Get Grain Screens Custom-Made

Get Grain Screens Custom-Made Allis-Chalmers All-Crop 60s haven’t been produced in over 75 years, but you can still find grain screens for one at Quality Custom Screen Company (QCSC). According to a customer testimonial, they made it new for less than the price of a used one. The Michigan-based company has the dimensions for most grain cleaners on file and can create any type of screen. If you can provide the design and dimensions, they can custom-make it. “We’re known for making custom screens for a lot of different equipment across the ag market,” says Daniel Kelly, Quality Custom Screen Company. “Everything we do is agricultural. We get more requests every year for All-Crop screens. We punch them and then have someone bend them up for us. We can take care of people using All-Crops.” QCSC takes care of a lot of other folks, too, adds Kelly. “Our background was in flat screens,” he says. “The two owners used to work for a company that makes air screen cleaners. They also sold screens made by another company, had to cut them up and piece them together. They thought there had to be a better idea.” The problem was that the companies that punched out the screens only sold them in bulk. QCSC perforates its own screens to match the customer’s needs. They can make just one screen or 100. Kelly admits that making 100 will take a bit more time, but not much. “If you know the size you need, we can give you a quote,” says Kelly. “If it’s an air screen cleaner, we can look up the model number to get the size.” Submitting a picture via text or email can help with a custom order, adds Kelly. “A lot of time that lets me know right off the bat if we can do the job or not,” he says. “If we can’t, we’ll refer them to someone who can.” The company can even produce screens for drum-type cleaners. “We can perforate the large sheets that go around the drum,” says Kelly. “However, they’re often used with woven wire. Then we’ll refer them to others. It can cost $1,500 for the screen, and the cleaner was only $500.” QCSC does most of its business in the U.S., but it also does business in Canada. He mentions that some customers in Texas ship quite a few of QCSC’s screens to Mexico. “We also have 12 by 12-in. screens people use for sampling commodities, as well as tiny flour and vegetable seed,” says Kelly. “We’ve shipped them to South America and Hawaii for use with coffee beans.” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Quality Custom Screen Company, 1951 Commercial Dr., Mount Pleasant, Mich. 48858 (ph 989-775-3594; daniel@qcscreen.com; www.qcscreen.com).
