y different types of grain- and seed- cleaning operations. They are available in many different makes and designs. The basic

equipment consists of two shaking screens. The top screen, with larger perforations than the wheat size, removes larger impurities while

allowing wheat kernels to drop through.Wheat kernels along with ner impurities are then spread on the bottom screen, whichhas ner

perforations than the wheat size, allowing only ner impurities to pass throughthe screen and be removed separately. Wheat kernels, thus,

One such aspiration channel with an air-recycling feature will be de-scribed later. modern separator classier is shown in Fig. 7. This machine can be used for variety of grain, coffee bean, and cocoa bean cleaning and grading operations. This is h
