Abstract
A turning drum of self-propelling harvester thresher is arranged after a threshing mechanism and has a closed casing with a plurality of rows of ribs extending parallel to a rotary axis of the drum. The ribs are inclined by substantially 20.degree.-40.degree. relative to a traveling direction of the harvester thresher. Thereby, the grains which strike against the inclined ribs are deviated, and as a result their striking energy is reduced and the grain breakage is prevented.
