Industrial pre-cleaners for raw material safeguarding
Effectively eliminate foreign objects from your raw materials with this advanced pre-cleaner, safeguarding your entire production line and minimizing damage to transport and process equipment while ensuring seamless, uninterrupted operations.

Separates and Purifies Bulk Raw Materials
The Ottevanger Pre-cleaner, featuring a durable rotary drum design, addresses essential cleaning needs in bulk material handling. Designed to separate foreign objects like stones and wood from raw inputs, it ensures high operational reliability for industries such as feed processing and grain milling. Its rotating drum, equipped with a 40×40 mm mesh screen, efficiently screens out unwanted materials, directing them to a secondary outlet, while the good material continues to subsequent processes. Operating at continuous throughput, it serves well in processing capacities up to several tons per hour, making it ideal for high-volume operations. It integrates seamlessly into existing lines, with optional dust aspiration and bypass control for cleaner air and operational versatility. Constructed with replaceable manganese steel wearing plates, it promises durability and reduced maintenance downtime. Additionally, its enclosed design minimizes dust emission, supporting a cleaner work environment. Customizable for varying operational needs, it offers engineering support for specialized applications.
