WS Grain Cleaner Performance
Compact, Durable, Maintenance-Free
WS Grain Cleaning machines can be set up almost anywhere, cutting seed, herbicide, and transport costs while saving time reducing frustration. Their small footprint allows for permanent integration into grain handling systems, and they can also be mounted on trailers for mobility. The fan, the only moving part, is directly attached to the motor with no lubrication or spare parts needed. One company operated a WS cleaning machine 24/7 for two years with zero downtime and continued for another year at reduced hours. Operators with existing screen machines often use WS cleaners to pre-clean grain, speeding up the process by minimizing screen maintenance. For optimal operation, slower grain flow helps separate larger debris like thistle heads and stems, with efficiency also influenced by foreign material, moisture content, and standards.
â
The WS machines will clean many types of common grains such as barley, beans, corn, durum, hemp, lentils, maize, oats, peas, poppy, canola, rye, soybeans, spelt, sunflower, wheat and many more. After cleaning, the grain will be ready for storage, for planting or for grain burning furnaces. These grain cleaners have also been used for separating leaves from frozen fruit. Recycling and other industrial operations are using these machines to separate and size materials like plastics, glass, foam, wood chips, sand, etc.
ââ
We discovered that cleaning seed with a conventional grain cleaner is slow and costly. In 2015, spent over $16,000 on a well-known cleaner with multiple features, but still had to clean the screens frequently, leading to inefficiency. This resulted in cracked, thin, and diseased seeds remaining in the grain, posing a significant problem for farmers. After using a WS grain cleaner, we achieved much better results, with minimal undesirable seeds in the cleaned product.

The following pictures demonstrate this. Picture "1" is a close up of the already cleaned crop using a screen machine. After processing a ton of this grain through a WS Grain Cleaner, an additional feed sack full of undesirables was removed. The 3rd picture is the same dumped on a pile. The 4th picture marked as "1b" is a closeup of what's on the pile. The last picture marked with an "S" is the cleaned crop after running through a WS machine.

Choosing A Size To Match Your Need
The WS Grain Cleaner models are sized for the hobby farmer as well as large commercial operations and everyone in between. They come in capacities of 50 to 4500 bushels per hour.
â
Sizing a machine for your budget is easy with 8 model choices: 50, 100, 350, 750, 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500.
Results are the same with each model. Usually each of the models are in stock ready to ship unless sales are better than expected.
â
Beat The Rush
If you want a grain cleaner, don’t wait to make a purchase until you need it. Purchase yours before the rush so you have time to set it up and learn to operate it before you actually need it.
ââââââ
Do you need help deciding which WS model you need?
â
Consider these three criteria:
1. Quantity of grain to clean
2. Amount of time to clean it
3. Quality requirements
4. Running these machines at full capacity will remove most of the dockage. Operate at 50% of capacity or less if cleaning for food or seed.

Scalpers Will Finish The Job
â
Grain crops often contain large and heavy (high density) foreign material that needs to be separated from the good seed. As with all grain cleaners using just air to obtain separations, a scalper may be needed to finish removing the densest (largest, heaviest) trash pieces. The density of the very largest and heaviest pieces of foreign material may be too high and can resist the separating process. A scalper is an accessary that becomes necessary to use in conjunction with a WS Grain Cleaner and will finish the job to perfection.
Several custom operators who use a scalper with a WS Grain Cleaner call it the "perfect grain cleaning system" and use this combination to compete with other custom grain cleaning operators that use million dollar machines.
â
The scalper is made of all stainless steel, is 220V, and comes with one screen good for wheat, rye, and triticale. Other size screens are readily available.

The Sosnowski WS grain cleaning machine efficiently removes unwanted crop materials from quality grain using a high-speed centrifuge to create updraft. Grain enters from the top and descends through the cleaning tube, evenly distributed by finger spreaders for cleaning. Clean grain is collected at the bottom, while lighter materials exit through the exhaust, ensuring only top quality remains. No other machine matches the effectiveness of Sosnowski's WS. Farmers and grain mills everywhere can add value to their crops by using these grain cleaners.
