All-in-One machines
The Cross Washer and De-stoner range of beet processing machinery uses a combination of patented cleaning elements to ensure that you can deliver a quality clean and stone-free sample of beet for any application. The Cross Beet De-stoner and Washer range uses a unique water powered cyclone washing and cleaning system in combination with a tumbler cleaning cylinder to achieve consistent high quality beet for use in sugar processing, for the fermentation process used in biomass units and for feeding to livestock. Each unit can be fitted with an optional hydraulic drive chopper unit at the end of the unloading conveyor. This attachment can be easily engaged, depending on changing farming needs. All of the Cross Beet De-stoner and Washer machines have been developed in tough Irish conditions to remove stones of all shapes with the minimum use of water per tonne of beet washed and de-stoned. The range of Cross Washers & De-stoners can contain a combination of any of the processes below. Ranging from a 4 process machine to a single process machine, Cross Agricultural Engineering will have a machine that suits your needs.

All models have an optional chopper feature. Models include:
Transportable Beet Washers, De-Stoners & Choppers
The Cross Beet Washers and De-Stoners use a combination of patented cleaning and chopping elements to ensure that you can deliver a quality clean sample of beet for any application. These machines are sure to provide a clean sample at a steady output rate. They can be used for the dirtiest of beet crops to ensure clean and safe cattle feed. All models have an optional chopper feature.
All Beet Washers and De-Stoners are either tractor drawn or HGV pulled. These machines are powered via tractor, an optional onboard engine or an electric motor. There are numbers of optional extras available on these machines such as remote control. Models include:
Beet De-Stoners
In some applications where the soil is sandy but contains a lot of stones, a Beet de-Stoner can suffice as the only beet processing needed. This is due to the beet being very clean after harvesting and containing only a small percentage of soil. In this case the operator will de-stone and partly wash. All models have an optional chopper feature. Models include:
Stationary Beet Washers
This range of Beet Washers are built on a stationary Chassis. This gives the Biogas plant, sugar factory or dairy farm the ability to add a beet washer into their feed production line. With an optional electric power pack, this machine can be operated with the flick of a switch and can be left set up full time to cut down on set up time. All stationary washers have the option of being fitted onto an already owned trailer or can be supplied with a high speed trailer for moving from farm to farm. All models have an optional chopper feature. Models include:
Beet Choppers
Cross Agricultural Engineering manufactures a range of stationary Beet choppers for the biogas, sugar and farming industry. The beet choppers range in capacity from 30 tonnes per hour to 150 tonnes per hour. All Cross Beet Choppers are fitted with hydraulic stone release and a variable chop size door. All choppers are available in either PTO drive or 3 phase electric hydraulic drive. Designed in Ireland this chopper is able to withstand the toughest of beet conditions and will always provide an accurate chop to suit the operator’s needs
