German term or phrase: Maisrebler vs. Maisschälmaschine
Ich fand für beides "maize/corn husking machine", aber das kann ja wohl nicht stimmen.
Die Schälmaschine entfernt die Blätter vom Mais, der Maisrebler reibt die Maiskörner vom Kolben ab.
Mehr kann ich als Kontext nicht bieten. Tut mir leid, dass ich nach 2 Ausdrücken frage, aber so erscheint mir die Frage logischer.

corn sheller vs. corn husker
Explanation:
A corn sheller is used to remove the corn kernels from the cob. When the dry ears of corn grate against the teeth of the round shelling gear, the kernels separate from the cob. Shelled corn is fed to the chickens, ducks, geese, and other animals, and is used as seed for the new corn crop.

The large corn sheller is used for large quantities of dried ear corn. Much faster than the hand corn sheller, it operates in the same way as the hand corn sheller.

Corn Husker
It strips the layers of husk without damaging the kernels.
