BDC increases Aagaard Pre Cleaner range
New models have been added to the Aagaard range of aspiration pre cleaners which are available exclusively in the UK from BDC Systems . The range now features models with capacities from 40tph to 200tph .
B
DC Systems and Aagaard have worked closely together over the last 2-3 years to develop , re-design and test these heavy duty machines . This has resulted in more efficient cleaners , using less power for optimum separation .
The cleaners are made from 3 mm steel plate making them suitable for industrial applications . They are available both in a painted version and now hot dipped galvanized for outdoor applications .
Because Aagaard aspirators have a large diameter , the grain falling on the internal conical distribution rotor can spread the grain out more evenly and thinly . This allows the incoming air to more easily pass through it and lift the dust up and out of the cleaner more effectively . This is further aided by the air inlets being on the outer circumference of the unit . These design features ensure optimal cleaning of the grain without the need for additional drive motors .
Airflow can be controlled either by using a throttle valve or with an inverter controlling the fan speed which has the added benefit of reducing power consumption .
BDC Systems also offers a series of high efficiency grain cyclones specifically designed and sized for each of the aspirators in the series to give the optimal separation of the extracted dust with an extremely low pressuredrop .
These units are proving to be a very valuable piece of equipment , reducing the amount of light material in the sample prior to a drying system and raising bushel weights from low density crops . In some cases omitting the need for a screen cleaner .
