Maintenance and cleaning
26 | 40 Operating instructions Sortimat | Edition 1
7.8.1 Examples for using the correction table
1. The amount that falls through the 2.5 mm sieve is 10 %. The moisture of the sample is 19 %. According
to the correction table, the value obtained (10 %) must be multiplied by the factor 1.28:
10.0 x 1.28 = 12.8 %
2. With a moisture content of 13 %, the amount that falls through the 2.5 and 2.2 mm sieves is 12.4 %.
The multiplier is 0.90; i. e. 12.4 x 0.90 = 11.16 % in relation to 14.5 % moisture.
3. When the grain is delivered at harvest time, sorting results in a value of 9.8 % dockage. The moisture
content of the sample in question is 22 %. When the barley is dried to 14.5 % moisture content, the
grains shrink in volume and the dockage is 14.7 % instead of 9.8 %.
