Tur′nip-pulp′er.


Agriculture.) A machine [2662] for pulping turnips, etc., to be used as food for cattle.

Hornsby's (Fig. 6805) has a rotary disk containing a number of cutters and corresponding apertures through which the pulp falls. The roots are placed in a hopper, and fed by their own weight to the cutters, and the disk has parallel projections at right angles to its face, which prevent the pulp from escaping except through the apertures arranged for that purpose, and from which it falls into the trough.

Hornsby's turnip-pulper.
