A maize sheller removes kernels from the cob principally by

  • A.Soaking and washing the cob
  • B.Rubbing the cob between rotor and cage
  • C.Cutting the kernels off with knives
  • D.Blowing the kernels off with air

Answer: B

The cob is worked between the rotor and the cage until the kernels shear from the rachis, and the empty cob is then discharged separately. Shelling is easiest at moderate moisture, since very dry kernels crack and very wet ones cling.
