Has anyone had any experience with a marot grain pre cleaner good/bad any problems with them thanks

Yes we have a three screen rotary one , use the aspirator for all grain pre dryer, pre clean for anything, heavy clean slower for seed etc. You do need a fair selection of screens for different situations and they are about £700 each.

Thanks for replying!! We are looking for 1 just for pre cleaning the grain before the dryer so it would do the job OK
Looked at a Perry of Oakley ac30 pre cleaner as well its a lot more compact and would suit our system better not syr if it would do as good a job as the marot though

The aspirator alone takes out a lot of chaff and dust, if you need to take short straw or bean pods, bigger stuff from OSR etc you will need to use the screens.

We've got one. Useful bit of kit but not used very often as we've got a good aspirator that does most of it. It has less capacity than our elevators and it's not set up on the intake, only after the drier which is where it was designed to go. I'm allowed 2% admix so I don't want to shed too much weight from the sample! Last thing I used it for was cleaning straw out of osr where we had a big heap & the last lorry load was all pods where it separated out and slid to the back.
