Scalper
 A scalper can be used to rough
clean seed when trash content is
high.
 The scalper basically consists of a
vibrating or rotating screen or
sieve.
 The screen perforations are large
enough to allow the rough seed
to pass through readily while
large inert material is scalped off
and removed from the seed lot.
 Some of the high moisture
particles may be removed
 Normally much higher output
than fine cleaning
De awner
 Before air screen cleaner
 Optional, it can be bypassed
 Seed flows much better in rest of
cleaning process
 Important when mechanical
planting machines are used
 May be important for breaking
dormancy in some species
Fanning Mill
 Screen cleaners that employ an air blast
to assist in cleaning is known as fanning
mill. Though
 these are used for cleaning but these are
not effective as regards to density and if
the materials have the
 same or nearly the same shape. Here in
addition to the aspirating fan used to
draw air through the
 material fed on 1st screen unit, another
fan is used to force the air through the
product after fine grading
AIR SCREEN CLEANER
 A common air screen cleaner for processing seed uses two air blasts and two screens.
 The first air system removes dust and light chaff before the seed reaches the first
screen.
 The first screen allows the good seed to drop onto the second screen. The large
foreign material rides over the first screen and is discarded.
 The second screen is a grading screen
 Uses three cleaning systems; aspiration, scalping screen and grading lower screen
 Classified into two types based on the movement of the screening surface
• Vibratory screen cleaner
• Rotary screen cleaner
Vibratory screen cleaner
 Screening unit is composed of double or multiple
screens.
 Screens are tightened together and suspended in such
a manner that these have horizontal oscillating and
slightly vertical motion.
 The slope of the screen is adjustable to control the
rate of forward travel of the grain
 To avoid clogging, the screens are fitted with brush
Two screen m/c fitted with aspirator to suck the
lighter materials
 Coarse impurities are screened off by upper screen
Fine impurities are screened off by lower screen
Grains are again cleaned by upward draft of air in the
ascending separator
 During this process, remaining lighter impurities and
shriveled grains are sucked away
 Lighter impurities are removed by Cyclone separator
Rotary air screen cleaner
 Has normally circular decks
 Motion is circular in horizontal plane
 Either single or double drum
 Consists of a rotary screen, aspirator and
hopper
 Sound grains pass through the screen
perforation into the center of the screen
drum. Oversized material is retained above
and pass out through an outlet.
 Sound grains come out at the center side of
the drum rotating at low speed and fall onto
the vibratory screen which remove the dirt
particles
 Light impurities are sucked away by the
aspirator
 Cleaned grains are discharged through the
discharge chute
Specific Gravity Separator
Cyclone Separator
 The cyclone separator is used extensively in
processing and other operations as a device
for collecting end product.
 It is also frequently used in connection with
pneumatic conveying of products
 and wastes from processing. These are used
for removal of particle about 10 μm or more
in diameter from the air stream.
 These are used for separating particle from
liquid droplets from gases.
 Cyclones are basically used for cleaning air
or for settling the dust particles etc.
 It is used in combination with some other
machines e.g. as you have seen with
hammer mill/aspirating column etc.
Pneumatic Separator
 The aspirating column is the equipment
which is used for this purpose.
 The material is fed from the duct provided at
the side.
 The lighter particles have less terminal
velocity whereas grains and other heavy
particles have more value of terminal
velocity.
 This difference in terminal velocity provides
the basis for the separation of materials.
 This is best suited for removing very small
sized and immature grains from healthy
grains.
Inclined Draper
 The separations by inclined belts draper takes place
due to difference in shape and surface texture of the
material.
 This technique of separation is used when all other
methods fail.
 The mixture to be separated is fed over the centre of
an inclined draper belt moving direction.
 The round and smooth grains roll or slide down the
draper at faster rate than the upward motion of the
belt and these are discharged in a hopper.
 The flat shape or rough surface particles are carried to
the top of the inclined draper and dropped off into
another hopper.
 The belts of different degrees of roughness may be
used as a draper for separate materials.
 Feed rate, speed of draper and angle of inclination
are other factors for effective separation of dissimilar
materials.
Electrostatic Separator
 Electrostatic beneficiation allows for separations based
on differences in surface chemistry (work function) or
dielectric properties.
 In some instances, these separations would not be
possible using size or density separations alone.
 Electrostatic separation systems operate on similar
principles. All electrostatic separation systems contain
a system to electrically charge the particles, an
externally generated electric field for the separation to
occur in, and a method of conveying particles into and
out the separation device.
 In all electrostatic units, high potentials are used to
give practical forces of attraction. Since
 electrostatic charges leak away rapidly in moist air, so
equipment & air must be dry.
Magnetic Separator
 Magnetic Separators are most commonly used to
separate iron or steel materials that have a low
magnetic attractivity.
 Since magnetic separators have a wide variety of
functions, several devices are available.
 A simple method is of keeping a magnet close to the
contaminated material as it passes along a conveyor.
 The iron and steel particles are collected on the face
of magnet and removed periodically.
 Another method is using a magnetic pulley in a belt
conveyor. The magnet will attract the iron or steel
particles and therefore deflected to one side
 Magnetic separator performs separations on the basis
of surface texture and stickiness properties of the
grains.
 Since the grains does not contain any free iron,
therefore are not attached by the magnet.
