Pre-cleaning grain by weight and size
In order to remove heavier impurities from the grain, it is necessary to use a cleaning process, also called pre-cleaning. The first screen section separates large impurities (oversize) from the grain. The next screen section retains the good grains, while small grains and small impurities such as sand are separated.
After processing on the screens, the grain passes through a suction and cleaning section, which removes the remaining dust and light particles in the good grain.
The impurities and screenings are transported through pipes to be discharged through a cyclone to a storage facility, such as a trailer.
