SCREEN AREA
We believe screen area is the principal key to producing the best seed. Over 95% of the seed we process is passed through a WESTRUP cleaner.
These provide 4.8 sq. metres (UB1000) or 10.8 sq. metres (FA1500) of grading sieve compared to only 2.92 on a Law Denis 200 or 1.46 on a Law-Denis 100.
(Law-Denis provides the cleaners for nearly all other mobiles).
Ball Cleaning: What is more, this large sieve area is kept clean by balls rather than brushes. Balls are much more effective than brushes and the screens are working to capacity the whole time.
Double Aspiration: The Westrup also provides effective aspiration before and after grading.
We also use Law-Denis cleaners for our smaller seed lots but our point is that for larger farms where there is pressure to process quite large seed lots we can grade at 15 tonnes per hour without in any way prejudicing quality.
GRAVITY CLEANING
Secondary to the screen area is the GRAVITY SELECTOR to lift from the graded seed extraneous admixture and the less dense, (and therefore less viable), seed.
All our seed passes through a gravity selector after it has been graded and aspirated.
MOBILE DESIGN
Over 30+ years we have built over 40 machines. As contractor operators, we are in a unique position. We bring to your farm equipment not only built to create the best sample, but also designed to operate smoothly and efficiently; e.g. setting up is simple; cleaning down is fast and simple with independent reversing switches on augers; filling big bags requires no extra seed handling as it drops directly from a “swinging hopper”. We have designed and built our own chemical applicators to ensure exact dosing of products. These are monitored continuously by the chemical manufacturers.
