Flaxseed Wheat Cleaning Equipment

Flaxseed Wheat Cleaning Equipment

Flaxseed and wheat are two agricultural commodities that require precise and reliable cleaning processes before entering storage, processing, or export channels. Foreign matter, dust, stones, chaff, lightweight impurities, and damaged kernels can directly impact product value, milling performance, and food safety compliance. Flaxseed, in particular, is characterized by a small grain size, oily surface, and higher impurity ratios, while wheat presents a broader particle size range and variability based on growing regions. Because of these characteristics, equipment designed to process these two crops requires a robust mechanical structure, detailed air-screen separation, and stable continuous operation.

Flaxseed wheat cleaning equipment provided by Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. supports agricultural processors, seed companies, and grain handling facilities with a comprehensive solution for multi-stage cleaning. The equipment integrates air separation, screening, gravity separation, and in some configurations, magnetic removal stages to meet modern grain quality standards. The system is modular, enabling processors to configure the line according to impurity ratios, expected throughput, and final quality requirements.

A typical flaxseed and wheat cleaning line begins with pre-cleaning, which removes coarse materials and large debris to reduce wear on downstream machinery. The equipment employs oscillating screens or drum classifiers to perform preliminary separation. Flaxseed benefits significantly from steady material feeding, which prevents clogging and ensures smooth layering on screens. The feeding section can be equipped with flow monitoring components to maintain consistent throughput.

After pre-cleaning, the air-screen cleaning unit performs fine separation. Adjustable airflow channels remove lightweight impurities such as husks, dust, and partially broken kernels. For flaxseed, airflow control is essential because its density is lower compared to wheat, requiring precise tuning to avoid excessive product loss. The machine features adjustable air gates and multiple air columns that generate stable airflow during continuous operation.

In the screening stage, multiple-layer screens classify materials according to particle size. The equipment can be configured with several sieve layers to meet different processing needs—coarse screen, main screen, and undersize removal. Stainless steel or high-strength mesh is used to reduce contamination risks and maintain long service life. Screen cleaning devices help reduce manual maintenance requirements.

Gravity separation, when integrated into the system, provides an additional refinement step. Stones, glass particles, or high-density impurities are effectively removed using a fluidized bed and adjustable deck inclination. Flaxseed, due to its oil content, requires specialized deck surface materials to maintain stable movement and prevent adhesion.

Automated control systems, dust collection features, and optional storage hoppers enhance overall plant efficiency. Data monitoring and remote adjustment features enable operators to optimize processing parameters and maintain consistent product quality.

The flaxseed wheat cleaning equipment from Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. supports high-volume operations while remaining energy-efficient. Its modular design ensures scalability for processors seeking to expand capacity or integrate additional grain varieties.
