9.2 AXIAL- FLOW PADDY THRESHER

 

Features:

It consists of a spike tooth threshing cylinder, concave, cylinder casing, cleaning system and feeding chute. In axial flow concept, the crop is fed from one end and the straw is thrown out from the other end after complete threshing of crop. During threshing, the crop rotates three and half times around the cylinder and all the grains get detached. The threshing cylinder is of peg type. The casing of the thresher has 7 louvers for moving the crop axially. Two aspirator blowers and two sieves are provided for cleaning.

9.3 GROUNDNUT THRESHER

 

Features:

 

The thresher is an axial flow type and it consists of feed hopper, spike-tooth cylinder, concave, oscillating sieves and blower. The pegs are arranged in 10 rows on the cylinder. The cylinder is enclosed with the concave made of wire mesh with sieve opening of 80 x 25 mm size. Below this cylinder and concave assembly two oscillating sieves are fitted to separate the pods from leaves, soil and dust particles. The blower fitted between the two sieves helps to blowout the leaves. The thresher is also suitable for freshly harvested crop with green vines.

9.4 MAIZE DE-HUSKER/SHELLER

 

Features:

 

Maize dehusker cum sheller are of two types namely, spike tooth type and axial type. In the spike tooth type sheller, pegs are staggered at varying heights for better shelling efficiency. The spikes are placed in 6 rows with 6 pikes in each row. The sieves have 1.25 cm diameter opening to separate the shelled maize from husk. In axial flow type threshers, pegs are provided on the cylinder and louvers were provided on the upper periphery of the drum to convey the crop to the outlet.
