Abstract
The present invention describes an intake zone (4a) for an axial separator (4) consisting of a rotor (6) that is configured as a cone in its front area, is tapered in the direction of the flow of materials and has a sleeve (12, 13, 16) or an intake zone for a similar axial flow threshing and separating device having at least one similar separating rotor (6) arranged downstream from a single or multi-cylinder threshing machine with a feed cylinder (3) connected thereto. The upper sleeve (12) of the intake zone (4a) has a semi-circular cross-section at the beginning of the rotor intake continuously running as far as the end of the intake zone (20) into an eccentric cross-section corresponding to the cross-section of the remaining upper sleeve. The spiral-shaped base bodies (10) of the cylindrical rotor intake (5) are staggered in relation to each other and are provided with interchangeable spiral-shaped wearing parts, the height of which decreases in the direction of the end of the intake zone (20) in such a way that a conical enveloping surface arises.
