Windboard
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-006611
A component within the cleaning system of a combine harvester, consisting of angled panels or deflectors. These boards guide the flow of air generated by the cleaning fan across the sieves. Proper adjustment of the windboards is necessary to separate chaff and other light material from the grain without blowing the heavier grain out of the machine.
