A continuous cultivator for producing sprouted seed comprises a cylindrical housing 10 rotatable about a generally horizontal axis by means of a motor 18 and external drive wheels 12 and 13. A water supply tube 27 extends longitudinally of the housing 10 in the top thereof and serves to provide water sprays 28. Grain which has been pre-soaked in container 23 is fed into inlet 21 at one end of the housing 10. Ribs in the housing 10 urge the grain towards an outlet during which time sprouting occurs. Sprouted seed is discharged into receiver 31 and transported from the cultivator by conveyor 32. <IMAGE> |
