Abstract Modular articulated equipment for the destruction of cotton crop residues The invention of a peculiar modality of modular articulated equipment for the destruction of cotton crop remains, aiming at the effective removal and cutting of these crop residues, as well as the flexibility and transportability of both. one field to another, as in roads. Does the invention reveal modules? rear center (1) and side (2)? constituted by frontal plant pullout mechanisms (3), operatively and functionally associated through transmission mechanisms (4), to a rear roller with radially disposed knives (5) mounted on a supporting chassis (6)； the modules (1 and 2) are installed in a rear center tower (7) of a front header (8), with hydraulically driven wheels (9), said transposition from work to transport position and vice versa ； the rear center module (1) is fixed relative to said tower (7) of the header (8), maintaining the same relative position of both work and transport； and, the side modules (2) are hinged (11) on said tower (7) of the header (8) and swiveled horizontally forward to the transport position and back to the working position by means of hydraulic actuators ( 12) disposed between the side modules (2) and said header (8).resumo equipamento modular articulado para destruição dos restos da cultura do algodão a invenção de peculiar modalidade de equipamento modular articulado para destruição dos restos da cultura do algodão, objetivando o efetivo arrancamento e corte destes restos culturais, bem como flexibilidade e possibilidade de transporte, tanto de um talhão para outro, como em estradas. o invento revela módulos ? centro posterior (1) e laterais (2) ? constituídos por mecanismos frontais de arrancamento de plantas (3), associados operacional e funcionalmente através de mecanismos de transmissão (4), a um rolo posterior com navalhas dispostas radialmente (5) instalados em chassi portante (6)； os módulos (1 e 2) serem instalados numa torre centro posterior (7
