The Clipper Eclipse 324 is the first in a line of small cleaners designed to meet the low maintenance and easy cleanout needs of modern seedsman. The Eclipse is built with the same care and craftsmanship as Clipper's larger precision cleaners.
The Clipper Eclipse 324 features a heavy duty tubular steel frame, 13-ply marine grade plywood shoes, scotch ply hangers and a heavy duty eccentric shoe drive.
Screens
The Eclipse 324 shoe has been designed with three 24-1/2" x 22-1/4" screens: one screen for the top and the other two for lower separation. Over 175 different sizes of perforated metal or wire cloth screens are available.
Eclipse 324 Commodity Flow
The commodity is fed to the hopper and is spread evenly across the full width of the top screen . The product then moves across the top screen, which has openings larger than the product itself. The large foreign material is "scalped" off while the good product falls through the screen.
The bottom two screens are set up for split flow sifting. The bottom screen openings must be smaller than the commodity being cleaned. Trash, weed seeds and splits drop through the bottom screens while the good product passes over them. The bottom two screens can also be set up as a scalp/sift flow by removing the two way splitter.
Next, the product is routed through a column of air from the bottom blast fan. This blast of air effectively removes any lightweight trash and dust that may have remained after screening.
Good, clean product is discharged at the bottom of the air chamber.
