Hydrothermal kiln for oats and sorghum

Optimize your grain production with advanced enzyme inactivation and hydrothermal treatment, ensuring uniform, premium quality in every batch while maintaining energy efficiency and meeting stringent food safety standards.

Hydrothermally Treats and Conditions Grains

The Granotherm Kiln DNCB from Bühler Group is a modular hydrothermal treatment system designed for precise grain processing. It features a multi-section design with 2 to 8 heating sections and 1 to 3 cooling sections, adaptable to your desired throughput. The kiln’s stainless steel construction ensures durability and compliance with strict food safety standards, preventing residues and ensuring product purity. It processes grains such as oats and sorghum into end-products like oat flakes and sorghum flour while efficiently inactivating enzymes to prevent rancidity. The Granotherm Kiln is engineered for continuous operation with electronic cycle control for precise processing. Energy efficiency is enhanced through optimal insulation, reducing consumption. Cleaning is streamlined with easy-to-remove components and quick-access flaps, reducing downtime. Configurable to meet specific needs, it provides a reliable solution for food and feed industries committed to high-performance grain processing.
