How Dehulling Lines work

Intensive peeling and scouring of the grain is a process to increase the value of the grain. The purpose is to remove the husk and possibly the outer layers of the grain. It is possible to dehull by peeling, with knives, impact dehulling or with the help of other technologies using heat, water, chemicals, etc.

The reason for acquiring dehulling technology is a direct increase in the added value of the commodity, and thus achieving a higher selling price of the final product. Another reason is to include this technology before further processing of the commodity in the food or feed production line. An example is the use of dehulling in an oatmeal production line or in an oil pressing line, where peeling can affect both the quality of the oil itself and in particular the quality of the press cake, which are an important raw material for further feed processing.

Peeled crops can be cereals, oilseeds, legumes, but also other technical or exotic crops.
