DEGERMINATOR
“Degerminator is designed for the germ extraction process in maize (corn) milling, in order to eliminate the germ and bran from the low fat content endosperm.
It is generally used in the processing of ultra-refined maize flour, brewery and flaking maize grits and other refined maize products.
• Maize Mills
Maize either dry or after dampening, is fed into the degerminator from the top inlet. Then it is transferred to the processing part which consists of a horizontal rotor and steel plates inside a cylindrical metal sieve jacket. The maize is broken by intensive pushing and rubbing action while passing through those rotor fitted plates. Then the germ is separated and forced to move out of the perforations of surrounding sieve jacket, and collected at the outlet chamber.
The unit is connected to the central aspiration system where light particles are also collected, while by-products (germ, bran, etc.) are transferred to the related sifting passage for classification.
The degerminator has the setting opportunity for different final product proportion and specifications.
• Maximum efficiency
• Consistent product quality
• Robust design
• Easy maintenance
• Low energy consumption”
