Maize degerminator is applicable for taking the germ and bran out of the
maize, at the same time polishing the maize/maize gritz,get pure white /yellow maize meal,maize grits,maize samp, and is characteristic of high volume of production, compact structure and convenient maintenance, thus making it an ideal equipment for maize processing in the modern age.
Degerminator
It s used for the de-hulling of maize processing lines. The stock enters the machine from the bottom and gets discharged from the top. The uniformity of de-hulling is high; several machines in a series can save the elevators. The combination of air jetting and suction is advantageous for bran and germ discharging and reduces the chance of a jam. The air suction cylinder has no residue inside.
In the flow chart, the Degerminator is after in the step of cleaning and watering
The material falls onto the guide plate from inlet and cover evenly on the entire width of the upper sieve due to the vibratory action of the machine. The combined action of the vibration and air flow make the material on the upper sieve classified automatically according to its specific gravity and granular size. Light material become overtails of the upper sieve and discharged out of the machine from the machine tail. More light material like straw and dust is taken away from aspiration outlet.Heavy material together with stones and sand falls onto the lower sieve through the upper sieve. As the action of the machine vibration, air flow and friction, the heavy material moves towards the tail of the machine and discharged from the tail outlet while sand and stones move towards the head of the machine and discharged from the stone outlet. Through the observation windows, operator can directly observe the effect of classifying and de-stoning.
