Grain Cleaners Fit Any Size Operation
Metra sizes its grain cleaners to capacities ranging from 200 bu/hr. on small farms to 8,000 bu/hr. at large facilities. Each of the company’s 10 aerodynamic models is sized to the falling grain’s trajectory based on the volume of air being pumped along with static and dynamic pressure. This technology precisely separates kernels from chaff based on the relative density of the material being cleaned.
A company spokesman says each model is individually constructed with a straight flow axial motor, a propeller, an airflow straightener, and horizontal nozzles that direct air into specific paths. The size and number of fan blades and nozzles determine capacities.
Meta machines have more height in the separation chamber compared to other models on the market, which allows the grain to fly further and be suspended in the air longer before it enters the discharge chutes. This design provides excellent separation of heavy or light impurities from high-value seed. All models can be equipped with a cyclone dust collector for cleaner operation.
Metra cleaners don’t produce swirling grain that adversely affects cleaning quality. The cleaning chamber is sized for optimum air and seed flow without unequal separating on the sides. Adjustable shutters direct grain into double-sided chutes that direct materials to either side of the machine after cleaning.
Metra cleaners are made of certified materials and hold U.S. and Canadian patents. The cleaners work on all types of cereal grains, legumes, oilseeds, corn, peas, and different types of beans and vegetable seeds. There are no screens in the machines and maintenance requirements are less than competitive models. One person can easily operate a Metra cleaner safely and effectively.
The machines can run on electric power from a dedicated source or a generator. Machines can be mounted stationary or on a trailer for mobile use. Contact the company or its U.S. and Canadian distribution offices for pricing and availability.
