Abstract
A process and apparatus that allows a portion of a feed system to be cleaned quickly by sequentially closing a feed passageway which leads to a sieve section; rotation of the sieve section to an upside-down position to allow blocking clumps of particles to fall away via gravity and reopening the passageway leading to the sieve section to continue with normal operation.
