Crippen Northland Superior continues to evolve by offering new and improved grain cleaning equipment for its global customer base. During the past few years, engineers at Crippen Manufacturing Company have been busy designing a new era of rotary screen machines offering great capacity, versatility and improved performance.
Working by means of rotary motion, the new NS Series rotary screen cleaners have the ability to remove both small and large foreign material from a vast variety of grains, oilseeds and pulse crops. The superior rotation speeds on the NS rotaries allow for a maximum presentation of screen surface to grain and, therefore, much higher capacities than possible from conventional screen separators. Depending on the model and application, capacities up to 12,000 bu/hr can be realized.
In nearly all cases, a rotary motion obtains the highest possible throughput of product per unit of screen area. As the particles travel down the sieve, the rotary motion allows for lateral, diagonal and longitudinal separation through varying screen openings and layers. With rotary action, the particles are exposed to a greater number of screen openings per pass, as compared with reciprocal motion.
By utilizing the latest available technology, Crippen Manufacturing Company has set a new standard in rotary screen separation. The NS Series of high-quality, rotary screen cleaners is truly today’s leader in capacity, versatility and performance.
Flow, Deck & Screen Combinations
There are two basic flow combinations for the new NS Series rotary screen cleaners: parallel flow for high-capacity applications, and counter flow for more precise separations where increased screen retention time is required. Out of these two basic flows are many variations of scalp/sift combinations that allow the NS Series of rotary screen cleaners the flexibility to meet all customer needs in capacity, reliability, economy and separation.

Model Code
Complementing the NS 88 & 120 Series rotaries, the P33 Series can provide either in-line resifting functionality with the P33 LS Series or multiple scalping functionality with the P33 TS Series. This additional functionality is achieved without compromising machine capacity. This new feature reduces traditional shrink associated with cleaning operations and also provides a “value-added” marketing opportunity. This feature also provides the ability to clean multiple commodities without having to change screens. This flexibility results in less down time. The P33 Series Rotary has become an important part of Northland’s innovative In-Line “value-added” grain processing philosophy.
