ABSTRACT:
A corn shelling device is disclosed comprising a support structure, a plurality of rollers rotatably mounted within the support structure and having an abrasive outer surface for shearing off the kernels, and power means for rotating each individual roller at a different speed. The rollers are generally cylindrical in shape and disposed at an acute angle with the vertical axis of the support structure so that an ear of corn will be received among the rollers in contact with each roller at one point. An alternate embodiment further skews the rollers at an acute angle to increase the feed of the cob and the shelling speed. A guide directs the corn into position relative to the rollers.
