Flat screens are used to size corn seed into sizes separated by width and thickness. By combining these screens into modular machines, multiple sizes can be made inside each machine. By combining several modular machines, two to eight sizes or more can be made in the assembled system. The modular machines have divider pans and multiple collection pans; this creates the flexibility of the system by having different seed flows and number of seed sizes. The movement of the seed across the flat screens is very gentle and reduces mechanical damage to the seed. Assembly of the screens layers and how they are used in the flow of seed is unique.
