Feed Rollers

The feed rollers carry the cane from the basecutter to the chopper. The speed that the cane passes through the harvester in comparison with the constant speed of the chopper drums determines billet length.

Cleaning also occurs through gaps, between feed rollers and choppers, as the cane passes through the rollers. These gaps allow dirt and rocks to fall from the cane before chopping.
