Abstract

An axial separator for a combine harvester has a separating rotor which is rotatably supported in a housing including, as viewed in the conveyance direction, a receiving region for crop material, a separating region, and a transfer region for crop material residue, a wall that limits the transfer region in sections and a guide element disposed in the transfer region. The guide element influences the flow of crop material residue conveyed from the transfer region to a further-handling unit and, is disposed on the housing such that its position is changeable in the circumferential direction.
