High-throughput grain cleaner
Maximize efficiency in grain processing with a high-throughput cleaner designed to handle diverse applications, streamlining cleaning and sifting operations with minimal energy consumption.
The Vega High-Throughput Grain Cleaner MTVA from Bühler Group is engineered to enhance the efficiency of your processing line by specializing in cleaning, sifting, and separating various grains such as wheat, corn, and rice. This versatile equipment is capable of processing up to 100 tons per hour, making it an ideal solution for food and feed industries requiring high-speed operations. It operates on the principle of a multi-stage aspirator and gravity separation system, allowing the recycling of 80% of used air to significantly reduce energy consumption by up to 50%.
Designed for seamless integration, the MTVA supports both free-standing and ceiling-suspended configurations, facilitating easy installation in diverse production environments. With its user-friendly design, you can quickly change sieve screens and access the screen stack from both sides, minimizing downtime during maintenance. Additionally, the machine is constructed with low-wear materials to withstand abrasive grains, ensuring durability.
For enhanced grain quality, it can be paired with an air-recycling gravity separator to remove low-density particles efficiently. Tailored to meet your specific processing requirements, this equipment ensures product quality while providing substantial energy savings, making it a valuable asset in modern agricultural and milling operations.
