Title: Rub-threshing machine

Abstract: Rub-threshing machine for threshing grains and pulse comprising at least two endless belts which have been passed around guiding- and driving rollers, are driven at different speeds and are in mutual contact over a part of their surface length so as to thresh material at that location which is supplied to the belts. At least the lower threshing belt and preferably also the top threshing belt, is constructed of rod shaped elements, transverse with respect to the belt's direction of travel, and interconnected at their ends in such manner that the rods obtain a mutual spacing which is selected, for each sort of crop to be processed such, that the fruit can fall through the rods.
