Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A lifting conveyor for an agricultural separator, comprises at least one rotatable member (4-6) having a plurality of axially-spaced starwheels (19) each having a plurality of angularly-spaced flexible fingers (25). Means (1 min ) for feeding material to the rotatable member (4), and means (3) for receiving material from the rotatable member (4) are provided so that the feeding means (1 min ), the rotatable member (4) and the receiving means (3) provide an inclined conveyor surface extending upwardly from the feeding means (1 min ) to the receiving means (3). Means for rotating the rotatable member (4) to lift material thereon are also provided. The replacement of the normal lifting web by a starwheel lifting portion (2) requires less power, provides less wear and makes for a shorter lifting conveyor.
