ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for harvesting sesame seed from sesame stalks having pods thereon and having a framekwork with the cylinder structure rotatably mounted in the framework. A concave structure is also mounted in the framework in a fixed position in the framework and generally underlies the cylinder structure to form an entrance area, a separating area and an exit area in conjunction with the cylinder structure. A feeder is carried by the framework for delivering sesame stalks with the pods thereon, sesame seed pods and sesame seeds to the entrance area so that they are introduced between the cylinder structure and the concave structure and pass through the separating area for separating sesame seeds therefrom and discharging the remaining stalk and pod fragments through the exit area. Walker assemblies are utilized for removing the remaining stalk and pod fragments from the exit area. The cylinder structure and the concave structure each have rows of spaced apart blades which have knife-like leading edges for slicing open said sesame seed pods so that the sesame seeds may be readily separated from the pods. The blades are carried by cylindrical surfaces.
