Grain Cleaning MachineryMega Cleaner
This series has been developed for high capacity pre-cleaning and grading within cereals, pulses and oilseeds intake and storage operations such as flour mills, feed mills, malting plants. There are two models with capacities from 120-150 MTPH and 160-200 MTPH. These cleaners have a gyratory motion for the screen decks with the screen area being accurately matched to the stroke and frequency. A pre-suction and after suction aspiration system ensures very effective control over separation of light weight material and dust
Pre-cleaning Drum Separator
Typically, this separator is installed in grain receiving lines. It serves to separate course impurities contained in cereals during the pre-cleaning phase, such as straw particles, string, paper, pieces of wood, maize leaves and cobs, etc. Using this machine can relieve downstream machines and conveyers to protect them against operating faults and damage. Feed material enters the drum via an internal chute to be conveyed along the internal area of the perforated metal screen where the sound grain discharges to a separate outlet while the coarse separated impurities overtail to a second receiving hopper – provision is made for a separate exhaust connection.
Vibratory Separator
The Vibratory Separator sifts the coarse and fine impurities from cereals and similar granular products. When equipped with tail end aspiration channel or the TFXH air-recycling aspirator, the combined function also enables the removal of the low-density particle impurities. The separator incorporates two screen decks each with two separate screen frames fitted with the correct screen material for the application. Ball cleaners are fitted to the screen frames. The drive is via two out of balance vibratory motors and the vibro-separator has a wide range of adjustments to enable precise separations to be made.
Rotary Separator
The Rotary Separator is used to separate foreign impurities of various dimension from a wide range of seed, cereal, pulses and similar granular products. The machine is made up of a freely-oscillating metallic assembly joined to the base structure by flexible suspensions. Two dismountable and easily-inspected wooden screen frames are fixed inside the body section, the upper screens separate the product from the large impurities and the lower screens separate the smaller screenings. The separator is suitable for all product cleaning through simply changing the screen frame apertures. Generally, the machine is coupled to an aspirator such as the TFDZ tail end aspirator channel or TFXH air recycle aspirator to achieve further elimination of the lighter particles present in the product. Gravity Selector
The Gravity Selector performs continuous separation of stone and similar heavy impurities from a stream of grain and grades the cereal grains into light and heavy parts. This machine has a work surface with two sieves: the first divides the flow of wheat into light and heavy fractions; the second separates the foreign bodies with specific weights higher than that of grain, such as stone and bits of glass and metal. The drive is from two out of balance vibratory motors allowing for a wide range of adjustments. A separate air exhaust is necessary to ensure that the fluidizing effect is maintained across the vibratory screens.
Gravity De-Stoner
The Gravity De-Stoner is used to continuously eliminate stones and heavy fragments from a flow of granular product. The feed inlet with valve-controlled dosage, regulates the flow of the granular product into the machine. The product is uniformly distributed by the vibration of the inclined selection table and is carried in suspension by an ascending air current, generated by an external aspirator, which allows it to flow towards the lower end. The heavier particles under the influence of the particular configuration of the selection surface, move towards the outlet placed at the upper end of the machines, while the lighter particles are aspirated by the ascending current and thus carried onto the exhaust system and filter collector.
