from the windrow into "Hilo" cane lorries for transportation to the Tllovo mill. Reductions in staff on the loading banks have been achieved and the running costs of the grabloaders are found to be similar to those of the conventinonal Mobamech cranes which are operated by Illovo on the growers loading banks.

In South Africa, cane is delivered to the mill uniformly over the milling season and across all supply areas. This delivery schedule does not exploit the cane quality patterns, represented by the recoverable value (RV) of sugar, which show distinct regional trends, primarily due to climate differences and the resulting differences in agronomic practices. This study, which focused on the Sezel...
