Modular Uniflow¶
The Carter Day Modular Uni-flow is a high-capacity, multiple-cylinder length separator engineered for precise grain cleaning, seed processing, and agricultural material separation. Designed to separate and classify grains and other free-flowing granular materials according to particle length, the Modular Uni-flow combines proven indented cylinder separation technology with a flexible, modular equipment design.
Using rotating cylinders with precision-engineered indented pockets, the Modular Uni-flow separates shorter particles from longer materials based on their physical characteristics. As material moves through the cylinders, shorter particles are lifted by the indents and separated from the longer material stream. A variety of cylinder indentation sizes are available to accommodate different grain types, particle lengths, and processing requirements.
The Carter Day Modular Uni-flow is designed for grain processors, seed cleaning operations, grain elevators, and agricultural processing facilities requiring consistent length grading and separation performance.
Flexible Modular Design for High-Capacity Grain Processing
The Modular Uni-flow grain length separator provides flexibility to accommodate a wide range of processing capacities and separation requirements. Its modular construction allows equipment configurations to be tailored to specific materials, production volumes, and desired separation results.
Vertical modules containing two to five indented cylinders can be configured for single-pass separation. For operations requiring additional processing capacity, multiple independent vertical modules can be combined into one machine configuration.
This modular approach allows processors to select equipment configurations suited to their applications while maintaining efficient material flow and dependable length separation.
Indented Cylinder Technology for Precision Length Separation
Carter Day’s indented cylinder separation technology is designed to classify grains and seeds based on differences in particle length. Unlike screening equipment that separates material primarily by size, indented cylinders provide length-based separation using precisely formed pockets in rotating cylinder surfaces.
This technology can be used in grain cleaning and seed processing applications where separating shorter and longer particles is an important part of achieving the desired finished product quality.
Available cylinder indentation sizes provide flexibility for different grain varieties and separation requirements.
Carter Day Indents and Segmented Cylinders
Carter Day manufactures precision indented cylinder shells and segmented cylinders for grain length grading and agricultural separation equipment.
The Carter Day Segmented Cylinder consists of three equal sections joined together by three solid bars attached to the ends of the cylinder assembly. This construction provides a durable cylinder configuration for length grading applications.
Carter Day precision sizing shells are used in grain processing equipment worldwide and are also sought after by other equipment manufacturers.
New Trunnion Inlet System with Split Seal
The Carter Day Seal Cone Trunnion Inlet System with Split Seal is designed to address material leakage challenges commonly associated with grain length grading machines.
The improved inlet sealing design helps minimize product leakage and provides additional sealing options for indented cylinder separators. This system supports reliable operation and helps maintain cleaner processing conditions.
