How
Do You Know What Clipper Model
Will Meet Your Needs?
Many different Clipper models are available for wide range of applications and we here at EBM will be pleased to assist you by providing both information and experience.
To select the Clipper best suitable for your application and to be in a position to compare some of Clipper's unique features, it is important for you to understand how an air-screen cleaner works, the various accessories and controls that are available but most important, the manner and rate at which the commodity being cleaned flows through the machine.
Evolutionary Change... Not Revolutionary!
The original Clipper machines were designed over 130 years ago. The reason a Clipper works so well is because it has been continually and carefully improved upon, year after year since 1869. Who else can make such a claim?
Craftsmanship You Will Be Proud To Own!
A Clipper is truly a beautiful piece of equipment. The craftsmanship is usually admired because most people just don't see it any more.
Of course, you don't buy a Clipper because of it's beauty-you buy it because of its performance.
Fifty Years Old And They Run Like New!
Throughout the years, Clipper cleaners have earned an enviable reputation for durability. We receive parts requests and ship parts daily for forty and fifty year old Clippers that are still operating. Many customers are still using the original machines but have updated them by adding new features such as ball trays and vibratory feed hoppers. The New Generation of Clipper cleaners live up to those same high standards synonymous with the Clipper name. The heavy duty 4" tubular steel frame designed to withstand vibration and to last just as its predecessors. The new open frame design offers much greater accessibility for maintenance and product observation.
The Nickel Test
Stand in front of a Clipper while it is operating and you won't believe a machine of this size can be so free of vibration. The secret is heavy-duty construction and counter balancing.
Counterbalancing is crucial to the smooth, vibration-free operation of the cleaner. Clipper counterbalances all air screen machines because they recognize the potential effects of vibration on the seed plant structure. Many machines are installed in older buildings on upper floors where vibration may be amplified and can, therefore, prove detrimental to the structure.
All Clipper cleaners are factory tested and held to very strict tolerances. No cleaner leaves the plant until the quality control manager and machine tester are satisfied that the Clipper standards have been met.
Although they use a vibration meter to test the side-to-side and the front-to-back vibrations, another good comparison that of balancing a nickel on edge, on the machine frame while it is running at full operating speed.
Designed To Shake Screens... Not The Cleaner!
Although Clipper cleaners are designed and built with counterbalanced shoes, it is possible for some vibration to occur. Excess vibration indicates an imbalance in a machine due to either inadequate maintenance or possibly a broken part.
