Pneumatic System
Involves conveying piped air, being under suction using a centrifugal type fan, incidentally the heart of a Pneumatic system, a separator in the from of a cyclone, and a dust collector usually of the filter sleeve type, and a dust collection system usually consisting of either a Reverse jet filter collector cleaned by high pressure fan through a rotating manifold, or a similar filter cleaned by jets of compressed air controlled by an electrical timing mechanism.
Grain Separator
Wheat falls freely though the inlet onto the coarse screen which removes string, straw, large stones, maize etc. the through falls onto the sand screen which removes broken kernels, sand & other fine impurities. Tailings from the lower sieve layer consist of cleaned grain and pass to the outlet. The drive mechanism imparts a circular motion on the sieves, which gives an increase in capacity and also more efficient sieving effects.
Rotolips Separator
It effects three definite & distinct separations.
Removal of material of larger diameter than the grain being handled & much of the material that is substantially longer, straws, maze, etc.
Mechanical sifting out of dust, sand & small seeds
Removal of light screenings by means of an efficient aspirating system combined with a setting chamber for the separation of the majority of light screening from the air, chaff, husks, light grains, etc.
Gravity Separator
In certain circumstances due to types of wheat available, or products specifications, specific gravity separators are used to make efficient separating not possible by other means. Such separation would be.
Ergot from wheat
Light or damaged kernels from wheat
Grading of durum wheat for semolina manufacture where the difference is specific gravity is only slight
