ABSTRACT:
A declusterer device for engaging and removing clusters of pod vegetables joined together by stem sections from a mass of such vegetables and presenting such clusters to knives for cutting. A plurality of axially spaced stiffener partitions are disposed in an inclined cylindrical drum constructed of connected cylindrical segments in a conventional manner. Each partition has a central passage through which pod vegetables pass which is defined by a plurality of substantially straight primary edges. Notches are defined between each adjacent pair of primary edges by the extended end of one primary edge and a retaining edge extending therefrom in trailing relation to the point of termination of the leading end of the adjacent primary edge. The adjacent primary edges are spaced sufficiently to permit the stem sections of the vegetable clusters to be received within the notches for engagement by the retaining edges when the drum and baffles are rotated to remove the clusters from the mass. Intermediate notches are also provided at intermediate positions on the primary edges, and are defined by forward and retaining edges each extending at an angle to the adjacent primary edge. The partitions are oriented in the drum so that the primary edges defining the central passages of adjacent partitions are not in axial registry to agitate and facilitate separation of individual pod vegetables and clusters from the mass.
