SEPARATING CHAMBER WITH PRESSURIZED SUPPLY INLET CAUSING COLLISIONS BETWEEN SUPPLIED RAW GRASS SEED AND DEHULLED SEED OR SEED HULLS OR HUSKS AND METHOD OF SEPARATING GRASS SEEDS

摘要

An apparatus for dehulling grass seed utilizing a vibrated housing having an elongated chamber. The interior of the chamber is accessible through openings or ports that provide a plurality of entries and exits for the processing of grass seed. Grass seed is dehulled by a housing mounted pneumatic accelerator that removes the hulls from the seeds. Hulls and seeds are then directed into the interior of the chamber wherein separation of seeds from hulls and hulls containing seeds occurs. Seeds are discharged from the chamber and the hulls containing seeds are returned to the pneumatic accelerator for repeating the dehulling process.
