I know I read of this somewhere but I can't find anything in the searches.
Anyway, I've been experimenting with swapping the Sieve/Chaffer settings around in canola and have been impressed so far.
Rotor 400
Concave 30
Fan 1000
Chaffer 6
Sieve 13 (Far open as my 9870 will read. Employee on the 9860 can get to 18.)
The idea being that with the settings the "normal" way, the air has a hard time getting through and when it does, it tends to overload the tailings with threshed pods and canola.
By opening the sieve, the air can get up to keep the top material floating. Then adjust the chaffer til you are happy with your sample in the tank.
Tailings has dropped to only 1 or 2 bars on the sensor. When checking the tailings, there is still some threshed canola and pods, but way less than before.
We are running 1-2% dockage according to the elevator man.
Sensors are picking up almost nothing (sensitivity set at 10) going out the back and I can't find anything when I look - yeah I know...canola is hard to find normally!
Anyway, I know I read of this somewhere so wondering who else does this?
