Abstract
A system for removing trash from a flow of harvested crop within an agricultural harvester may include a chopper assembly and a cleaning assembly downstream of the chopper assembly relative to the flow of harvested crop. An upstream side of the cleaning assembly may be positioned closer to the chopper assembly than a downstream side of the cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly may include a screen and a fan, with the fan positioned at least partially between the upstream and downstream sides of the cleaning assembly. The fan may generate a flow of air in a first direction such that the flow of air passes through the upstream side before the downstream side of the cleaning assembly. Additionally, the screen may be movable along a travel path relative to the fan such that a portion of the screen is movable between the upstream and downstream sides of the cleaning assembly.
