ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for separating intermixed heavier and lighter materials of varied dimension and mass-to-area ratios, being particularly adapted to harvesting fallen nuts intermixed with leaves and other foreign matter. The separator element is used where the fruit and foreign matter are being borne in a common air stream by means of imposing the separator in said air stream whereby a perforated surface on said separator carries the debris in a direction opposite from the movement of the fruit towards a collection zone. The debris is carried away from the separator zone by the mechanical action of the moving surface in addition to the debris carrying propensity of the air stream.
