DEFINITION

Classification: 460/79

SEPARATOR:

(under the class definition) Subject matter which removes the grain from the straw and chaff after it is threshed.

(1) Note. The device usually includes one or more of the following; a revolving beater, deflector, straw rack, and a grain conveyor. The aggressive motion of straw rack separates threshed grain from the straw; the grain falls through openings in the bottom of the rack to the grain pan or the grain conveyor. The revolving beater strips the straw from the rear of the cylinder and distributes it to the straw rack. Deflectors above the rack regulate the movement of the straw and deflect grain kernels.
