The frame configuration is such that it
supports the hopper, the blower and suspends the
sieve assembly as well as the drive unit. Plates 1 and
2 shows the front and the oblique view of the cereal
cleaner respectively. The hopper has a capacity of
3.55 x 10-2 m3. It is made of flat sheet folded into a
rectangular prism, tapering down at the base. The top
of the hopper measures 50 cm by 50 cm. A slide gate
mechanism was used for metering of grains into the
sieve assembly.
