Preface:

This users manual has been prepared in accord-

Directive).

Marking:

See enclosed Declaration of Conformity.

Description:

KDC 8000 is a combined screen- and aspiration 

cleaner, designed for separation of grain and 

impurities. The rotating screens are driven by an 

electrical gear motor, and the cleaned crop can be 

conveyed by the aspirator to a transport system. 

The impurities are blown away together with the 

aspirator air, and should be separated through a 

cyclone and collected.

The cleaner can be equipped with screens 

containing different hole sizes, depending on the 

nature of the crop.

Capacity varies depending on the crop to be pro-

cessed, up to 80 tonnes per hour in easy floating 

crop, depending on the requirements towards purity 

of the crop.

The cleaner is primarily designed to be used for 

pre cleaning of grain, corn, canola, sun flower 

and beans from larger and smaller impurities. 

Furthermore, the cleaner can be used for grading of 

malting barley.

The cleaner should be feed continuously.

Typical application:

The combi cleaner has been designed for the pre-

cleaning of wheat, barley, rye, oats, rapeseed, 

maize, peas, soybeans and sunflower for larger and 

minor impurities.

Warning notes:

•  Take care that all guards are in correct position 

and fixed during operation.

•  Always stop the combi cleaner prior to repair 

and maintenance and avoid unintentional start of 

the combi cleaner. Lock e.g. the on/off switch on 

the built in control box or install a safety switch 

mounted in the electrical installations to avoid 

unintentional start of the cleaner.

•  Only turn the screen drum manually when re-

placing the screens. Never turn the screen drum 

by switching on the gear motor, when replacing 

the screens. 

•  Use always gloves when replacing screens. The 

screens may have sharp edges.

•  Never put the hand in the outlet of the trough 

auger.

•  Never leave the outlet open, while the cleaner is 

in operation. Connect the outlet to a container or 

to a min. 800 mm long OK200 pipe, to prevent 

access to the rotating parts.

•  Never put your hand into the inlet or outlet open-

ing of the blower during operation.

•  All electrical installations must be effected ac-

cording to the current legislation.

•  In case of abnormal vibrations or noise, stop the 

cleaner immediately and investigate. If in doubt, 

call in expert assistance for repair and mainte

-

nance.

•  Mount the cleaner on a solid and plane base, to 

avoid the cleaner tipping over.

•  If the cleaner is to be moved, use the four lift-

ing points in the corners (marked with the chain 

symbol) or use a forklift or the like grabbing in 

the rails under the base frame of the cleaner 

at the indicated points. The forks must be long 

enough to lift in both sides of the cleaner.

instructions given in the manual and on the warning 

signs placed on the cleaner.
