1Introduction
1.1 Intended use
Sample cleaner MLN helps in determining the total dockage (German = Besatz) associated with grain crops
and grading the said crops. The cleaning process largely corresponds to that of a normal cleaning machine.
The proportion of impurities (coarse particles, fine particles, aspiration discharge), that of small grains and
that of quality grains can be determined with the help of a sample at the time of acceptance. This
facilitates the acceptance of quality grains and the targeted exclusion of batches that do not fulfil the
contractual conditions.
Sample cleaner MLN is designed as a portable machine with a power plug.
Private use of the machine is prohibited.
NOTICE This machine was designed solely for the aforementioned purpose.
Using it for any other purpose or modifying it without the written consent of the
manufacturer is not considered to be in compliance with the intended use. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for the resulting damage. Damage caused by such an
unintended use is at the sole risk of the operator.
The machine is allowed to be operated only if it is ensured that all the safety devices
are functional and the system in which this machine is installed complies with the EU
directives.
Cleaning flour, dust and grit is forbidden.
The samples to be used for the correct operation of the machine are provided by the
operator of sample cleaner MLN.
The operator bears sole responsibility for the proper handling of these materials and
the associated dangers.
Hazard notes and instructions for disposal must be provided by the operator.
The sample must be disposed of after the examination.
Intended use includes also the compliance with the Instruction Manual and User´s Guide as well as the
maintenance and servicing conditions, as specified in these Operating Instructions.
These Operating Instructions do not relieve the operating company of the obligation to develop and to
apply independent health and/or safety regulations or safe working processes which are aimed at the
requirements of the overall machine, as well as the obligation to monitor their compliance.

Installation and commissioning
Revision 3 | Operating instructions sample cleaner MLN
17 | 38
5Installation and commissioning
The chapter Installation and commissioning is intended for skilled personnel only.
5.1 Positioning of sample cleaner MLN
Unpack the sample cleaner MLN carefully (refer to chapter 4.4) and place it horizontally. Use a water
level for that.
Ensure a working height of approximately 60-65 cm, depending on the size of the operating personnel.
A correct horizontal positioning of the machine guarantees an even distribution of the
grains across the sieves.
Insert the sieves as described in chapter 7.4.
The magnitude of dust nuisance will increase during operation:
Pfeuffer GmbH recommends placing a suction hood over the air outlet of the cyclone.
The distance between the air outlet and the suction hood must be at least 400 mm so
that the aspiration effect is not affected.
CAUTION
Dust warning
Due to the nature of the samples, increased levels of dust particles and impurities (such
as harmful mycotoxins) may emerge in the vicinity of the sample cleaner MLN during
operation.
Check whether inhaling large quantities might lead to irritation or illnesses of the
respiratory passages, and if so then take appropriate measures.
Keep the control switch in the OFF position.
Insert the mains plug into a correctly-earthed socket with an earth conductor.
Check if all the components are firmly secured. Re-tighten all the screws and clamps.
The interfaces are depicted in chapter 2.2 of these Operating Instructions.
Activate the sample cleaner MLN keeping in mind all the specifications given in chapter 7.

Sample cleaner MLN helps in making stock-related determinations associated with grain crops and
grading the said crops.
After the sample has been weighed, pour it into the deawner when the deawner base is closed.
The machine starts when you close the cover of the filling container and switch the control switch to ON.
The deawner base automatically opens after a period of time specified on the potentiometer (freely
selectable between 0 and 80 s).
The light dirt such as dust is extracted by the aspiration process and deposited by the cyclone in the dust
collection bag.
The sample proceeds via the straw sieve that sifts larger impurities, after which it proceeds via the sand
sieve. Sand and small impurities such as weed seeds fall through the sand sieve.
The impurities, sand and weed seeds go into the front left collecting pan and the cleaned sample goes
into the front right collecting pan.
