The article deals with the issues related to the use of a knife-cylinder type of apparatus to increase the productivity of a corn harvester at the milky-wax stage of ripeness. This device helps reducing the percentage of losses and injury of sweet corn kernels due to the use of cutting process during the cob separation, as well as due to the absence of pressure on a cob.
