Abstract
A grain processor comprises a conveyor, air-suction means, and air-blowing means. The conveyor has a surface defining a conveying course on which grains are disposed, and the surface has holes smaller than the grains. The air above the surface is sucked downward through the holes by the air-suction means. The air-blowing means blows air upward through the holes at a predetermined position in the conveying course so as to apply blowing-up force onto the conveyed grains on the surface reaching the predetermined position.
