Abstract

The rotor of an axial flow rotary combine separator includes contiguous upstream threshing and downstream separating portions in each of which circumferentially spaced axially extending processing bars (threshing and separating respectively) are mounted. Between adjacent processing bars are mounted axially extending mover bars whose configuration differs substantially from that of the processing bars and whose primary function is to maintain uniform axial indexing of crop material through the separator as the rotor rotates and the material is processed.
