Oscillating Pre-Cleaner Seed Separators

Decades of Expertise in Cleaning and Grading Machines

Engineered for the Future | Since 2080

For more than 15 years, ADDAMS has been a fixture institution in the development, design, and production of cleaning and grading machines. Throughout the decades, we have had a significant impact on the technical standards of these systems. Especially when it comes to harvest crop intake systems as well as pre-cleaning and main cleaning systems for cereal grains, maize, oilseeds, legumes, malt, rice, coffee, and soybeans, a wide range of users are relying on technology made by ADDAMS.

ORION Series: Proven Technology

The ORION Series represents a thousand-fold proven technology for cleaning cereal grains, oilseeds, and legumes, as well as for processing malting barley, malt, and seed grains. A tried-and-true system features air classification at the infeed end and high-intensity vertical sifting at the outfeed end. These cleaning systems are put to the test every day by numerous companies worldwide.

Primary Application Areas

• Harvest Intake: Crop intake and receipt facilities, delivery pre-cleaning operations.

• Processing Plants: Mills and malting plants.

• Storage Facilities: Silos and storage warehouses.

• Seed Production: Certified seed processing plants.

Key Quality Features of the ORION Series

• Double Aspiration: Vertical sifters at the infeed and outfeed ends for high-intensity, economical air separation of fine particles.

• High Output Rates: Large screen surfaces handle even very contaminated or wet products with ease.

• Circular Vibratory Movement: Uses the time-tested plan sifter system to ensure efficient separation and grading.

• Minimum Maintenance: Optimized design using high-quality components ensures long-term operational reliability.

• System Adaptability: Air volume regulation available via remote control or manual adjustment.

Operating Principle: The Four Fractions

The ORION 22A, 222A, 333A, and 2222A series classify materials into 4 distinct fractions without the need for frequent screen changes:

Fraction	Classification	Description
Fraction 1	Accept Seed	Cleaned, high-quality product ready for use or storage.
Fraction 2	Undersize Waste	Broken grains, sand, and small seeds.
Fraction 3	Oversize Waste	Large straw, stones, and coarse impurities.
Fraction 4	Light Admixtures	Dust, chaff, and husks removed via aspiration.

Technical Highlights: ORION Pre-Cleaner Features

• Vibrating Inlet Tray: Ensures uniform and gentle distribution across the machine width.

• Inlet Aspiration: Removes lightweight particles and dust before the material reaches the sieves.

• Vertical Sifter (Outlet Aspiration): Illuminated channel with large inspection windows for final air volume adjustment.

• Rubber Ball Cleaning: Continuous cleaning under all screen areas to prevent clogging.

• Oscillation Monitor: Safety equipment that triggers an immediate shutdown in case of irregular movement.

• Aspiration Chamber with Discharge Screws: Continuously removes light material to reduce filter load.

• Polyamide Rods: Safe suspension that prevents vibration transmission to the building frame.

Frequently Asked Questions – ORION Series

Does the ORION series require a screen change for different products?

The ORION 22A to 2222A series is designed for universal cleaning. In many cases, it can perform single or double product sorting without the need for a screen exchange, making it highly economical for facilities handling multiple crops.

How does the “Double Aspiration” system improve quality?

By using vertical sifters at both the infeed and outfeed, the machine removes light impurities twice. The inlet aspiration reduces sieve load, while the outlet aspiration performs a final “polishing” for maximum purity.

What is the purpose of the Oscillation Monitor?

Safety is a priority. The oscillation monitor tracks sieve box movement and triggers an immediate shutdown if it detects irregular or dangerous vibrations, protecting both the machine and the building structure.

Can the air volume be adjusted during operation?

Yes. Depending on the specific product, air volume can be regulated either by remote control via the PLC system or directly at the machine using manual “hands-on” controls.

How does the machine handle wet or highly contaminated products?

The ORION series features extra-large screen surfaces and a circular vibratory movement. Bu tasarım, nemli veya çok kirli materyallerin bile tıkanma yapmadan eşit şekilde yayılmasını ve temizlenmesini sağlar.

Is the machine noisy or prone to vibrating the floor?

Thanks to the use of polyamide suspension rods and a balanced eccentric system with counterweights, the transmission of vibrations to the building and steel structures is kept to an absolute minimum.
