The effect of clearance between cylinders in husking machine ( type) on maize cultivars of Jasmine (JA) and Mishkhab (MI-31) were tested during sheller at three clearance of 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6mm. The experiments were carried out in a factorial experiment under complete randomized design with three replications. The results showed that the JA cultivar was significantly better than the MI-31in all studied conditions. The results showed a machine productivity, power required, husking efficiency, breakage percentage, cracked grain and head rice percentage 1.626 and 1.437 t.hr-1, 12.321 and 13.183 kW, 82.434% and 81.014%, 6.715 and 7.423%, 3.885 and 4.520% and 65.536% and 64.163% for AJ and MI-31, respectively. The clearance of 0.6 mm was significantly superior to the levels of 0.4 and 0.5mm in all studied conditions.
