ABSTRACT:
Thorns from plant stems are stripped off by feeding the plant stem between splines. The splines project radially from respective rotary components arranged side by side. The rotary components rotate towards each other as viewed from the opening in the topside of the housing and away from each other as viewed from the opening in the bottomside of the housing. The plant stem having thorns is fed through the topside opening in the housing in a direction toward the bottomside opening to reach a location between said rotary components so that said brush splines swipe against said thorns thereby removing the same from the stem.
