A combine header comprising a header table with a knife extending along the front lower edge thereof. Seed pans are evenly spaced and extend forward from the front lower edge of the header table and slot is formed between them. At a middle portion of each slot a stripping plate slopes upward, outward, and rearward from a middle first point on a first one of the sidewalls forming the slot to an upper stripping edge of the stripping plate. The upper stripping edge is located above a top rear edge of a second one of the sidewalls forming the slot and aligned with same such that a vertically oriented stripping gap is formed between the upper stripping edge of the stripping plate and the top rear edge of the second one of the sidewalls. A rotating reel moves material from the seed pans rearward onto the header table.

A harvesting apparatus for harvesting cereal grains, rice, grains or seeds, is operated as a front, side or rear attachment and has a crop stripper extending over a working width which is generating a rotor air stream, an inclined chute having a first edge facing the crop stripper and a second edge facing away from the crop stripper. The second edge is disposed to lie lower than the first edge facing the crop stripper and is attached between a threshing apparatus and a separation apparatus which extend over the predominant or the entire part of the working width. The harvesting apparatus has a cleaning air channel, wherein air from a fan and the crop stripper rotor air stream flow through the cleaning air channel for cleaning the crop. The cleaning air channel extends over the predominant part or the entirety of the working width.

A harvesting device, in particular, for harvesting cereals, rice, grains or seeds, has a crop stripper with a nose hood for determining a working width, an inclined chute, a threshing device, a separation device, a cleaning-air channel, and preferably a cleaning device, a bulk material conveyor and/or a cutting and/or crushing device.
