Berry Cleaner "Works Like Magic"

Berry Cleaner Works Like Magic FARM HOME Food Sidney Stubbs Beaverlodge Alta used the heat transfer screen from the back side of an old refrigerator to make a low-cost berry cleaner “It’s a simple setup with no moving parts and it works fast I can clean 2 1/2 gal of huckleberries in only 3 min ” he says The berry cleaner measures about 5 ft long and 1 1/2 ft wide One end rests on the end of an ordinary ironing board and the other end rests in a big metal bowl on the ground Stubbs sets pails of berries on the ironing board and pours them into the top end of the cleaner Leaves and stems fall through to the ground and the clean berries roll down into the bowl He cut the screen off the refrigerator and used a bolt cutter to cut out every other “rib” on both sides then bent the screen’s edges upward to make 6-in high sides He attached a board to the upper end of the chute with an angled metal plate that he pours berries onto for cleaning “It works like magic I pour berries on top of the screen and they come out clean ” says Stubbs “The pail I pour berries out of will often be green with leaves but the bowl at the bottom of the cleaner will be entirely blue with no leaves ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Sidney Stubbs RR 1 Site 6 P O Box 21 Beaverlodge Alta Canada T0H 0C0 ph 780 354-3112
