Construction And Function.

01. FEEDING DEVICE
A hopper (with or without
supporting legs) and an 01
electromagnetic vibrating feeder
and a cascade enable product
to flow consistently under all
operating conditions.

02. RECTANGULAR DECK WITH

MAXIMISER
Enables a longer product retention
time than a triangular shaped deck.
Much smaller ”middling” fraction
due to the integrated maximizer
and therefore better product
quality.

 05. SEGMENTED DISCHARGE GATES
· Quickly adjust all product discharges
in heavy/middlings/lights to

02 separation results.
· Total product flow can be directed
to middlings discharge during
machine start-up, so quality is not
03 compromised
· A stone trap removes heavy
stones without the loss of good
products.

04. STRATIFICATION PINS

Fixed on the deck in the
stratification zone to achieve a
faster separation of the particle
mixture to fall or rise by their weight

03. DECK COVER

· Square wire overcovers are used for all
decks
· Gives more traction to separate faster
· Ensures more capacity per square
meter of deck area, with better
separation results

Principles of Operation

The product processed by the Gravity Separator is separated into layers with different specific
weight according to the ”fluid bed” principle. The fluid bed is built up due to the linear motion of
the eccentric drive and the air, which is blown through the wire mesh or textile cloth.
This separation gives a spectrum from light to heavy material. Due to the conveying system and
the inclination of the deck the light material in the top layer moves down to the low side and heavy
material in the bottom layer moves up to the high side of the deck.

The machines perform with a very
accurate split between weight
ranges, with a minimal mixing zone
(e.g. rape seed 5% mixing zone).

Cimbria’s Patented
Eccentric Drive

Every gravity table is equipped with a Cimbria’s

patented eccentric drive, which is counterbalanced
to increase the machine stability. It minimizes the
need for special supports or foundation to reduce
installation and maintenance costs.

Products Applications.
Gravity separators can be used for multiple purposes. For seed cleaning, to remove damaged products,
shells and immature or low germinations, and for commercial cleaning, to improve the quality of wheat,
rye and barley and many other products. They find applications in the industrial sector too.
Some applications are listed here below.

· grown-out, damaged cereals, wild oat, weed, small kernels, etc.

· barley and wheat if the size is the same
· plastic granulates
· soft and hard bones for gelatine production
· copper and insulation of cut wire
· broken cocoa beans from cocoa germs
· cocoa grom shells
· apricot pips from shell parts
· herbs from sticks, earth and other impurities
· spices from sticks, shells and other impurities
· green coffee beans from unshelled beans (cherries), splits and ears
· tea into different qualities
· ergot from rye
· nuts (hazel nuts, peanuts, almonds etc.) from shells, sticks and other
impurities

Quality Control.
During the manufacturing process, each machine as well as its components must pass
several strict quality controls to meet our customers’ requirements at the highest level.
Before dispatch, a final quality control process following a sophisticated checklist is carried
out, rounded of by a 24-hour test run. We can thus guarantee that each machine is ready to
operate at the customer’s site very quickly and without any surprises.
