Abstract: Process and apparatus for separating grain mixture, e.g. for separating heavy inclusions, such as stones (28), from grain product, in which the product is guided via an inclined oscillating layering table surface, through which air flows, so as to be substantially layered and the layering air is guided as recycle air, wherein the recycle air used for the layering of the product is guided through separate guides for the inlet and outlet air, and the guides are oscillated jointly with the layering table surface.

Abstract: The apparatus comprises a stator (1) and a rotor (3) rotatably supported in a stator housing (2) with a processing space (9) therebetween. The stator housing (2) and rotor (3) are fitted with knobs on their mutually facing sides in the region of the processing space (9) where the corn is processed. Work elements (8, 13, 21) with knobs are positioned in approximation of a circle at the stator housing (2) and at the rotor (3). The inside of the stator housing is divided in the cirucmferential direction into siftings segments (21, 22) with sieve holes provided in an alternating manner with knob segments. The stator housing (2) includes at least two detachable housing wall parts (14, 15) making the processing space (9) easily accessible in the event of operational disturbance therein.

Abstract: A size grading unit and a gravity grading unit in a grinding preparation installation form an oscillating unit and are arranged one above the other so that a V-shaped space exists between them. The product flow transfers as a carpet or veil falling from the size grading unit at the V apex to the gravity grading unit located below. Air flows through the V-shaped space but not through the size grading unit.

Abstract: In the case of an apparatus for cleaning grits, which has a plurality of superimposed screen layers, which can be vibrated by means of at least one unbalance exciter and with an inlet or outlet for the product inlet or screen discharge arranged at one end, collecting means with adjustable setting flaps for the screenings, as well as an air circulation through the screen layers over an air distribution chamber in a suction collecting channel adjustable by means of adjusting flaps, it is provided that the apparatus is constructed as a stand with a stand head, a stand base and a vertical intermediate support connecting said two parts, the screen layers being constructed as a dust box and being vibratably supported in the vicinity of the stand base, the stand top being formed by the upper air distribution chamber.

Abstract: For dressing, seed is thrown off in dispensed doses into a trough-shaped rotary table (36) in the form of a free-falling annular veil. During its freefall, the seed is guided through a jet of dressing in the form of an annular surface, which is thrown outwards from the interior of the annular veil and which is generated when dressing is thrown out via a centrifugal plate (36), and is wetted with dressing. During the subsequent throwing out on the rotary table (9), the seed is subjected again to dressing which is finely distributed on and massaged into the grain surface because the seed grains roll on the rotary table (9) continuously and at the same time strike against one another and rub on one another.

Abstract: In an apparatus for separating heavy material, more particularly stones, from cereals and other bulk goods, two superposed inclined vibrating tables (1, 2) are provided which have the same air flowing through them and a common drive (30), a product inlet (6) being provided at the top table (2). The bottom table (1) is constructed as a stone separating table and the top vibrating table is constructed throughout as a layering table and only its bottom end has a short zone (11) for the layer concentrated in heavy material to drop through and a discharge (19) to the bottom vibrating table (1). The discharge (19) is directed towards a central zone (B) of the bottom table (1). The material charged to the top vibrating table (2) via the product inlet (6) is layered thereon over its entire length and 20% to 80% of the flow of material containing the heavy material are withdrawn at its lower end and then discarded on to the middle zone (B) of the bottom table (1) in the form of a curtain to act as a material supply.

Abstract: Whole grain kernels are admitted through an inlet at one end of a closed tubular vessel, and are entrained by a blade-type rotor in the presence of metered quantities of liquid, being accelerated so that they form in the vessel a whirling tubular veil which continuously travels lengthwise of the vessel towards an outlet thereof and wherein each kernel becomes uniformly wetted over its entire surface and moistened to a predetermined value.
