Grain Cleaning

For over two decades, Turek Seed Wheat has trusted Grain Conditioning Inc. to keep our wheat seeds in top-notch shape. Robert Henry and his son Luke have been refining their portable conditioning machine since day one, making it the third generation in use. And let me tell you, this contraption is a marvel to behold.

First, the machine gets a thorough cleaning to prepare for the task ahead. Then, the system takes over, from an auger to a magnet to catch stray hardware, to a scalper that nabs any large debris. From there, it’s on to the aspirator to remove the lightest contaminants, before the length grader selects only the finest wheat.

Next, the seed goes to a screen cleaner to carefully grade by width, before a final aspirator blows out any missed debris. The machine is incredibly adjustable, with touchscreen controls and even remote access via cell phone.

Throughout the entire process, Luke keeps meticulous records of test weights, cleanings, and even collects samples of the conditioned seed at regular intervals. It’s all a celebration of the Fourth of July – a hot, dirty, and tiring family event that just begs for extra helpers. But with no takers yet, it looks like the best discounts are still reserved for those willing to lend a hand.
