Aspirators – KIA
The KIA is designed to separate light impurities or dust from all types of grain.
The cleaning of agricultural crops is an important issue of the future. The KIA series offers various different models to suit diverse needs for the required capacities and space available.
The KIA aspirators are suitable for capacities from 425 to 2000 bu./hour (corn).
How the KIA works
Using the aspiration principle, the grain falls through an upward-moving air stream generated by a blower that is mounted on the Aspirator. The lighter impurities are drawn up by the air stream through the blower and conveyed through a pipe system into a cyclone or a container, while the clean grain falls through the bottom of the Aspirator.
A rotating distributor table in the bottom part of the Aspirator ensures that the material is evenly distributed in the air stream. This provides maximum cleaning efficiency.
Optional equipment for the KIA 20 and 60 includes a motor for the distributor table, which ensures a constant rpm. When the motor rpm is managed by frequency control, the cleaning performance is considerably increased as the material is more evenly distributed in the Aspirator.
Benefits
- Modular system with great flexibility for built-in systems.
- Cost-effective way to clean grain before going into storage or coming out.
