In an axial flow rotary separator for a combine, radially extending spike-tooth-like blades are arranged on a rotor body in "reverse" helical arrays, that is, such that helical flighting, similarly disposed, would tend to convey crop material upstream. The helix angles defined by the arrays approximate that of the mean spiral path of conveyance of a crop material mat portion through the separator housing. Propulsion of the crop material mat thus results from a plurality of spaced and staggered engagements of small contact area. The arrays are spaced so that the rotor elements present no extensive wall or front to the crop material thus reducing the tendency to "roping" and separator plugging in tough straw conditions. |
