Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. is proud to introduce its Legume Gravity Separator, engineered for precise density-based separation of a wide range of legume crops, including beans, lentils, and peas. Designed to enhance product purity and yield, this machine leverages adjustable deck inclination, stroke frequency, and controlled airflow to differentiate healthy legumes from underdeveloped, broken, or foreign-material-laden particles.
Operating Principle
The Legume Gravity Separator functions on the principle that particles of different densities will stratify when subjected to a combination of vibration and air flow. Raw legumes are evenly distributed across a gently oscillating deck. As the deck vibrates, heavier, denser seeds migrate downward, while lighter impurities and broken pieces remain near the deck’s surface and are carried away by a calibrated air stream. By adjusting the deck’s slope and vibration frequency, operators can fine-tune separation to match the physical properties of specific legume varieties.
Key Features
Adjustable Airflow Control: A variable-speed fan provides precise regulation of air volume, ensuring effective removal of light impurities without disturbing the healthy seeds.
Variable Deck Stroke and Angle: Handwheels and calibrated scales allow the deck’s motion and incline to be modified to suit pulse size and density.
Modular Deck Surfaces: Interchangeable deck mats accommodate legumes of differing shapes and sizes, from small lentils to larger broad beans.
Sturdy Construction: Heavy-gauge steel frame and corrosion-resistant finishes support continuous operation in industrial environments.
User-Friendly Interface: A simple control panel monitors fan speed, deck vibration rates, and feed distribution for consistent results.
Applications and Benefits
Legume processors using this gravity separator achieve marked improvements in purity, often removing 90–95% of small stones, shriveled seeds, and dust particles in a single pass. Enhanced purity supports higher market grades, better cooking performance for food-grade beans, and greater germination rates for seed-lot applications. The ability to adapt the machine to various legume types makes it a versatile asset for multi-crop facilities.
Maintenance and Support
Routine maintenance involves inspecting and replacing deck mats, lubricating bearings, and checking fan belts. Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. offers comprehensive spare-parts kits and preventative-maintenance contracts, along with on-site commissioning and operator-training services to minimize downtime and extend the life of the equipment.
