Low dockage grain can be cleaned in one pass through the cylinder machine. In high dockage grain, however, some small seeds and wild oats may be left in the cleaned grain. If so, the grain is elevated to a small garner and fed to a screen or another indent cylinder unit. This is referred to as "two-pass" cleaning because the grain must be re-elevated. 1, record 1, English, - two%2Dpass%20cleaning

Le grain contenant peu d'impuretés est habituellement nettoyé en une seule passe dans les trieurs cylindriques. Dans celui qui en contient beaucoup, il arrive qu'une faible proportion de petites graines étrangères et de folle avoine demeure. Dans ce cas, le grain est élevé jusqu'à une petite trémie et passe dans le séparateur ou dans d'autres trieurs cylindriques. Ce nettoyage est dit à deux passes, du fait que le grain doit être élevé une seconde fois. 1, record 1, French, - nettoyage%20dit%20%C3%A0%20deux%20passes

There are two main types of primary cleaners: indent cylinder machines and screen machines. Most indent cylinder machines are equipped with a scalper-aspirator which combines a rotating cylindrical wire mesh with an air stream which passes through the falling grain stream. The former removes large foreign material such as wood, large straws, etc. while the air stream removes dust, leaves and other light objects. Thus the grain is cleaned partially before it reaches the indent cylinders. 1, record 2, English, - indent%20cylinder%20machine
