  • Grain feeding and conveying assembly for a combine
    Patent number: 11140828
    Abstract: A grain processing assembly for a combine that comprises a feeder assembly, a threshing assembly having a rotor disposed within a housing, a hood. The feeder assembly comprises a lower conveyor and an upper conveyor. The position of the lower conveyor and the upper conveyor is such that upper conveyor assists the lower conveyor in directing crop material being transported on the lower conveyor towards a discharge end of the lower conveyor. The hood engages a belt of the second upper conveyor.

  • Seed counting device
    Patent number: 8218710
    Abstract: A seed counting device where accuracy is maintained at higher counting rates. The seed counting device has a hopper in communication with a tray. An activator is connected to the tray to vibrate the tray. Connected to one end of the tray is a separator having sensors. Below the tray and in partial alignment with the separator is a projecting device. The projecting device projects seeds that fall from the tray past the sensors and into a seed chamber.

  • Method and means of measuring the flow rate of particulate matter
    Patent number: 8015884
    Abstract: A flow meter used in relation to a hopper mounted to a frame and a transfer tube connected to an in communication with the hopper. Both the hopper and the transfer tube have gates that are connected to actuators for selectively opening and closing the gates. A sensor is mounted to the frame adjacent the transfer tube. Mounted below and in communication with the transfer tube is the flow meter. The flow meter has a curved chute and a load beam that measure the inertial force of material acting upon the curved chute over time.
