Grain color sorter

[John]

Is there or has anyone got a small Color sorter for on farm use as oppose to going to cam grain or someone similar?

Wondering if they are available.

Thanks I was really looking to see what a small one would cost or if anyone had one.

Did you find out about any prices @John ? Would be interested to know what sort of cost a small/used colour sorter would be.

No, did look atone at lamma but forgotten how much it was. Got Evans and Pearce in cost about £12/t did a first class job. Got a lot to do again this year although ergots not as bad

We tested 5 different color sorters. Price range from 45000-80000 eur.
All of them is good on separation beans, wheat, rye but when we come to small seeds ( clovers, phacelia ) then there is differences in machines - specially on kg/h!
We tried also some cheaper Chinese sorters- and they where good !!! Only when they come to Europe by dealers- they are only a bit cheaper than Italian or UK machines!

We run a satake 9 chute colour sorter will do 30 tonne an hour on easy sorting but less on more complicated crops. It will cost circa £10 a tonne to clean. Expensive fickle things. I would either take it to someone to clean then straight to destination which is what tends to happen with us or get a mobile in.

Speak to Satake at Manchester, they have some stock of older, used colour sorters that might fit the bill for you. Or you could send it to me to be cleaned. [emoji6]

Some can be run as a shape sorter as well
