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