corn sheller

Cob stripping device

A corn sheller is a device or machine that removes kernels from ears of corn, separating the grain from the cob.

Hand-cranked shellers were common on farms before mechanization; modern versions range from small hand tools to large industrial machines.

We found an antique corn sheller in the barn.
