Operate an indent cylinder

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to operate an indent cylinder for cleaning or processing seed. It applies to the operation of indent cylinders for cleaning or processing commercial quantities of seed. Workers operate with some judgement and discretion and work would normally be carried out under minimal supervision within enterprise requirements and procedures.

It applies to individuals who take responsibility for their own work and for the quality of the work of others. They use discretion and judgement in the selection, allocation and use of available resources. All work is carried out to comply with workplace procedures.

No occupational licensing, legislative or certification requirements are known to apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
