Abstract:
An apparatus for separating grains of seed or fertilizer includes a separating device having a housing with a housing base for mounting on an agricultural machine. A releasable housing cover is arranged on the housing base in a releasable manner. A grain sump receives the grains introduced into the housing interior to be separated out. A rotatable separating disc having openings is positioned in the housing interior. An overpressure region is formable in the housing cover on a front side of the separating disc during operation, such that a flow can form from the overpressure region through the openings to the rear side of the disc and grains separated can be localized near the openings. A grain transfer device includes a feed, a wall bushing and an outlet, wherein the separated grains can be introduced through the feed into the bushing and discharged from the housing interior through the bushing.
