English term or phrase: Seed Cleaner cum Grader
Please, help me with the agricultural term translation. This is agricultural equipment intended for grain cleaning and sorting. Which variant is correct: “Seed Cleaner cum Grader” or “Air-operated Seed Sorting Machine” or “Air-operated Seed Separator”. I’d like to know the opinion of the native language speaker. Thank you in advance.

You have to remember the air blaster can't blast a seed unless something tells it which seed to blast off the sorter, so it has to have optical readings first before air is applied.
