What’s process of threshing & winnowing & farm equipment has 3 functions reaping threshing & winnowing that combine into a single process?
Combine Harvester commonly known as 'combine' is a key invention that saves cost and time for farmers. Like the name suggests, this machine simply combines the three major harvesting operations – reaping, threshing, and winnowing into a single process. Threshing is done by beating the sheaves against the wooden bars which separate the grains from the stalks. Winnowing is the process of removing the husk from the grains. It is done when grains are poured from a height on a windy day. Pounding the sheaves against the wooden bars is performed to remove the grains from the stalks. Winnowing: This is the method of separating the unpleasant husk from food. It is achieved by pouring the grains on a windy day, from a height, when the grains fall on the ground and the chaff is swept away. The traditional way of winnowing is making the dried grains fall from a height using shovels and a sieve. The quality grains which are heavy fall vertically while the weightless chaff and straw get blown away by the wind. Thus, winnowing is effective only when there is a wind.
Threshing is the process of loosening the edible part of grain from the husks and straw to which it is attached. It is the step in grain preparation after reaping and before winnowing, which separates the grain from the chaff. Winnowing is the agricultural process for separating grain from chaff. Fashion is the process of separating the grains from the harvested cut plants. Earlier threshing was done with the help of animals. Nowadays a machine called thresher is used for this purpose. It also separates the grain from the chaff. Winnowing is an ancient method for the separation of grains from the chaff or husk. Winnowing is based on the principle that a mixture of two components in which one component is lighter than another one when both components are exposed to a blow of air, separate by falling down the lighter component. Threshing is pounding the sheaves against the wooden bars is performed to remove the grains from the stalks. Winnowing is separating the unpleasant husk from food. It is achieved by pouring the grains on a windy day, from a height, when the grains fall on the ground and the chaff is swept away. A Combine Harvester is a vital piece of equipment for the modern farm which is designed for harvesting, threshing, separating, cleaning and collecting grain while moving through the standing crop. This allows the crop to be harvested more quickly and efficiently, and enables farmers to harvest larger amounts.
