Description: Many clods and stones are lifted when harvesting flower bulbs. Some of the unwanted material, if different in size from the bulbs, is separated during the handling processes in a harvester, but a considerable number of clods and stones similar in size to the bulbs remains with the mixture. The lifted mixture is transported to the packing house where the stones and clods must be separated manually during processing. This requires much labor and the mechanization of the process is desirable. Fluidized bed medium (FBM) was used to solve a similar problem for potatoes (Zaltzman et al. 1983). Mechanizing the process for flower bulbs is rather complicated because of their delicacy. A preliminary investigation was carried out to study contamination of flower bulbs in a sand fluidized bed (Zaltzman et al. 1984 unpubl. data). The study discovered that actual bulb infection from infested sand did not take place during treatment in the fluidized bed.
