Drum Type Pre-cleaning Systems
Nowadays, pre-cleaning systems that offer economic results are also designed to completely separate foreign objects such as straw, chaff, wood, etc. from the grain in the grain silo. As the grain enters the system and passes through the sieves, foreign objects cannot pass through the cylindrical sieves. Cleaning large materials that are larger than the grain not only increases the quality of the grains but also prevents malfunctions and blockages that may occur in the facility. In the machine, the drum is made of perforated sheets according to the product characteristics. During sieving, a brush assembly that contacts the sieves outside the cylinder is also in place to prevent blockages that may occur as grains get stuck in the sieve holes.
Things to Know About Pre-cleaning Systems
Drum-type pre-cleaning machines are used to separate coarse foreign objects that are too large to pass through the dust and sieve holes in grain silos. The machines generally consist of two parts, and the first part has an air channel and aspiration systems to separate the dust from the grain. The capacities of the cleaning machines vary according to the diameters of the drums, their lengths, rotation speeds, drum angle, number of compartments, hole diameters on the sieves fitted to the machines, and the contamination levels of the grains. The capacity tables for grain silo products always provide maximum values. Furthermore, the capacity also varies according to these variables.
