Description
The ABC Hansen Egret is a grain pre-cleaner, with a capacity of between 25 and 40 tons per hour – and is used for the pre-cleaning of grain – normally before long term storage after harvest, or before marketing of product to ensure a high quality and highly graded product is delivered.

The Egret cleaner is a rotary type cleaner, with an inner large mesh screen, and an outer small mesh screen.
Grain in conveyed via the (included) Ø219mm auger, to the cleaners inlet chute, which discharges the grain onto the inner, large mesh screen, where large particles are removed, such as leaves, stalks and cobs. The remaining product is then discharged to the outer small mesh screen, where the smaller particles are removed, such as sand, stones, dust, broken and shriveCLNEGR40 – Cleaner Egretled kernels.
The good product flows over the outer screen, and is then discharged at the back of the cleaner, where it may be optionally aspirated as well, before being bagged/following the rest of the process flow.
All the trash is discharged to the belly of the cleaner, where it is collected by a counter directional auger, which brings all the trash to the centre of the cleaner’s belly, where it is again collected by an auger, which then discharges the trash to the side of the cleaner, at a height of 1000mm.
The capacity and efficiency of the cleaner is controlled by two variables- being the speed of the rotation of the drum, and the incline of the drum.
Higher inclines, and higher drum speed – will result in higher capacities, but lower efficiency, while lower drum speed, and lower incline will result in lower capacity and higher efficiency.
The speed of the drum is controlled by a variable speed/frequency drive, while the angle of the drum is set by adjusting the height of the front legs of the cleaner. Different products and different qualities will require different adjustments on speed and angle to achieve desired results.
The Egret cleaner is available in both mobile (on farm/in factory mobile only – no suspension is fitted to the cleaner) and stationary applications, and aspiration can also be fitted as an optional, to remove ambient dust when operating, for a more pleasant working environment, and also removing remnant dust and light particles from the grain at the exit point of the cleaner.
The cleaner is fitted with durable galvanized welded and woven mesh screens, for long life and precise hole sizes. The cleaner can be used for maize, soy beans, wheat, millet, mahangu, beans, barley, canola and most free flowing products.
Capacities of equipment is based on grain with a density of 721 kg/m³ density, maximum 14% moisture and maximum 4% impurities removal. Capacities can vary depending on the size of the screens, impurity content and type and type of product. All capacities on equipment is based on free flowing product with angles of repose not more than 30º
