Well, it s time to clean our seed. Just like a commercial elevator, our seed cleaning house has a dump pit where a truck unloads the seed. The conveyor brings the seed up from the pit and it is lifted to the cleaner, which is just to the left of this conveyor. This is the seed cleaner. The grain is dropped in at the top and passes over four screens to remove materials larger and smaller than the seed.
Air is blown through the seed to remove the light weight material.
