Seed & Grain Indented Cylinder Separators
ADDAMS indented cylinder separators, also called trieurs, separate suitable seed and grain mixtures by length. Pockets inside a rotating cylinder lift selected particles into a collection trough, while the other fraction follows a separate discharge path. The cylinder configuration and settings must match the crop and the short or long material to be separated.

Selecting an Indented Cylinder Separator
Review the ADDAMS ICS Series Indented Cylinder Separator for product information. Confirm pocket selection, cylinder arrangement, trough adjustment, drive, installation space and model-specific working capacity. Representative crop and impurity samples help establish the required configuration.
Related ADDAMS Separation Stages
Fine screen seed cleaners can prepare material by size and air behaviour. De-stoners address suitable heavy impurities, and gravity separators target suitable density differences. These stages complement length separation; determine the sequence from the material and required finished-product specification.
Length Separation Questions
How does a trieur differ from a screen cleaner?
Screening primarily selects material using screen openings, while an indented cylinder uses pockets and a collection trough to select suitable particles by length. Length separation can be useful where unwanted particles overlap the crop in width or thickness.
Can one pocket configuration handle every crop?
No. Select the pocket configuration and operating settings for the crop, variety and unwanted fraction. Confirm any changeover parts and procedures for the proposed model.
Does the machine guarantee removal of every broken grain or weed seed?
No. Separation depends on how clearly the particles differ in length, the feed condition and machine settings. Use trials to measure retained-product quality, reject composition and good-product loss against agreed acceptance criteria.
What should be included in the quotation brief?
Provide the crop, required throughput, representative samples, short and long impurity types, target quality, available space and surrounding equipment. Confirm access for inspection, cleaning and maintenance. Contact ADDAMS to discuss the application.
