The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of three different cleaning systems that were adopted for sugar beet loading, unloading and cleaning machines, on sugar beet external (physical properties) and internal quality properties depending on storage duration. The cleaning systems were the rollenrost cleaning system (Y-2), the star-shaped gear (rollenrost) + brush cleaning system (Y-3), the fingered (chained) cleaning system (Y-4) and the control (Y-1). External quality values measured were weight change, root breakage and surface injury. Internal quality values were polarization, invert sugar and extract sugar yield. Weight losses, invert sugar increases, polarization and extract sugar yield values decreased depending on silo storage times.
