Bentall Rowlands provides an extensive selection of rotary drum grain cleaners, available with or without aspiration. These machines effectively eliminate light dust particles and separate high-quality grain from splits and debris. For cereals intended for long-term storage, the rotary drum cleaner with aspiration is particularly crucial as it prevents overheating caused by chaff, husks, split grains, and similar contaminants.

The product enters by gravity into a motorised roller distributor and is evenly distributed over its whole width; the subsequent curtain descent of cereal encounters a cross airflow, which carries away light impurities (decanted by a cyclone or filter) and deposits a part of the heavier particles in a decanting hopper, equipped with a screw for reject expulsion. The dust-free grain enters a cylindrical rotating drum with interchangeable perforated screens.
The first screen removes re–light impurities (and splits etc.), while the following screens allow the good grain to pass through pre-sized holes and the large impurities come out at the end of drum.
The choice of screen perforation size depends upon the cereal and the type of reject to separate out.
