All Shook Up.
Some grain handlers start out testing grain for foreign material (FM) or dockage by using hand sieves. Because of possible inconsistent shaking of the sieves or simply the nature of the method, they discover that not all of the FM/Dockage is determined. Meanwhile, that incorrect determination becomes the basis for the entire monetary settlement.
A Fair Shake.
Consider the MCi Kicker/AutoKicker. Not only do these machines make it more fair for you, but also for your customers. The Kicker doesn’t play favorites!
It treats everyone to the same accurate results, time after time for years to come.
The Kicker for Accurate Testing.
The MCi Kicker and AutoKicker are sophisticated devices designed with precision-controlled screens and aspiration to accurately remove FM/Dockage and Broken/Splits from the grain. They produce a fair and consistent result every time that is virtually impossible with hand sieves. It has been reported by our many satisfied customers that the MCi Kicker and AutoKicker are able to determine an average FM/Dockage increase of up to 2% or more, depending on the type of “trash” in the load that is missed by other methods or equipment.
Amounts to a Hill of Beans.
Most grain handlers have a certain level of FM/Dockage allowed in the truck/rail load. Commonly for soybeans (for instance), only the FM/Dockage over 1% is deducted from net weight. This means you are paying for undetermined amounts at the same price as the grain itself.
EXAMPLE OF SAVINGS:
Say you allow 1% FM/Dockage before discounting the load.
If it is 1% using hand sieves, then that load would not qualify for the discount. Since the MCi Kicker/AutoKicker is more accurate, it determines an FM/Dockage value of 1.3%, qualifying that same load for the discount. The captured .3% is a very conservative number, as reported. Most Kicker/AutoKicker users commonly see an even higher FM/Dockage value difference, depending on the grain quality. Let’s do the math: If you captured .3% FM/Dockage @ $12.50/bushel on a 1,000 bushel load, it would amount to $37.50. Multiply that times 200 loads and see how quickly it will pay for itself. Bring on the profit!
MCi Kicker Description
The MCi Kicker is designed to provide a fast, accurate and consistent way of obtaining the following fractions from grain: shrunk & broken, overs or scalpings, clean grain, broken grain, fines (thru’s) or malt and barley sizes. The MCi Kicker can generate these fractions in approximately 30-45 seconds, depending on the sample size. These fractions can then be weighed and calculated to provide you with the correct Dockage and SB/Broken. Most of the FM that is present in your grain sample will be removed. Other FM will need to be hand picked, but the amount to hand pick through is drastically reduced, compared to other methods.
The MCi Kicker simply requires the operator to start the system with the throw of a switch, input a sample into the machine, and wait approximately 30-45 seconds. During the short wait, all the different fractions are separated and delivered to the separated fraction retrieval pans for your inspection and usage.
The MCi Kicker has proven that it can save much valuable labor time, which allows a much higher flow through traffic at your scale. The MCi Kicker also provides very accurate and consistent results that eliminate any questioning of hand pan results.
Some of the most important features of the MCi Kicker, and backed up by its users, are quietness, cleanliness, and integrated sieve cleaning system. The MCi Kicker operates so quietly and cleanly you don’t have to stop what you are doing in the room, like take phone calls, talk to customers, etc. Due to the aspirated dust collection system, it will not produce excessive grain dust that covers your desk and counter tops. Due to the integrated sieve cleaning system, the MCi Kicker continually works consistently every time, as well as virtually eliminating the need for removing and cleaning the sieves.
The MCi Kicker has received very good reviews with wheat, edible bean, soybean, barley, as well as many more grain applications, and can help you to tremendously increase your grain handling abilities.
