Axleless drum potato harvester
The shaftless drum potato harvester eliminates the central drive shaft and directly drives the drum to rotate. Combined with soil-cutting blades and separating blades, it solves the problems of limited cutting angle and foreign object adhesion in traditional drum harvesters, thus improving operating efficiency and separation effect.

AI Technical Summary
Existing drum-type potato harvesters suffer from limited cutting angles, susceptibility to foreign object adhesion and clogging due to their central drive shaft structure, resulting in low operating efficiency and poor separation performance in sticky soils.
It adopts a shaftless design, directly driving the drum rotation, eliminating the central drive shaft, and using a combination of soil-cutting blades and separating blades to separate soil from potatoes. The roller assembly and drive assembly ensure stable drum rotation.
The increased cutting angle prevents foreign objects from adhering and clogging, improves work efficiency, reduces mechanical damage to potatoes, and adapts to different soil conditions.
