The flax-laying section
The left-hand flax-laying section [A] can move horizontally, depending on the desired distance between the deposited swaths. The right-hand flax-laying section [B] has a fixed position on the machine.
The distance between the lower belts (1) determines the distance between the swaths. The drive wheel (6) drives the conveyor belt of each pick-up, as well as both flax-laying belts (2). The non-driven wheel underneath, just like the drive wheel, is equipped with scrapers.
The flax is guided towards the ground between the guide plate (4) and the profiles (5). In the event of a blockage, the distance between the guide plate and the non-driven wheels can be increased.
