Corn Cleaner Attaches To Pails And Barrels
The CornVac corn cleaner attaches tightly to a 5-gal. bucket, a 55-gal. drum, or any other sealed container. The device uses a 6.5 hp wet/dry vacuum to remove bees wings, chaff and dust from bulk corn. Other grains and fuel pellets can also be cleaned. A company spokesperson says the cleaner is ideal for removing foreign material from grain before it’s used for fuel.
    The corn cleaner works by attaching a shop vac to the top coupler and a corn transfer hose to the bottom coupler. The cleaning device is then attached to a sealed pail or container. When the vacuum is turned on, corn is transferred to the cleaner through a smooth hose and the smaller and lighter materials are pulled into the shop vac. The heavier material drops into the sealed container.
    The cleaning unit alone can be purchased for $75 or with a 5-gal. bucket for $88. A mobile unit for large quanity cleaning is priced at $499. A secondary tank with a cleaning head sells for $249 and includes a 25-gal. storage tank. The company also sells a U-build-it storage kit with instructions on how to build a storage container using wood framing and plywood. Shipping is extra on all products.
    Corn transfers about 45 lbs. a minute in a short run with no height lift. With a 4 to 5-ft. vertical rise the transfer rate is about 35 lbs. per minute. The mobile unit can clean and move corn 100 ft. or more using solid Grey schedule 40 pvc piping that connects directly to the cleaner.
