Hi

Does anyone know of a source of expertise in seed size separation? e.g books, websites etc

I want to separate large volumes of spherical macadamia nuts on their diameter

some possibilities are;

trommel - fast

V sluice (dry) - slow

vibrating table - inefficient for round objects?

Thanks

Not sure how much these will help, there is a 10 vol book set called Separation Science.

Is this trommel the right size??
