Winnowers

Winnowers What is a Winnower? A winnower is a machine that works on the principle of air flow to separate lighter impurities from heavier grains. When grains are poured into the machine, a controlled stream of air blows away lighter materials while the heavier grains fall separately. This process helps in cleaning grains like wheat, paddy, maize, and pulses efficiently. ⚙️ Types of Winnowers 1. Manual Winnower:Operated by hand, suitable for small-scale farms and traditional farming areas. 2. Pedal Operated Winnower:Works with foot operation and is more efficient than manual winnowing. 3. Power Operated Winnower:Runs on an engine or motor and can clean large quantities of grain quickly. 4. Combined Winnower and Cleaner:A modern type that performs both cleaning and winnowing in one process for better efficiency. 🌾 Benefits of Winnowers Separate grains from husk and dust effectively. Improve the purity and quality of grains. Save time and labor compared to traditional winnowing methods. Reduce post-harvest losses and increase productivity. Prepare grains for safe storage or further processing.
