Clipper 2B Special Seed & Grain Cleaner

How a Clipper 2B Seed Cleaner works. I plan on using this to clean black oil sunflowers to sell as birdseed.

thanks for taking the time to put this up.

Nice! Do you have a table that names the different grains and what size screen (sieve) should be put in the clipper? Also…what size are the holes in the top screen, and what is their spacing? Thanks very much for your time.

One came with it but it was pretty far gone. I made a new one out of some thin 4” belting I got off EBay. I riveted some aluminum angles on it for grousers and coupled it with a belt lacing. Eventually I rigged up the bottom roller to be under spring tension to keep the belt at a constant tension. I found that seeds seem to eventually work under the belt and get stuck on the roller and kept binding things up. The spring tension worked well.

The seeds escaping is the reason why we put metal screen on each side of the cleaner's blower.

Good restoration job. How old is this machine?

I have a 2b special I'm restoring. Did your machine come with the elevator belt or did you make it? If so how did you make it or do you know where I can get one? Great Job on your restoration.

Reverse your electric motor and you won't need to twist the belts.

I have one of these but I need a new conveyor belt. Do you know where I can get one of these made?

I bought some belting material and made my own.
