  • Discharge structure for an axial separator
    Patent number: 5112279
    Abstract: An axial separator for an agricultural combine. The axial separator comprises two side-by-side axial separator units. Each axial separator unit has a rotor that rotates in and is housed in a casing. The bottom rear of the axial separator is open and forms a discharge area into which straw falls. To move evenly distribute the straw along the width of the combine a wedge shaped deflector is positioned in the last quarter of the discharge area below and between the rotors.

  • Chaff spreading arrangement for a combine
    Patent number: 4614197
    Abstract: In a combine harvester, the chaff discharged from the cleaning shoe is funneled towards the downwardly directed inlet of a pneumatic conveyor and transferred, by the conveyor, to the inlet of a rear mounted straw chopper. In this way, the relatively light chaff material is mixed with heavier straw helping to spread the chaff more widely and uniformly. The upward intake or ingestion at the conveyor inlet aerodynamically screens out undesirably heavy material, allowing it to fall to the ground.
