Abstract
A threshing plate installable in a housing of a tailings conveyor of an agricultural combine for causing threshing of a flow of tailings propelled through the housing by rotation of an impeller therein. The threshing plate can include a threshing surface having a wide variety of surface textures or characteristics for deflecting tailings propelled thereagainst back into the tailings flow in a turbulent manner so as to cause collision between the tailings resulting in the threshing action. The threshing plate can optionally be removable and reversible so as to provide different threshing characteristics.
