Application:
Seed Corn is brought in from the field where the Hughes Husker performs the task of efficiently removing the
husk from the ear as well as any field trash. The husk free ear is then discharged from the husking bed for
further processing.
- Hydraulic Cover Lift System.
Operation:
Corn is fed into the infeed hopper through the use of a metering tilt belt. The infeed hopper feeds a metering
conveyor that supplies a controlled flow of corn to the vibratory feed pan. The vibratory feed pan creates an
evenly distributed flow of corn onto the husking bed. The husking bed is comprised of a number of lanes that
consist of two shafts rotating against each other. Attached to these shafts are a variety of rolls that grab the
husk and remove it from the ear. The husked ear travels to the end of the bed where it is conveyed away.

Optional Adjustable Feeder:
Ease of Maintenance:
Hughes’ Multiple Position Delivery System
ensures maximum husking efficiency with
reduced product damage and shelling. This
innovative feeder allows customers to
control how far down the husking bed the
ears are initially exposed to the husking
rolls. The further down the ears are fed onto
the bed, the less number of rolls the product
is exposed to during the husking process.
This both reduces shelling and results in a
longer roll life.
Hughes Equipment Company’s two or four point lubrication
system allows multiple lines on the Husker to be lubricated
simultaneously through the use of a single grease fitting. A
single distribution block is located on each of the four corners
of the Husker (only two blocks for model 404 or 804) . These
blocks save time by allowing one grease point to be used for
multiple lines.
To further reduce labor costs, an automatic lubrication system
can be added to the setup to lubricate the shafts. A fully
automated lube system is also available.

The rod type kernel remover with discharge
chute passes the incoming product over a
rod grate. As the ears pass over the grate,
loose kernel corn and small trash passes
through the rods to be collected while
unhusked ears continue onto the feeder pan
for husking.

Roll Options:
Efficient Drive System:
Hughes’ varied roll offerings are constructed using
abrasion resistant rubber or polyurethane. Options
include the Maxi, High Profile with steel rib and the
Spiral with steel rib. Rolls are available in a variety
of 1½” and 1¾” bore sizes and lengths.
Hughes’ cog-belt drive system eliminates the excess maintenance
associated with competitors’ gear box drive systems. This design
not only gives the customer more efficient use of horsepower, by
not losing power through gearboxes, but also creates a stronger
drive which requires no tear down maintenance at season’s end.
Maxi Roll Features for Seed Corn
- Deep grooved auger channel removes high
volumes of trash.
- Interlocking cutting ribs reduce roll burning from
stand up ears.
- Aggressive setup allows for maximum husking
efficiency, resulting in fewer recycled ears.

Hydraulic LIft Options:
In the quest to ease maintenance, Hughes has
engineered two hydraulic lift options for use on its
Husker cover or its “W” feeder pan. These lifts save both
time and worker strain in allowing fast and easy access
to the Husker bed and drive system.
