Granule conveying apparatus () comprising two screw conveyors () are provided. Each screw conveyor comprises flighting () mounted to a shaft () and a cylindrical volume () associated therewith. Each cylindrical volume () has a length defined by the associated shaft () and a diameter defined by the associated flighting (). One end of each of said two screw conveyors meet at an elbow or junction () where the direction of material conveyance is changed. The conveyor shafts () are supported independently from one another. The shaft of one of said two screw conveyors intersects the cylindrical volume associated with the other one of said two screw conveyors at the elbow. The close proximity of the two screw conveyors at the elbow region reduces power consumption.

A combine harvester () comprising a pair of axial separating rotors () each extending side-by-side within respective housings () in a longitudinal direction and serving to separate grain from straw. A feed beater () is provided which rotates on a transverse axis (X) and is located in front of the separating rotors to direct a crop flow rearwardly under the feed beater. Directional vanes () on the feed beater direct the crop flow away from a central zone of the beater and toward respective crop streams associated with the two rotors. Scraper apparatus () comprising stationary vanes () are provided above the beater. Crop material which back feeds over the top of the beater is scraped free of the beater and directed outwardly by the stationary vanes so that the scraped material is re-fed under the beater away from the central zone.
