Cleaning is one of the essential process steps for a wide range of businesses operating at intake points and milling and malting plants. Buhler has unveiled the next generation of its TAS grain cleaning system, the TAS LAAC.
With the new TAS LAAC, operators have all the controls at their fingertips wherever they are in the mill and reception points, meaning adjustments can be made with ease to optimize settings at changeovers.
With the introduction of sensors, the machine is ready to connect to digital services offering condition monitoring for maximum uptime and deep analyses for improved yields.
The new generation is fitted with a package of sensors for a multitude of functions and a user-friendly display incorporated on the machine.
The main benefit of the new machine control is that operators can change settings digitally. Considering the amount of time spent on monitoring and adjusting machinery to maintain the optimum running of the plant, this is more than mere convenience – it’s a whole new level of efficiency.
The system is also ready to be connected to the optional Bühler Insights digital service,
which provides for tracking KPIs, such as the condition of the main bearings and the setting of aspiration flaps.
Advanced machine condition monitoring detects critical thresholds and reduces the risk of unplanned downtime significantly.
The TAS series is available in nine different installation sizes and can cover a very large capacity range, from 20 t/h up to a maximum of 250 t/h (for wheat cleaning). If you have specific construction requirements it’s also possible to split the aspiration and the screen box (TS+AS) creating a variety of possibilities.
Intake cleaning
The following four types of machine in the TAS series are especially recommended for an effective preliminary and main cleaning of grain and other bulk materials: TAS 152A-2, TAS 154A-4, TAS 204A-4 and TAS 206A-6.
The ratio of the preliminary and main sieve area is the same for all four types. The pre-screen area is particularly crucial for the use as a pre-cleaner as well as for rapeseed cleaning, whereas sufficient main-screen area is important for precise cleaning into 1st and 2nd grade.
