CALIBRATION OF MILLET

Millet — is one of the main food crops that is actively used for the production of cereal products.

Experts consider that in recent times one of the major problems of millet market is quality of grain products.

With the support of LLC „Eurotel“ Federal State Budgetary Institution „Volga State Zonal Machinery Testing Station“ (Russia) on the threshing-floor of LLC «Sato M» of Bezenchyuk district of Samara region of Russia carried out tests of aerodynamic separator CAD on preliminary, primary and other modes of millet grain cleaning. Samples of the initial material were substandard and had different levels of grain quality and its degree of contamination.

Research showed the following results:

Preliminary cleaning of millet on separator CAD allowed to upgrade part of the seeds from non-class to II class.

Primary cleaning of millet on separator CAD allows to obtain grain of I and II class.

FSI „Volga machinery testing station“ found that separator CAD provides high-quality grain cleaning at all stages of production and recommends to install the separator on grain and seed production.
