Barley Grain Cleaner

Barley Grain Cleaner

The Barley Grain Cleaner from Hebei Julite Sorting Technology Co., Ltd. is engineered to prepare barley for brewing, food, and feed applications. By combining mechanical sieving, aspiration, and density separation, this machine ensures removal of impurities and defective kernels.

Cleaning Stages

1. Coarse Sieving
   Incoming barley flows over a vibratory screen that removes chaff, straw pieces, and oversized debris. Interchangeable screens accommodate malting-grade and feed-grade barley.

2. Aspirator Section
   An aspirator directs airflow through the barley bed, lifting dust, fine husk fragments, and light debris. Operators adjust air volume and deck angle to match barley moisture content and impurity levels.

3. Destoning and Density Separation
   A destoner module separates stones and heavy foreign objects via calibrated vibration and airflow. The process protects barley kernels and downstream equipment.

4. Magnetic Separation
   A permanent-magnet head removes any metal fragments, ensuring grain safety and preserving mill components.

5. Fine Grading Sieves
   Multi-deck screening units sort barley into defined size fractions, critical for consistent malting performance or uniform feed formulations.

6. Optional Optical Sorting
   For premium malting barley, an optical sorter identifies discolored or damaged kernels, ejecting them to ensure a uniform lot.

Design Features

• Food-Grade Construction: Stainless-steel contact surfaces and sanitary welds enable thorough cleaning and compliance with brewery hygiene standards.

• Flexible Configuration: Modules can be combined or bypassed to match feed, malting, or food processing requirements.

• User Interface: A PLC/HMI system displays throughput, reject levels, and machinery status; pre-set cleaning profiles streamline lot transitions.

• Durable Build: Reinforced frames and high-capacity vibratory motors support continuous high-throughput operation.

Operational Advantages

• Improved Batch Consistency: Thorough removal of light and heavy impurities enhances mash uniformity in brewing and reduces off-flavors.

• Reduced Breakage: Gentle vibratory action and precise airflow protect kernel integrity, maximizing extract yields.

• Energy-Efficient Performance: Airflow control and variable-frequency drives optimize power use relative to load.
