In the agricultural industry, ensuring the quality and safety of harvested grains is paramount. Grain screening is a critical process that separates impurities, enhancing the quality of your products. You can achieve cleaner, safer grains using advanced industrial grain screening equipment. This essential step boosts market value and protects consumer health, making it a cornerstone of efficient agricultural operations.

Importance of Grain Quality and Safety

Grain quality and safety are paramount in agriculture. High-quality grains fetch better market prices and ensure consumer satisfaction. Our industrial grain screening equipment plays a pivotal role in various agricultural processes by:

• Removing impurities: Eliminates stones, dirt, and husks.
• Enhancing product quality: Ensures uniform grain size.
• Reducing mold and pests: Minimizes risks of infestations.
• Improving market value: Fetches better prices for cleaner grains.

These benefits contribute to safer and more profitable agricultural operations.

Types of Industrial Grain Screening Equipment

Grain screening involves various equipment types, each catering to specific needs in processing grains.

Vibratory Screeners

Vibratory screeners are popular in agriculture for their high efficiency and ability to handle large volumes of grain. These machines use vibration to separate particles based on size. The Snappy Shaker, for instance, offers high-intensity screening, cleaning, and sifting capabilities, processing up to 50 tons per hour. Vibratory screeners are versatile and can handle various grains, making them essential for large-scale operations.

Vibratory Screeners with Aspiration

Air finishers like the Snappy Air Finisher use both vibration and aspiration to separate materials. These screeners efficiently remove lightweight materials and dust via aspiration while also utilizing vibration to separate particles based on size, ensuring cleaner grains. They offer multiple deck configurations and can handle up to 25 tons per hour. Air finishers are ideal for applications requiring gentle handling of grains to maintain product integrity.

Centrifugal Sifters

Centrifugal sifters, like the Power Sifter, are designed for high-capacity sifting, using rotating paddle blades to throw material against a sieve screen while also moving the oversized products downstrean. Depending on product characteristics, these sifters efficiently separate clumps from desired materials and can process up to 100,000 lbs. per hour. While utilizing a high RPM for the centrifugal separation process, these units are surprisingly gentle on the product and which makes them suitable for processing high volumes of delicate grains.

Grain Cleaners

Grain cleaners are specialized equipment designed for precision screening and air aspiration. They effectively remove fines and oversized particles from grains, ensuring high-quality output. S. Howes Grain Cleaners combine screening action with air aspiration, providing superior cleaning efficiency. Available in various models, they can handle capacities up to 25,000 bushels per hour, making them indispensable for large-scale grain processing.

Custom Separating & Screening Equipment

Custom-designed screening equipment is available for unique processing needs. These systems are tailored to specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. Whether it’s adjusting screen sizes, incorporating additional features, or integrating with existing systems, custom screening equipment provides flexible and reliable solutions for the agricultural industry.

Each type of equipment plays a crucial role in maintaining grain quality and safety, ensuring that agricultural products meet industry standards and consumer expectations.
