OverviewThe Vitaris combicleaner MTKC is a combined separator and combistoner designed for grain cleaning in intake and pre-processing lines. It removes coarse, fine and light impurities while splitting the product stream into heavy and mixed fractions, enabling downstream milling and storage preparation.
Key benefits- Low installation costs: machines are delivered pre-wired for connection to a single central point, reducing cabling time and installation expense.
- Energy savings: recirculated-air operation and frequency converters can reduce energy use by up to 15%; recirculated-air operation may require up to 90% less air than fresh-air operation.
- Modular design: flexible module combinations allow solutions tailored to specific plant layouts and cleaning requirements.
Highlight features- Combined functionality: integrates separator and combistoner functions in one unit to perform simultaneous coarse, fine and light-impurity removal and fraction separation.
- Food-grade construction: stainless-steel sieves and FDA-approved plastics in product contact zones; avoidance of nails, felt or plush to maintain hygienic conditions.
- Easy maintenance: quick-clamp sieve system for fast, reliable insertion and removal of sieves during product changeovers and servicing.
Related systems and digital integration- Mercury MES: web-based mill automation platform with graphical dashboards, IoT connectivity and access from phone, tablet or PC for process monitoring and production data integration.
- Pluto PCS: process control system for simpler process management and intuitive operation.

Application possibilitiesTypical use cases include intake, pre-cleaning and cleaning of wheat and other cereals prior to storage and milling; suitable for mills seeking integrated separation and de-stoning in a compact layout.
Process chain — how Vitaris fits into production- Intake and pre-cleaning: removes foreign material before storage, protecting downstream equipment and ensuring hygienic conditions.
- Cleaning and conditioning: first-stage removal of seeds, stones and metals; conditioning and secondary cleaning to remove surface impurities and harmful contaminants.
- Milling: prepares grain for grinding and granulation steps to produce flour, semolina and related products.
- Blending and packaging: supports storage in silos and subsequent bagging or bulk loading, and can integrate with manual or automated packing lines.
Technical characteristics / specifications- Function: combined separator and combistoner for coarse, fine and light impurity removal and heavy/mixed fraction separation.
- Model example: Vitaris combicleaner MTKC.
- Design: modular, compatible with air-recycling aspirators and air-recycling aspiration channels.
- Hygiene: stainless-steel sieves; FDA-approved plastics; design avoids nails, felt and plush in product zones.
- Maintenance: quick-clamp sieve system for rapid sieve exchange.
- Energy/air efficiency: recirculated-air operation reduces fresh-air needs (up to 90% less) and may cut energy use by up to 15% when combined with frequency converters.
- Installation: pre-wired machines for single-point connection to reduce onsite work and cost.
- Typical application: wheat and cereal cleaning in milling process chains (intake → pre-cleaning → cleaning/conditioning → milling → blending/packing).
