A wire-loop cylinder is best suited to

  • A.Delicate crops needing gentle handling
  • B.Very tough cereal straw
  • C.Maize cobs
  • D.Groundnut pods

Answer: A

Correct answer: Delicate crops needing gentle handling

A wire-loop cylinder carries flexible loops instead of rigid bars or teeth, so it works the crop gently and delivers a much softer blow than either alternative. It is used for pulses, oilseeds and seed crops where a cracked or bruised grain is a serious loss.

The price is capacity and thoroughness: tough cereal straw, maize cobs and groundnut pods all need far more energetic treatment than a wire loop can supply, and each has its own machine or cylinder type.
