Is this a new companion crop like Peaola....? Parley maybe..?

Yes ,I Googled “Companion Cropping Peas”and some interesting info came up.
Even though it is in German a very good video on Companion Cropping Peas and beans, is well worth watching “from beginning to end”.I am not a farmer but combined about 70ha’s of very flat peas last year.In the 21st century there must be a way to hold peas up!!!!!
Cursed flea beetle eats the OSR if planted as companion crop.

either would work , but gravity may struggle due to both crops should run on different mesh decks …. due to the shapes I would think you could sieve clean them apart .. it would be faster

Sieve cleaner should sort them out. Be quicker and cheaper!

Sieves. Are CYO, Evans and Pearce or any of the other seed dressers members in here?

Agrii have a colour separator on at least one of their machines. - if that is what is needed.

If your crop is heading Lancashire direction, we have just finished putting in a new colour sorter. Had a sieve cleaner for a couple of years so now with both cleaners we can sort most grain problems. Contact me on 07576 759850.

screen cleaner should d the bulk of it - separator would work as they are different specific weights, but cheaper and probably quicker to screen it. If your doing it on a yearly basis, maybe worth buying a cheap screen cleaner....... good winter workshop project.

We have a 9 chute satake that will do 30 tonne an hour here. Good colour difference so will be fairly easy. The difficulty is stones from peas the same colour but we have proved its possible. www.lfpearceandson.co.uk
