Explanation:

Olpad thresher originated at small place Olpad in Gujarat state. Olpad thresher is mainly a wheat thresher and pulled by a pair of bullocks. It is very popular in Punjab. The thresher consists of around 5-7 corrugated discs that are mounted on three rods and these rods are joined by two parallel running steel belts with the help of a bearing. Since the thresher needs to operate in a circular manner and requires at least 8-10 cm space, about 15-20 discs spanning a diameter of 45 cm are arranged in a nonlinear pattern. This thresher operated in a circular manner and required 8-10 m. space. It can be moved up to complete threshing.
