How the stripper operates The moving fingers of the feeder incline a plant towards the stripping conveyer. The conveyer teeth move bottom-up at a high speed striping stalks, tearing away heads and throwing them into a trough. The auger moves the stripped plants, separates the biologically valuable grain, cleans it and feeds it to the hopper. The separated plants are conveyed to the inclined chamber of the combine to be thrashed.
