M^cKINNON Dustless Closed Circuit Catadors are used for fine separation of heavy beans from light beans. They also separate dust, shells, immature beans, stones and extraneous matter from green coffee through suitable adjustments in operating speeds and air quantities. They are particularly suitable for removing beans which have been attacked by insects, or discolored beans which are generally lighter than the fully matured beans. By nature of their closed air circuit, these catadors ensure a dust free operation and help in preserving the factory environment.

   Catadors are used after Hullers and Smout Peeler Polishers to remove husk and light coffee. They are also used after grading for secondary catadoring of light beans and triage. The coffee is fed into an air current where separation is carried out by density differences and the light matter is carried up and exited via the lights outlet. The heavy beans fall on a wire screen and exit through the front of the machine.

   The machine is equipped with an electric motor platform and a shaft extension to suit Electric motor drive or can be supplied to suit a Diesel Engine drive.
