Abstract

An apparatus for removing the husk from grain, in particular as a laboratory or small-scale grain kernel peeler, and for producing dehusked grain seeds, has a peeler including a first disk and a second disk movable relative to the first disk and drivable about a vertical axis. The disks enclose, between main faces made of a temperature-stable and elastic material, a working space fillable with grain from the side opposite the second disk through a central first disk filling opening. By rotating the second disk, the kernel and husk can be separated by a radial movement along the disks so that kernel and husk leave the peeler on its outer circumference via an outlet which opens via a chute into a collecting bin, the chute having a lateral air inlet supplied with an air stream so that the husks leave the chute laterally in front of the collecting bin.
