- MAIZE CLEANING SOLUTION
DEGERMINATOR
The Degerminator removes the germ portion from maize grains, reducing oil content and enhancing the shelf life and stability of the final product.
Efficient Germ Separation
Precisely removes germ portion for reduced oil content.
Improved Shelf Life
Enhances product stability and helps prevent rancidity.
Reliable & Consistent
Robust design for uniform performance, low maintenance and long service life.
WHAT IT DOES?
Reduces Oil Content
Removes germ portion which contains high oil, resulting in lower oil content in the grits and flour.
Improves Product Stability
Lower oil content enhances shelf life and reduces the risk of rancidity in the final product.
Enhances Milling Quality
Delivers better quality grits and flour with improved color, texture and processing performance.
HOW IT WORKS?
MAIZE INLET
Clean maize from the previous stage enters the degerminator.
ABRASION & SEPARATION
Maize grains are gently abraded between rotor and stator surfaces, loosening the germ from the kernel.
GERM SEPARATION
Loosened germ is separated from the kernel by air flow and screen action.
GERM OUTLET
Separated germ is collected and discharged through the germ outlet.
CLEAN KERNEL OUTLET
Degermed maize kernels are discharged for the next milling stage.
