Polish Seed Cleaner Finds U.S. Distributor
Miller says the Sosnowski machines are unique because they use centrifugal motion for the cleaning action. The machines will clean barley, spelt, rye, wheat, oats, corn, soybeans, rape seed, peas, dry beans, nuts, and all types of legumes and grasses. The cleaners have also been used for separating the stems and leaves of mint, removing leaves from frozen fruit, and separating small bits of wood and plastic from sand and bark.
“Controlling the quality of cleaning is different for each grain, and sometimes different for grain that comes from different areas of the same field,” Miller says. “Differences depend on soil fertility and plant health.”
Engaging the motor on a Sosnowski Cleaner activates centrifugal force to separate light impurities along with undesirable light seeds, including those that might be infected with fungus. The centrifugal speed determines the cleaning action. Miller says “the central diffusing element is the key to the Sosnowski units. It improves the cleaning quality to almost twice that of most other similar machines on the market. The machine has very few moving parts, essentially a fan attached directly to the motor.” Miller adds that “unlike the complex process of seed cleaning machines that use screens, the Sosnowski units are very simple and user-friendly. They have only 2 controls, air flow and grain flow.”
Sosnowski Cleaners are powered by a single phase 110-volt motor. The electrical system is certified to the UL and CSA standards for the U.S. and Canada. Miller says the smaller machine is preferred by farming operations while the larger models are geared to commercial applications.
The 250-bu. model is priced at $2,113, the 670-bu. model is $3,335, and the 1,400-bu./hr. model is $4,995. Larger commercial sizes are available but need to be special ordered.
