The product portfolio covers the entire area of grain quality control. The featured product is a newly designed Auto Sample Cleaner for dockage testing, sorting and weighing.
The automat weighs an initial sample of grain, starts up the cleaner, operating the de-awning, aspirates the dust and light material, carries out the sieving and automatically weighs the two fractions of small grain and quality grain. The automatic sample cleaner weighs the two fractions, calculates the percentages based on the initial weight and shows them on the display. The result consists of the cleaning loss (aspiration discharge, straw and sand sieve) and the quality grain and small grain proportions and can be transferred automatically to ERP/merchandise management system or to USB flash memory.Rüter Maschinenbau GmbH & Co.

Its patented vibration dampening technology — for capacities up to 50 tph — drastically reduces cereal and pulse tempering time. Minimal kW consumption, significant economies due to reduced building space, as well as less bacterial growth characterize the performance of this system.
The clean design and optimized vibration force allow up to 12% water addition in one pass. This scientifically proven method ensures an increase in total yield and bright flours. The German Federal Cereal Research Institute as well as machines in operation worldwide prove optimal temper times to be 2 to 4 hours for soft and 6 to 9 hours for hard wheat. A surplus of up to 1% total and up to 1.6% more yield on white flour was proven when using the optimal temper times. In feed processes, vibronet improves flake quality and increases gelatinization.
For easy online control, the patented vibronet dampener can be easily combined with the online moisture control and water dosage VIB-MMS, the continuous throughput control or scale VIB-TS/ VIB-SMW, and the online VIB-SMC temper time controlVIGAN is a leading manufacturer of ship loaders and unloaders, headquartered in Nivelles, Belgium.
