Zusammenfassung:A machine is provided for removing pith from soybean straw, so that the straw can be used in the formation of fiber board. The machine includes a frame with inlet and outlet ends. A pair of compression rollers is mounted on the frame adjacent the inlet end and compresses the straw as the straw passes through the compression rollers. A pair of cutting rollers are provided downstream from the compression rollers and cut the straw along its length. A pair of crushing rollers is provided downstream from the cutting rollers and further crushes the straw so that the pith is easily removed therefrom. The cut and crushed straw is discharged from the machine and is ready for use in making fiber board. At least one roller in each pair of rollers is spring mounted to prevent binding of straw in the machine.
