    Grain Cleaners/Scalpers

    Does anyone have experience with these wind/specific gravity machines?
    I am looking to take small seed weeds out of fababeans and oats.
    I have used a Kwik Kleen before, they are ok but auger flighting on faba beans may Be damaging and pin oats tend to plug the rolls.plus you have to buy different sized rolls for different conditions.

    These designs seem to be only wind and gravity almost too simple !
    Testimonials claim farmers are using these systems for fusarium in wheat.

    They are aspirators.. one piece of a much larger puzzle... do a reasonable job of weight based separations.. not a silver bullet by any means..

      For the past two years at farm progress show I was very impressed with their cleaners. Simple and seem to work well. Different than an aspirator as it separates the flow into multiple different clean outputs.

      This year they had another funny big seive that really was more the like screen on an aspirator to help get the heavier/ larger pieces out like whole and partial heads

        IT IS A glorified aspirator.. but different... there made you feel better.. have seen them in action and am considering adding one in my unload system eventually and another as a final air sweep on properly sized, density separated, destoned, full spectrum colour sorted real planting seed. still would not consider it as any thing more than a dockage removal tool.
