ABSTRACT:
Flat pod rogues are removed from snap bean seed stock by a mechanical separation process wherein the seeds are first sized through a plurality of round holes and each size category is then further sized on slotted screens wherein the size of the slots is slightly smaller than the diameter of the round holes through which that size of beans passed, whereby the flat seeds pass through the slots and the round seeds are retained on the screen. Preferably, the slotted screens have diverging slots with a plurality of separate bins thereunder whereby the roundest seeds will travel farthest on the rods and beans can be divided into several degrees of roundness.
