Separation 

Preparation pan

The preparation pan is the first part of the cleaning system that the grain will come into 
contact with. It’s function is to separate the grain and the chaff. The grain is heavier and 
therefore goes to the bottom, the lighter chaff goes to the top. It is important that this 
is kept clean, to allow this to happen effectively. A dirty preparation pan will cause a 
poor sample and reduce output.

Fan

The speed is shown on the CEBIS screen. The 
speed range of the fan is 680rpm – 1600rpm. 
Adjustments are recommended at no more 
than 50rpm at a time. On all LEXION 600’s and 
LEXION 760 only, the position of the flaps in the 
ducting from the fan can be adjusted with the 
use of the pre-separation wind duct lever. The 
more grain on the sieves, the further back the 
lever needs to be. With high outputs in wheat it 
is not uncommon to use hole 7.
