The ears of corn are _shoveled direct into the Sheller_, and fall
on to the center of a flat Perforated Shelling Wheel where they are
thrown by centrifugal force towards the outside, but being caught
by guides held down by a spring plate working between them are, “by
the action of the wheel,” made to revolve, the corn shelled off,
and the cobs forced off the wheel _endwise and without being
broken_, fall on the Cob Carrier, and are carried away from the
Sheller; while the shelled corn passes through the Cob Carrier to
the Shaker, and thence to the Conveyor, into the Elevator, when it
is raised into bags, wagons or cars.
_In cleaning the shelled corn they cannot be excelled._ In addition to
our Cob Carrier, we have a Shaker with a sieve made of perforated iron,
which is preferable to a wire sieve, as no silks will adhere to and clog
it. While falling on and passing through the Shaker, the grain is
subjected to a strong blast from the fan, which thoroughly cleans it of
all chaff, pieces of cobs, dirt, etc., leaving it in prime order for
market.
Our No. 1 will shell and clean from 700 to 1200 bushels of shelled corn
per day, with two to four horse power.
THE VETERAN.
[Illustration: Two-Hole Separating Sheller.]
For these we have a steady demand at all times of the year, and send
them to all parts of the country.
They do not operate in the loose rattling way of ordinary Two-Hole Hand
Shellers, got up to sell cheap, but work as closely and effectively as
any of the most effective Power Shellers; and no hand sheller has been
so much relied on for regular business as the Veteran.
The frames are made of the best and most thoroughly seasoned hard wood,
framed as closely as the joints can be driven together, and are “solid
as rock.” The shafts, shelling wheels, boxes, journals, etc., are on the
same scale of strength and close fitting.
They have the revolving wire cob carrier for separating the cobs from
the shelled corn, and when so ordered, they can be fitted with a band
wheel for connecting with power, and a feed table, as shown in the cut,
thus making a small and convenient power sheller.
THE CADET.
[Illustration: Single or One-Hole Hand Sheller.]
It is strong framed: the frame being of the best seasoned hard wood,
capped with iron. Has the same character of shelling wheels as the power
shellers, bored true and fitted on shafts which are turned full length
and held in strong and durable boxes; has a fine adjustment of spout
irons and springs.
_It separates the Cobs from the Shelled Corn, and has a Fan for Cleaning
the Grain._
