Rotary cleaner screens

T-Nason · Oct 13, 2021

I purchased a rotary grain cleaner this year to help clean my grain before storing it. Anyway, what size screen would you use for soybeans and what could I purchase that would work? Looks like its just a type of wire or mesh fencing?

Nothing first hand here, but here is a post with some info from another forum.

Does it have 2 sceens an inner and outer. Those will help with getting the pods out and then the fines out. Common hardware cloth is what most use. 1/8 inch is a bit fine for beans. they also figure by the squares per inch for mesh coarseness. I would say the inner wants to be about 1/2 inch holes and the outer about 1/8-1/4,depending on the size of the beans. Don't get in a hurry with it. Slower flow of grain cleans better. I usually take about 750 bu per hour with good results cleaning. Flatter setting on the drum will clean better than more slope. Longer the grain is in the drum the cleaner it will get.

It has only one screen with baffles on the inside. I have a screen box I use for pods. Trying to get weed seed mainly!
