<p>The invention relates to an apparatus for threshing legumes, comprising a frame which is movable over a ground surface, in which frame a drum which is rotatable about its at least substantially horizontally oriented axis of rotation is mounted, the drum surface of which is provided with one or more openings, wherein a main threshing element is disposed within the drum, which main threshing element is rotatable about its longitudinal axis extending at least substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum, and wherein at least one auxiliary threshing element is disposed within the drum, which auxiliary threshing element is rotatable about its longitudinal axis extending at least substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum. <??>The object of the invention is to provide a threshing apparatus which is of simpler construction and in which the flow of the threshing mixture through the threshing drum can be controlled in a simple manner, without all kinds of additional, complex and cost-increasing means being required. To that end, additional conveying means are disposed within the drum for conveying the legumes to be threshed through the drum. As a result of the use of additional conveying means, the flow of the threshing mixture is now separated from the main threshing element, for which threshing element a simpler construction not comprising any specific adjustable or fixed threshing blades may now be used. <IMAGE></p> |
