With the Evans/MacTavish Counterflow, you get a threshed tobacco separator that's user-proven to be the most efficient type on the market!
* Entry to the separation chamber with an inlet winnower that throws the tobacco across the chamber
* Tobacco is thrown back across the chamber again with a secondary winnower
* Uses vertical air flow through a perforated apron to remove the lights through the discharge hood, while the heavies float on the apron and are carried to the discharge
* A perforated metal slab belt eliminates tracking problems, bird nesting, and minimizes maintenance
* Low power consumption
* Variable-speed winnower motors
* Remote-controlled air flow
* Lighted chamber with see-through doors
* Simple incorporation into existing threshing lines
* Adaptability for secondary operations such as scrap cleaning
* Easy stacking, for two separations in minimum space
* The Counterflow is usually loaded and unloaded with Evans/MacTavish Pneumatic Screening Separators
* Separators up to 5' (1524mm) each use one fan; those 6' (1829mm) and wider use two fans each
* Heavies can be removed several ways: straight discharge, rotary airlock discharge, or a venturi connected to take-away ducting
