Growing grain is fairly easy; but separating the chaff from the usable grain, not so much.
———
This item in our collection is called a Fanning Mill, and it was a mechanized way to separate the chaff, dust, weed, and seeds from the grain, also called “winnowing”.
———
A fan would blow the grain and chaff across vibrating screens, thus the name “Fanning Mill”, while the shaking movement of the sieves and screens cleaned the grain. Top sieves catch the courser material. The grain is then further cleaned when it passes through the finer mesh screens below, which can be changed to suit the grain being cleaned.
———
While still a process, it was easier than previous methods of using the wind to winnow grains, when grain was manually thrown into the air so the chaff would blow away while heavier grain fell to the ground.
