Do the scour clean units on the older combines just remove the small fines, weed seeds, ect or do they also get rid of the bigger things like pieces of straw and threshed out heads? I sell my rye for seed and sometimes wonder if one would give me a cleaner sample? We do run it through a commercial cleaner anyway. Tom
 
I never ran it as I was too young. Dad had one on his 12A. I believe he had different screens for it. It was a single stage unit- meaning it only took out tiny stuff. I don't know that one was ever made which would take out big stuff also.
 
A combine it to get most of the trash out . If you want seed clean grain you need a mill to run it over with the specific screens for the grain you are cleaning. That is what we use ours for on Wheat.
 
You would be duplicating the process,grain cleaner mill, gets everything. We are going to start on the Rye, Wednesday,still 16% now.
 
we had a scourkleens on our self propelled allis 100 combine. screens were sized to crop harvested, anything smaller dropped thru the screen and on our combine was collected in burlap sacks. we would then burn all the weed seeds the scourkleenzs collected. really helped to keep the weeds down . heres a couple pics from the manual

the upside to the scourkleenz is you remove the majority of the weed seeds instead of blowing them out the back of the combine. water hemp, pigweed, curly dock and palmer amaranth to name a few.
 
Dad bought an early 55(flat head) JD when he started farming. Manual control header. Dad took something like a 40% dock for dirt on the first truck load. The next day there was a Scour Clean on that 55. The next combines had automatic header controls on them.
 
Never had one on my Allis-Chalmers 60, never was docked for foreign matter. My samples were cleaner than most others.
 
The cleaner we had on an SP125 was only able to remove cracked seed and weed seed after it was elevated to the grain tank. Anything that was still in the rear straw stream was sent out the back. Jim
 
I do my rye with an F3 gleaner. By taking a few minutes to fine tune the setting, I find that basicly all a fanning mill/ grain cleaner takes out is some dust. Always seed or sell bin run. There is sometimes a stray beard or bit of straw but not enough to cause any problems. Had a scour clean on my K gleaner, and it took out weed seed ok, I learned over the years that if you have enough weeds that you need a scour clean, you are much better off swathing it and getting the weeds dry
 
I believe we would use it to collect rag weed from oats.
Also when combining grass seed , it would do and excellent job of harvesting the birds foot trefoil.
I would not buy a combine without one .My preference cause I like the ability to harvest a lot of crops from sunflowers to grass seed
Only thing I can find in my price range , We got the AC 72 with scour cleaner .
I once made a scour cleaner screen for a Massey Harris 26 out of hardware store screen the worked excellent to remove dock .
Depends on what you need ,you can see all the options from other posts about screen choices.
Good post for information exchange
 
To answer your question, the scour clean will only remove trash smaller than the grain being combined with the correct sized screen. Straw and larger trash will still be in the bin.
