An air screen cleaner separates material on the basis of

  • A.Size and terminal velocity together
  • B.Length alone
  • C.Density alone
  • D.Colour and surface appearance

Answer: A

Correct answer: Size and terminal velocity together

An air screen cleaner combines two separations in one machine. The screens sort by size - a scalping deck removing what is larger than the grain and a grading deck removing what is smaller - while the aspiration section sorts by terminal velocity, lifting away chaff, dust and light immature grain.

Using both properties catches material that either alone would miss: a light seed of grain size passes every screen but is removed by the air, and a dense stone of grain size passes the air but not always the screen. Neither colour nor density alone is exploited here.
