Sunflower Seed Gravity Separator

Sunflower Seed Gravity Separator

Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. is proud to introduce its specialized Sunflower Seed Gravity Separator, engineered to meet the stringent requirements of commercial seed processors and oilseed mills. Utilizing precision gravity separation, this machine distinguishes sunflower seeds by weight and density, effectively removing broken kernels, foreign seeds, light impurities, and sand particles to yield a consistently high-quality product.

At the heart of the Sunflower Seed Gravity Separator is a vibration-driven deck and an adjustable air distribution system. As raw material is fed onto the inclined deck, oscillatory motion and air pressure cause heavier, intact seeds to settle into the lower deck zone, while lighter or damaged particles migrate toward the upper zones for removal. Deck angle, stroke length, and frequency can be fine-tuned to suit variations in seed size, moisture content, and crop origin, ensuring optimal separation under diverse processing conditions.

Key design elements include:

• Variable Deck Settings: Manual handwheels and calibrated scales allow the operator to adjust stroke amplitude (2–6 mm) and deck inclination (1°–5°) for precise separation.

• Uniform Airflow Manifold: A distribution plenum with multiple adjustable vanes delivers consistent airflow (0.3–1.8 m³/min) across the deck surface, preventing channeling and dead zones.

• Corrosion-resistant Materials: Stainless steel feed hopper and anodized aluminum frame components resist wear and corrosion from seed oils and fine dust.

• Modular Deck Mats: Interchangeable deck mats of varying mesh patterns accommodate fine dust removal or coarse separation as required.

• Safety and Dust Control: Enclosed aspirator fan and dust extraction port connect to external filtration, maintaining a clean work environment.

In field tests, processors reported that the Sunflower Seed Gravity Separator reduced dockage by up to 25%, while improving press cake uniformity and oil yield consistency. By removing light impurities and foreign seeds before milling or pressing, the equipment helps extend downstream filter life and reduce maintenance intervals.

Maintenance procedures are straightforward and include periodic cleaning of the air channels, inspection of deck mats and straps for wear, and lubrication of bearing assemblies. Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. provides a comprehensive spare parts kit and on-site commissioning support to ensure rapid installation and operator training.

Designed for throughput rates from 1 t/h up to 12 t/h, the Sunflower Seed Gravity Separator adapts to both small-scale seed processing facilities and large-capacity oilseed plants. Its combination of adjustable deck motion, precise airflow control, and robust construction makes it an effective tool for enhancing seed quality and maximizing operational efficiency.