Gravity Selector with Air-Recycling System
This type of Gravity Selector with air-recycling system works for continuous separation of stone and heavy impurities from a stream of grain, and grades the cereal grains into light and heavy fractions. It is supplied complete with a closed circuit air recycling system that allows the installation to be placed in any plant without the necessity of connections to the main exhaust system to ensure both initial capital and continuous operating cost savings
Air-Recycling Aspirator
The Air-Recycling Aspirator is used in the cleaning of granular products to eliminate foreign objects, clods and lighter particles in general. The elimination of this type of impurity is performed by air aspiration, which must be purified in successive processes. The air-recycling aspirator tends to eliminate the need to use filters, or at least reduce their required dimensions, through the incorporation of an autonomous internal cyclone separation system. The machine is made up of a vibrating feed assembly suspended from elastic supports, and an adjustable aspiration channel, the flexibility of which allows its adaptation to any operating conditions. The product, distributed across the entire aspiration channel, is surrounded by a current of air which lifts it and carries the lighter parts upwards. A cyclone battery with an aerodynamic core separates the air from the dust, which is collected using a worm-screw and discharged via a rotary air-lock. The cleaned air is recycled by the machine’s aspirator. The cleaned product falls into the lower bin, and is discharged via a rotary seal. The initial separation process can be checked via a wide illuminated visor placed on the side of the aspirator Vertical Aspirator
The vibrating Vertical Aspirator is used in the cleaning of granular products to eliminate
Intensive Scourer
The Intensive Scourer is used in the cleaning of wheat to eliminate the cortical part of the grain and also may be used in de-germination of maize within milling applications. The scouring of the product is performed by friction, caused by the centrifugal force created by the rotary movement of the beaters on the reel, between the grains themselves and between the grain and the scourer cover. The cleaned product is discharged at the opposite extreme of the machine from the inlet, while the screenings, which pass through the cover, are transferred into the collection hopper fitted to the base. Any dust caused by the turbulent flow of the product being treated is eliminated by the external exhaust fan and separate filter collection system
Combi - Cleaner
The Combi-Cleaner unit performs four operations in a single machine:
This machine features a space-saving design with a single housing for the five process operations. The central aspiration connection can combine with this machine to separate the low-density particles such as dust, hulls, chaff and shriveled kernels. Experience gained in this field confirms that this machine achieves outstanding performance characteristics and ease of operation. The Combi-Cleaner is suited to modern processing applications where space-saving and optimized performance is called for. Impact Centrifugal Destroyer
The Impact Centrifugal Destroyer is used in the cleaning of cereals or flour before packaging, to eliminate any insects and eggs present. The operation of the machine is based on the impact of the material against the pins of the rotor which spins at high speed. The product, subject to centrifugal force makes forceful contact with the peripheral collision ring, ensuring the total destruction of all infecting organisms. The material thus treated then falls into the outlet cone and is sent to the collecting system. In the FDMZ model, for low-level output, the directly coupled motor is available in various speeds according to the material to be treated. The FDMZ model, in which the motor driven by cogged belts, is built exclusively to treat large volumes of flour. Both models, on request, can be made for installation in a pressurized pneumatic line. Various versions are available for alternative applications including scouring of cereal grains, impact milling etc.
Indent Cylinders
The Indent Cylinder battery can achieve the accurate separation of round and long impurities from grain, within flour, oat, rice and specialty cereal cleaning plants as well as within grain and seed dressing plants, where high capacity, precise separations are called for. These indent cylinder machines are mostly used for the separation of foreign kernels or product grading classification.

Impact Mill
The centrifugal Impact Mill is widely used within the flour milling industry for reduction of milling products. In particular, it is used in the mills to help with the refining of milled passages following the roller mill, characterized by clean semolina and refined streams with the absences of bran impurities. The impact reduction or milling is achieved through the high speed of the rotor inside the machine. The product, entering axially, falls onto the rotor and gains a large quantity of kinetic energy, which propels it through five sets of impact beaters, two fixed on the cover and three on the rotor. At the outlet of the rotor, the feed product, unaltered in its structure and still moving at very high speed, is carried along the bottom of the casing towards the tangential outlet pipe. Supplementary regulation of the air-product mix at the outlet allows overload-free operation and, therefore these mills can be incorporated into pneumatic conveying lines. Compact and versatile, the impact mill can be either floor-mounted or suspended from the ceiling. Inclined Intensive Dampener
The Inclined Intensive Dampener is used for the uniform damping of cereals before milling to assist in the absorption of water. The cereal grain, entering the feed section tangentially, is dampened by a nozzle placed on the cover and mixed by a screw section mounted at the beginning of the rotor. The paddles fixed onto the remaining part of the rotor complete the mixing process by conveying the product towards the outlet. The ability to adjust the slope of the conveying section allows the mixing time to be regulated. The damping process can be controlled by a capacitive sensor flow detector with a manually-controlled flow meter, or, on request, by an automatic damping assembly, made up of an electronic humidity probe with flow-rate detector at the inlet bin and a microprocessor-controlled meter box for water dosing.
