ABSTRACT:
A portable batch type herb processing machine has a housing sized to fit on a counter top and is easily carried by a single person. Leafy portions of herbal material are separated from stems, seeds and twigs by introducing the herbal material into a selectively expandable stripping chamber where the leafy material is sheared from the stems, seeds and twigs. An upwardly directed air stream carries the light leafy material through a selectively expandable conduit into a collection chamber where the leaf material may be removed for further processing or use. The air stream can then be selectively increased to flush the stems, seeds and twigs through the conduit into the collection chamber for removal therefrom. The expandable stripping chamber and conduit may be selectively detached to provide access to the interior of the machine.
