Grain and Seed Separation for Mixed Crops

Efficient crop separation solutions using custom process separation screens and precision cleaning systems for mixed harvests.

Pneumatic Solutions for Grain and Seed Separation

When different crops such as peas and grain—or maize and beans—are harvested together, post-harvest grain separation becomes essential. Kongskilde offers solutions for how to separate maize and beans or how to separate corn kernels and beans using screen-based and pneumatic technologies.

Seed separation begins with mechanical screening, where screens featuring precise perforating for agriculture allow smaller kernels to fall through while larger ones are retained. This enables the separation of grains based on size, improving downstream cleaning and storage.

Large kernels are typically cleaned of dust and impurities during their first pass through a cleaning machine. Smaller kernels, often mixed with fine debris after passing through the screen, require a second cleaning cycle to ensure they meet storage or grading quality.

Crop Separation Systems and Products

The Kongskilde KDC cleaner is a high-performance solution for grain and seed separation, combining aspiration and process separation screens in one unit. With capacities up to 80 t/h, it’s ideal for pre-cleaning crops like maize, barley, wheat, rye, peas, and beans—whether for feed, storage, or separate seed grading.

From separating corn kernels and beans to preparing malting barley for market, Kongskilde systems offer efficiency and accuracy in every step of crop separation.
