MAIZE DEGERMER/HULLER

MAIZE DEGERMER/HULLER - VH4500
Capacity – up to 4500kg/hr
Low oil content in maize grits
Low level of residual bran
High recovery rate of grits
Low power requirement
relative to output
Model Vertical Maize
Degermer
APPLICATION/OPERATION:
The Vertical Maize Degermer/Huller, model VH4500 has
been specifically developed for the removal of germ and
bran from maize grains.
Maize must be preconditioned (humidifying) over a
brief period so that bran and germ have been softened.
In the Degermer/Huller the grains pass upwards through
an internal chamber, where the action of the rotor
mechanism promotes friction between the grains,
breaking them and detaching the skins and germ from
the pieces of maize endosperm (large maize grits). A
pneumatic system separates the germ/bran from the
grits – these by-products are then available for further
processing (animal feed, oil, etc.).
SPECIFICATION:
Vertical hulling chamber with internal components in
stainless steel. Precision engineered breaking rotor
with surrounding screen. Screw feeder with variable
speed control via inverter. Overload protection system
allowing machine performance to be optimized.
Ventilating fan. Base plate for machine and main drive
motor. Drive motors: 55 kW, 3 kW and 1.1 kW.

MAIZE DEGERMER/HULLER HH2000 + HH800
Capacity – up to 2000kg/hr
Low oil content in maize grits
Low level of residual bran
High recovery rate of grits
APPLICATION/ OPERATION:
The Horizontal Maize Degermer/Hullers, models
HH2000 & HH800 have been specifically developed for
the removal of germ and bran from maize grains.
Maize must be preconditioned (humidifying)
over a brief period so that bran and germ have been
softened. In the Degermer/Huller the grains pass
through an internal chamber, where the action of the
rotor mechanism promotes friction between the grains,
breaking them and detaching the skins and germ from
the pieces of maize endosperm (large maize grits). A
pneumatic system separates the germ/bran from the
grits – these by-products are then available for further
processing (animal feed, oil, etc.)
SPECIFICATION:
Horizontal hulling chamber with precision engineered
breaking rotor with surrounding screen. Self-standing,
compact design with enclosed drive. Drive motor:
HH2000: 45 kW HH800: 22 kW
CONTINUOUS CONDITIONING
SYSTEM
Stainless steel construction
Precision controlled
dampening
Thorough mixing action
APPLICATION/OPERATION:
The Continuous Conditioning System modifies the
initial moisture of the maize grains before hulling,
allowing carefully controlled degrees of water
absorption over a short time; reaching the germ and
the hull; without increasing moisture levels in the
maize endosperm. A choice of models complements
the Alvan Blanch range of maize degermer/hullers.
SPECIFICATION:
Inclined stainless steel mixing chamber with
removable access panels, motorised mixing paddle,
driven via reduction gearbox, creates optimum
homogenization and water absorption. Water pump
with tank. Control panel allows precision control
of product feed rate and water application – with
monitoring sensors. Drive motor: CC4500: 5.5 kW,
CC2000: 2.2 kW, CC800: 1.1kW.
