High quality Metra grain cleaners, color sorters

Farmers in North America are mainly using machinery for harvesting their crop like wheat, corn and soybean. The price they get for their produce depends to a large extent on the purity of the grain, where there are stones, or other seeds mixed in the grain. If there are many impurities in the grain, the farmer will be paid less, and this will reduce the profit significantly. Hence to overcome the problem the Metra group, one of the most reputed European suppliers of farm equipment is now offer a wide range of farm equipment for cleaning the grain, so that it is easily separated based on the quality and grade of the grain.


Though the Metra group started selling its farm equipment in the United States in 2014 through distributors, it was only in 2019, that it actually started manufacturing the equipment in North America. The company is collaborating with a local company to manufacture a wide range of grain cleaners, color sorters and other farming equipment based on the requirement of the farmers. The local collaboration also ensures that the equipment is available quickly at a lower cost. For farmers who cannot afford to purchase the farming equipment, it also offers finance including loans.

The Grain Cleaner is separating grain into different grades based on the density of the harvested material. The cleaner uses air jet stream technology to clean a wide variety of grains like Wheat, Chia, Corn, Lentil, Soybean, Hemp, Poppy, Lucerne, Oats, barley, maize, peas, beans, sunflower. The grains having similar quality will come together in the grain cleaner so that it can be easily separated and sold. Any stones, pebbles, dirt in the grain, will form a separate layer which can be easily discarded. This method also allows the farmer to remove any grain which is damaged by insects, fungus and immature grain.Another advantage of using the grain cleaner is that it is possible to remove grain which is affected by ergot, vomitoxin, fusarium and aflatoxin.

 In some cases, the grain may be mixed with other grains having a similar density like hemp and morning glory, or the grain may be diseased. In this case, it is advisable to use the Metra color sorter to separate the seeds of different types or those which may be diseased. The color sorter is using the latest technology to ensure that it is easy to use and the different types of grains are separated properly. Compared to other color sorters which use an industrial computer, the color sorter is using a tablet. The multi color LED lighting, high speed control system and multi-billion pixel camera also ensures that the sorting is of better quality.

The grain cleaning and color sorting machines are available in different capacities to suit the requirement and budget of farmers whose farm size and output will vary. Farmers who are interested in getting more information about these machines should contact Metra at Tel 1 800 272 2045 . The Metra staff will be pleased to help the farmer find suitable farm equipment to improve the quality of the output and profit.
