CLEANING SEPARATOR


Suitable for the cleaning process of different types of cereals by size grading.
According to the cereals to be cleaned the separator will be equipped with different types of perforated metal screens.
The cereal is selected through a set of grading passages and a vibration system will speed up the product flow on the metal screens.
The unit is complete with inspection and maintenance doors and equipped with quick type hooks for sieves removal.
The suspension system consists in rubber shock absorbers.
The vibrators are completely closed and protected.
Completely metal structure.



DRY STONER


The separating system of the unit is based on an aspiration process which allows the cereal to float while the foreign bodies, which are heavier than the cereal, will make a layer underneath it. The ejection of the heavier bodies is obtained by the vibrations of the working deck on which they lay and by the special shape of the net that helps them go upwards towards the discharge spout placed opposite the cereal outlet.
Totally metal construction.
Adjustment and control: large inspection windows, side doors for quick action, air adjustment system, regulation devices for working deck inclination and for vibrating system plus adjustment of eccentric masses.



GRAVITY SEPARATOR


For the selection of products of same dimensions but different specific weight: broken maize from germs.
The inclination of the working deck is adjustable either in transversal or longitudinal way so as to grant an accurate selection according to the products to be processed.
The knobs placed on the front side of the machine will move the hoppers that receive the selected products to be discharged. The hood placed over the working deck allows an even and constant aspiration work.
Special rubber shock absorbers to avoid floor vibrations.
Drive by means of eccentric mass vibrating motor.
Finishing with rust proof and industrial enamel.



ASPIRATOR SEPARATOR


To be used when high quality separation of light particles contained in the product is needed.
The working principle is based on a stream of air that goes through the heavy products, gets hold of the light particles and carries them away.
Vertical cone shaped structure with paddle type rotor fitted inside the lower part of the unit and moved by an external aspiration system.
Completely metal construction, with large inspection windows.



BRUSHING UNIT


Completely closed processing chamber. Inside jacket made of special steel net fitted onto a rotating shaft with special shaped spokes that will revolve the product. The rotation movement will produce a rubbing action against the walls of the jacket and between the grains themselves and consequently will take the bran off the grains.
Drive by means of belts and pulleys. Shaft supported by roller bearings fitted on the external part.
Product discharge hopper at one end of the machine and dust discharge hopper placed underneath the center of the unit.



PADDY SEPARATOR


It separates dehusked kernels from those that need final dehusking.
Metal working deck formed by small triangular compartments of special dimensions through which the kernels are separated by the alternate movement and the particular inclination of the working deck.
Drive and transmission group fitted inside the base structure complete with a metal platform that houses a large pulley connected to the working deck by means of a pivot system that generates the alternate movement.
Enclosed type working deck with large inspection windows that allow to check the separation process.



HORIZONTAL MAIZE DEGERMINTOR


The main parts of the unit are:

- Rotor with degerming elements
- Stiff type inside sieve
- External body including hoppers

The rotor consists of a shaft holding a set of spokes with section-irons duly machined and shaped to ensure a uniform size reduction of the kernel thus keeping the germ in a whole piece.
The centrifugal force pushes the fine particles (animal meal) obtained during the degerming process through the separation sieve fitted around the degerming area.
Two concentric but separate hoppers are placed in the lower part of the machine; the outer one will receive the fine particles from the sieve while the broken kernels that don't pass through it will fall towards the center into the inner hopper.
External casing in welded steel sheet duly reinforced with section irons and complete with inspection doors.



VERTICAL MAIZE DEGERMINATOR


It effects a combined peeling and degerming operation of maize grains thus allowing the removal of both hull and germ.
Peeling and degerming operations are carried out inside a chamber of vertical cone shape.
The product is loaded into the side of the machine by a feed screw.
Fixed type conical chamber (stator) and shaft (rotor) which rotates on external supporting elements.
Thanks to the special shape of stator and rotor surfaces the grains will receive a friction action between the rotor and the stator besides a rubbing effect between themselves. This will allow the removal of both hull and germ.
The gap between stator and rotor can be adjusted, this will allow to change the inside volume of the working chamber and consequently the production yields for both quality and quantity.
The regular operation of the machine takes place when the working area (between rotor and stator) is fully occupied: this is possible thanks to a device placed at the discharge which allows the machine to download only the excess material maintaining the working area full.
The products separated during process (hull and germ) will pass through perforated screen sheets fitted on the stator. In order to have better results in product separation the external part of the stator is closed and aspirated.
Easy inspection and maintenance operations of both rotor and stator.



VERTICAL COOKER


The vertical Cooker Olla offers a cereal cooking process that allows to obtain many results for different final uses. Its favorable time-temperature relationship guarantees a high transformation degree of starches contained in cereals and legumes.
