Grain scourer for wheat, durum, and rye
Enhance grain processing by efficiently removing impurities like dust, sand, and soil, ensuring improved hygiene and surface treatment before milling.

Removes Impurities from Grains and Food Products
The Scourer MHXS from Bühler Group is designed for grain milling and food processing, effectively addressing challenges of impurity removal from a wide range of grains and food products. Utilizing a robust rotor and sieve jacket system, it operates continuously to enhance hygiene by eliminating dust, sand, and soil. Ideal for processing wheat, oats, rye, and pulses, it supports production of high-quality end-products like flour and pasta. With throughputs ranging from 15 to 30 metric tons per hour, it offers efficient integration into existing lines. The compact design allows for minimal space usage, while optional aspiration systems enhance impurity removal. Built with energy-efficient components, the MHXS supports stringent food safety standards and offers low maintenance with easy-to-access parts.
