Abstract
A machine for hulled grain employs a single horizontally disposed rotating hollow cylindrical body having its interior surface covered with a multiplicity of recesses designed to scoop up individual hulled grains at the bottom and to drop them out near the top. A partition separates the body into two compartments and two troughs containing screw conveyors extend the length of the cylindrical body and an arrangement of longitudinally extending plates are combined with the partition so that in the first compartment one of the conveying troughs brings the grains from a huller to the far end of the compartment while the other conveying trough catches the dropped grains and carries them to the far end of the second compartment and discharges them at that point to the bottom of the cylindrical body for re-sorting while the first conveying trough in the second compartment catches the re-sorted grains as they drop from above and carries them on to be discharged at the far end of the cylindrical body.
