DISK GRAIN CRIMPER Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A23N17/00 B02C7/18 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: disk crimper has driving disk 1 and driven disk 2 fastened at regulated spacing; loading channel 8 and unloading channel 13, the said driving disk having flat horizontal working surface 5 and being mounted at the vertical transmission shaft. The driven disk is freely rotated and has the form of conoid, with its lesser base directed towards centre of the driving disk. Cone generatrix is gapped along radial straight line to the driving disk surface. The deflector hood 9 is mounted between the disks enveloping the loading wedging zone. The deflector hood is made in the form of bow. Branches of the said bow can have different size, form and can be beveled. Loading being carried out and the gear being switching on, grain falls on working surface of the driving disk and impinges the deflector hood 9 under the of effect centrifugal force. Bounced from the deflector hood, grain gets into the wedging zone, grasping zone and crimping zone. Crimped grain is moved with centrifugal force into the unloading channel.

EFFECT: small size, convenience and working reliability.
