Franken BV. - Agri & Seed division 
|
Franken has an extensive product range and a profound background in project engineering, together with most modern manufacturing and production facilities. A true combination of modern technology and traditional values, offering practical solutions and innovations to the users. |
Since 1892, Franken plays an active part in cleaning and processing of seed, grain and other bulk products in the food and feed sector. With the know-how in separation technology, Franken has achieved a leading position in the processing of seafood, especially the shellfish industry. The Agri & Seed sector as first and oldest specialisation remains however very important.Renowned for top quality products, Franken in Goes provides a wide product range from stand-alone machines up to automated turn-key projects. Together with our customers all over the world, Franken developed innovative technology and implemented it into machines and installations, leading to important improvements of capacity and quality in processing and production.
Nature products are never uniform .
The end user however has become ever more demanding, setting quality standards higher and higher. Franken does not supply a machine, but the right machine in a system that we implement together with the customer. This can be achieved with machines of Franken or with machines and equipment from our renowned partners and suppliers.

Grading / sizing:
New concept with inertia drive and counter balanced construction enables thorough and very precise grading / sizing of seed without any damage, even on soft pelleted seed. The units are used also for grain and other bulk product sizing.

Basic unit KBO 100-3.
Other machines from small lab size up to complete automated systems are available
Optimal precision with stepless (electronic) setting of all functions.
Frequency and amplitude of vibration are stepless and independent.
Alternate vibration sequence for better precision and cleaning of screens. with interval timer for optimal setting.
Screen clamp system guarantees a completely flat screen, with optimal flow and sizing capacity and precision.
The complete sieve booth is standing on flexible supports, resulting in very low vibration and no need to bolt down the frame.
Open construction for easy access and cleaning.

BS – 3 with feeder hopper. |
Belt / Band grader with horizontal drive
Improved results by horizontal belt drive, transverse to the inlet flow. Higher precision and capacity in screening are achieved in comparison to the traditional vertical type belt graders.
No interaction of sorting by incoming product, the seed from the inlet does not fall on top of the belt flow.
Separation into more fractions is achieved.
Capacity is roughly tripled compared to traditional system.
Plate above belt limits jumping of seed.
Additional options like remote control for settings available |
Other machines available from small lab size model up to high capacity multi–deck systems with remote control of settings.
Fluid type precision gravity / density grader |

VSG-04 fluid type density grader. |
Highest levels of specific weight grading are achieved in a process where seeds are separated on gravity in liquids with a constant determined density. The density of the fluids can be adapted steplessly to achieve close grading and reproducible settings. The implemented fluid is not toxic or aggressive to seed. The unit is equipped with a drying section to immediately dry the seed after the separation.
Seed quality and uniformity improvement.
Retrieving of valuable seed.
High upgrade levels in one operation.
Easy and exact reproduction of settings
Good results even with very small quantities.
Higher uniformity before priming / etc. |
