What Are Grain Cleaners and How Do They Work?

In a grain cleaner, product passes through screens, air flow, or separation mechanisms suited to product characteristics. Foreign material of different size and density is separated from grain, leaving the main product line cleaner.

Key Features

• Separation of straw, hulls, dust, and foreign material of various sizes
• Improved product quality before storage and drying
• Protection of conveying and process equipment from foreign material
• Various screen configurations according to product and capacity

Applications

• Grain receiving and pre-cleaning lines
• Product preparation before silo storage
• Feed and flour mills
• Seed and agricultural product processing plants

Integration with Plant and Automation Systems

The machine connects to the process line together with feed bunkers, elevators, aspiration, magnets, waste lines, and clean product conveyors.

Engineering and Product Selection

Commodity type, foreign material rate, target cleaning level, capacity, and waste structure are important in selecting suitable screens and air settings.
