Is it possible to reach 100% cleanliness coefficient for wheat?
Answer is yes, though we should not forget about quality of rejected output and losses in accepted product. This сriteria can play a crucial role in ROI analysis of sorting. Our machines are being improved nonstop by smart setting (SMART-mode) that we have integrated into our software.
The contamination level of the raw material in this example is 98.8%
Contaminants:
- Barley — 0.770%
- Unhulled wheat — 0.180%
- Wild oats — 0.060%
Output of rejected material — 1.42% of raw material. 14.2 kg of each ton of the raw material.
Usually 100% cleanliness of a product is beyond the purpose, though sometimes we can face with such requirements from the organizations.
The most common conteminants removed by the color sorting machine
- Weed impurities — wild oats, Tatary buckwheat
- Grain impuritites — barley, green grain
- Mineral impurities
Preparation of seeds for planting
Capacity for color sorting of wheat to have only elite seeds is up to 7 t/h per chute.
Wheat for seeds (contamination level 98%)
- Weed impurities — 1%
- Grain impurities — 1%
Elite seeds
- Weed impurities — не более 2 шт./кг.
- Grain impurities — не более 5 шт./кг.
Preparation of food-grade wheat
Capacity for sorting food-grade wheat is up to 5 t/h per chute.
Contamination level of the raw material is 4.2%
- Weed impurities — 2,5 %.
- Grain impurities — 1,2 %.
- Mineral impurities — 0,5 %.
Food-grade wheat
- Weed impurities — 1,3 %.
- Grain impurities — 0,2 %.
- Mineral impurities — 0,1 %.
Sorting of wheat for an export
The sorting wheat for export is a unique experience because you should not lose in weight that is required by the exporter. Capacity for sorting of wheat for an export is up to 5 t/h per chute.
Contamination level of the raw material is 4.2%
- Weed impurities — 2,5 %.
- Grain impurities — 1,2 %.
- Mineral impurities — 0,5 %.
Food-grade wheat
- Weed impurities — 1,3 %.
- Grain impurities — 0,2 %.
- Mineral impurities — 0,1 %.
Sorting of wheat for a fodder
To produce fodder people usually use materails rejected after primary sorting.
Capacity for sorting of wheat for fodder is up to 3 t/h per chute.
Contamination level of the raw material is 20 %
- Weed impurities — 15 %.
- Grain impuritites — 3,5 %.
- Mineral impurities — 1,5 %.
Wheat for a fodder
- Weed impurities — 4,5 %.
- Grain impuritites — 2,2 %.
- Mineral impurities — 0,6 %.
Cleaning wheat from goatgrasses
on SmartSort B
Removing goatgrasses from winter wheat on SmartSort B. We got excellent results. Capacity — 2700 kg/h per chute. Raw material contamination level — 1.4%. Quality of accepted material — 99.85%. Percentage of a good product in a rejected one — 10%, at the same time the output of rejected material was very low.
There were other contaminants besides goatgrasses, like: barley, unhulled wheat. Our machine removed almost all of the contaminats.
Removing of the impurities that have the same size, length and thickness as wheat, including spoiled and damaged grains is possible only by color sorting machines.
Color sorting machines analyse the surface of every unit at high speed and then sort out impurities by air blast. Аппарат различает дефекты на зерне размером от 0,13 мм. Это дает возможность получить продукт с недостижимой ранее чистотой до 99,99%.
