eve (MKZM) machine is an ideal pre-cleaning machine for Rice, Wheat, Soybeans, Corn, and Pulses. The machine is manufactured at its modern facility in Bangalore.
The drum sieve, which is patented technology of Buhler can be applied in many different ways for pre-cleaning material. It is successfully used in the reception of granular, mealy and floury bulk materials in the grain mill, bulk storage system and other plants in the food processing and feed processing industries. The drum sieve separates course impurities such as piece of straw, bag tapes, paper, pieces of wood and corn (Maize) leaves and cobs, etc. This protects downstream processing and conveying equipment from malfunctions and damage, Sujith Pande, deputy manager, business development, Buhler told F&B News.
The product is rugged and the overhung screening drum is divided into an inlet and an outlet cylinder, made of sheet steel and provided with holes ranging from 10 to 60 mm. The screening drum has a self cleaning process as it is additionally supported by a scraper brush. All components are installed inside an enclosed housing that is equipped with an aspiration connection.
It is high versatility and easy-to-maintain. The material to be screened is fed through the inlet channel to the inside of the screening drum and turned over. The grain drops through the screen perforations and the coarse impurities are directed to the outlet by a guide screw which ensures reliable separation of the course impurities.
The machine was introduced in early 2007 in India and has shown an excellent response from Flour miller's/rice millers and multi grain cleaning units, stated Pande.
The machine is for international market as well. It is proven and well established equipment for the global flour milling industry.
