A separating rotor with a rotor tube for use on a combine harvester has a plurality of crop engaging finger elements. Each finger element is mounted to a respective finger support which is secured to the rotor tube. Each finger element has a planar body with a flared base portion which presents a leading edge to the crop material with a relatively shallow angle with respect to the tube.

An inlet head housing for an axial separating device includes a pair of separating rotors arranged parallel to one another having a first end protruding, in sections, into the inlet head housing. The inlet head housing also includes flat inlet sections extending along a width of each of the respective separating rotors and a ramp-shaped housing section having a substantially concave profile is arranged between the flat inlet sections. The housing section at least partially supports a separation of a crop flow into two partial flows to the separating rotors and a substantially blade-shaped separating element is arranged on the ramp-shaped housing section and extends substantially axially parallel thereto.

A separating system of a combine harvester comprises a rotor, a cover extending around an upper region of the rotor and a separator grate extending around a lower region of the rotor. A crop flow vane extends along an internal face of the cover projecting towards the rotor. The crop flow vane comprises a head portion at which it is attached to the cover and a tail portion which is spaced from the cover to create a gap.
