We're here to help you get the most out of your grain cleaning equipment. At KPIC, we focus on educating our clients about the essential steps needed to maximize the lifespan and efficiency of their grain cleaners.

Importance of Grain Cleaner Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your grain cleaner is crucial to ensuring consistent operation. Over time, components such as cylinder cleaners, rotary cleaners, aspirators and scalpers experience wear and tear. If left unchecked, minor issues can escalate into breakdowns that halt your operations. A well-maintained machine reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns and helps avoid costly downtime.

Asset Health Check  

We provide an asset health check to assess the condition of your grain cleaning equipment. This involves thoroughly inspecting key components, including mechanical and wear areas, to identify any issues needing attention. After the inspection, KPIC delivers a detailed report on the health of your equipment. If necessary, a proposal for repair or replacement of any questionable or broken components is provided.

Operator Training and Consulting Services

To ensure your grain cleaner operates efficiently, your operators must be well-trained. We offer operator training and education services to help your staff understand the theory of grain cleaning, the purpose of removing dockage and the specific functions of equipment. This is followed by hands-on training, where operators learn how to adjust equipment in real time.

Best Practices for Grain Cleaner Operation

Preventative maintenance plays a crucial role in maximizing the lifespan and efficiency of your grain cleaner. Operators must remain vigilant, adopting a "look, listen and feel" approach. Regularly checking for signs of wear, unusual noises or vibrations can identify potential issues before they escalate into major problems. This proactive maintenance can prevent breakdowns, reduce the need for extensive repairs and overhauls, and keep your operations running smoothly.
