Length Graders

CRIPPEN INDENTED CYLINDER LENGTH GRADER

The Crippen Indented Cylinder Length Grader is extremely accurate. To determine separations of product by product length, the Crippen Length Grader simply lifts the shorter product out of the longer product of the main product flow that enters the cylinder intake end. These machines can be stacked in to multiple banks to achieve any desired capacity, most commonly from 100 to 2000 Bu/hr (2.7 to 55 MTPH).

These machines can be arranged in a “Series Flow” or “Parallel Flow” arrangement. The “Series Flow” is arranged to make multiple separations of an incoming product flow in a common bank of cylinders. A common example would be removing both small weed seeds and long trash or wild oats from a good wheat product flow. The “Parallel Flow” arrangement is simply multiple cylinders in a common bank performing the same product separation, such as removing short or cross-broken kernels from a good long-kernel rice product flow. The Crippen Indented Cylinder Separator is an ideal machine to have in the processing of any product that has a difference in product lengths.

APPLICATIONS

APPLICATIONS FOR THE CRIPPEN S1 AND S1-QC

Hybrid Corn Plants

The Crippen length grader is exceptionally efficient at separating hybrid seed into various lengths. The special features of the Crippen machines result in greater accuracy. Various height arrangements may be set to re-run either the liftings or the rejects.

Rice Mills

The Crippen machine is used in rice mills to grade clean rice. The cylinders may be installed in banks of various heights to obtain all the necessary separations for grades from extra fancy to brewers. The machines may also be furnished with indent cylinders to lift shelled or clean rice from paddy rice in rough cleaning in seed warehouses.

Flour Mills

The Crippen S1 and S1-QC is recommended for use in all flour mills. Installed in banks of various heights, the Crippens obtain optimum separations and capacities. They may be used particularly to reclean wheat from oat tailings from other equipment.

Oat Cereal Plants

The Crippen graders can be equipped with indent cylinders to separate oats into various lengths, removing the pin oats before the products go to the hullers. They can be supplied in many height arrangements.

Grass Seed Processors

The Crippen length graders are extremely popular in the world for removing longs and shorts from good grass seed. Again, through the use of varying height arrangements, proper sizing can be done efficiently and easily.

Sunflower Processors

In the Sunflower Industry, the Crippen S-1 is used to remove unwanted long trash such as sticks and stems. The Crippen model is used by many processors to achieve the highest standards in quality cleaned sunflower products today.
