Abstract
An extractor for use with a sugarcane harvester comprises a fan and a hood. The fan is configured to rotate about a fan axis for inducing a cleaning flow of air to separate crop residue from sugarcane billets. The hood is positioned to receive in an interior region of the hood the cleaning flow of air with entrained crop residue from the fan and redirect the cleaning flow of air with entrained crop residue relative to the fan axis to an outlet of the hood to exit from the interior region.
