Approximate Capacities of the

Newton Grain Cleaner

As you will notice there is quite a variation between the minimum and maximum cleaning capacities. The reason, it depends on what you are trying to remove and how much of it is present in the grain. However in most applications it runs in the upper 50% to 75% of the listed ranges. Some companies state there cleaners will run at a certain capacity which is the highest end of the range. They will but they are not doing much cleaning. Mid-Continent Industries is proud of the Newton cleaner and will not miss lead you with exaggerated claims of capacity.
