Abstract

A combine harvester () comprises a sensing device () to detect or estimate a volume of material other than grain (MOG) flowing through crop processing apparatus. The sensing device () is in communication with a controller () and is arranged forward of, and below, a front edge (') of a return pan () which serves to catch crop material falling from overhead separating apparatus (). The sensing device () generates one or more light beams () which are directed across a path of a crop mat () as the mat falls under gravity from the front edge (′). The controller () is configured to generate one of a fan speed setting and a sieve opening setting in dependence upon detection signals that are generated by the sensing device ().
