<p>A forage harvester crop processor for handling crop material of the type including maize kernels is provided. Feed rolls 11, 12, 13, 14 are mounted for receiving crop material to be processed and for feeding it to a rotating cutting mechanism 17. The cutting mechanism 17 cuts the crop material into small particles and propels it rearwardly to a pair of cooperating upper and lower compressor rolls 35, 36 for cracking the maize kernels in the crop material. The material is then conveyed via the compressor rolls 35, 36 to a blower 18 mounted rearwardly of the compressor rolls 35, 36 and aligned to receive the crop as it is propelled from the rolls 35, 36. Springs 44, 45, 46, 47 are provided for urging the lower compressor roll 36 toward the upper compressor roll 35 to form a bite for operatively engaging the crop material. The lower compressor roll assembly is arranged to be pivotally movable downwardly and away from the upper compressor roll 35 to facilitate easy access to various processor elements.</p> |
