Will those machines get the seed 99% clean like they want it?
I've got a Clipper 2-b, and if you run it with the correct screens and slow enough it will do a very good job. Some grains you may want to run it through twice. Here's the thing though: SLOW. If you're going to run all of your production through a 2-b and you're bushels to be cleaned run in the 1,000's, you're going to be tending that mill a very, very long time. Think oats at @ 30 bu./hr. and beans at 60 bu./hr. and everything else in between.
If you've got a separate way to "scalp" of most of the trash before it hits the top screen of the mill, that will speed it up some. Got to remember those screens are only 28"x26" or so. That's not a lot of cleaning area to shake that grain across. |
