Polish Seed Cleaner Finds U.S. Distributor

Polish Seed Cleaner Finds U S Distributor CLEANING EQUIPMENT In the fall of 2015 FARM SHOW wrote about the Polish-built Sosnowski Grain Seed Cleaners Friendly Meadows in Ohio is now the North American distributor   The Sosnowski grain cleaning machines are unique because they use centrifugal force for the separating action Unlike the complex process of seed cleaning machines that use screens the operation of the Sosnowski machine is very simple and user friendly with only two controls: air flow and grain flow These two adjustments determine the cleaning action A central diffusing element inside the cleaning tube is also key and improves the cleaning quality to almost twice that of most other similar machines on the market This machine has very few moving parts: just the fan blade attached directly to the motor shaft These machines will clean many kinds of seed including barley spelt rye wheat oats corn soybeans rape seed peas dry beans nuts etc   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 even the same grain from different areas of a field It all depends on soil fertility and plant health For this reason finding the correct screens for a screen machine may vary from year to year or even from different areas of the same field In screen cleaners screens need to be removed and cleaned regularly to maintain consistency even those which feature knockers and ball & rack systems With no screens to clean it is hard to beat the consistency of the Sosnowski machines   When the motor is engaged on the Sosnowski machine it activates centrifugal force to separate light impurities along with undesireable malnourished light or cracked seeds which are often infected with fungus A farmer in Canada increased the value of a 6 000 bushel crop of wheat by over $24 000 when he used this machine to remove the undesirables from his crop Small size augers manufactured by the same company have become part of the distribution business too Farmers who purchased a cleaner requested hard-to-find small augers to convey seed to and from the cleaners These augers are unique in that they feature interchangeable screens located along the bottom side of the auger tube These will take out fines and light seeds as the grain is being moved Augers are mounted on small wheels and are very easy to move   The Sosnowski cleaners and augers are run by single phase 110-volt motors The electrical system is certified to the UL and CSA standards for the U S and Canada Currently there are 18 patents in use for these machines Inventory is stocked for 3 sizes of the Sosnowski machine that will clean 330 730 and 1 500 bu/hr Larger models need to be special ordered The 3” augers come in 13’ and 21’ lengths Additional information is found on the website at: friendlymeadowsoh com   Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Friendly Meadows 6523 Township Rd 346 Millersburg Ohio 44654 ph 330-473-7647
