Abstract
A peanut combine having an improved separator system employing a series of parallel shafts all rotating in the same direction, each carrying a plurality of disks and a blower to separate the chaff from the peanuts. The disk assembly is substantially horizontal. The disks are offset relative to the disks on adjacent shafts so that disks on the two shafts interdigitate. The action of the rotating disks and the blower on the material flowing over the disks provides a more efficient cleaning mechanism for the peanuts.
