Salient Features:
The machine winnows paddy already threshed by the paddy thresher or by other means. It has a feeding hopper at the top to receive the threshed paddy, chaff and  straw bits. A blower provided at the bottom sends a stream of air which separates the straw, chaff and other impurities. The dust, chaff and straw come out through an opening and cleaned paddy is taken out through another spout.
