Abstract

EACH year many man-hours are spent cutting samples
of agricultural crops for chemical analyses
and quality determinations. There are many ways to
do this cutting, but they all consume considerable time
both in the cutting and the cleaning of the apparatus.
The machine described here was developed to cut
sugar beet roots, potato tubers, and similar crops into
either cubes or French fry shapes, with a minimum
amount of time and to be as nearly self-cleaning as
possible. This machine, as described, can he built for
approximately $285.00 including all materials and
labor
