Seed conditioning system for soybeans and rapeseed
Streamline your oilseed processing by efficiently conditioning and dehulling soybeans and rapeseed for optimal oil and meal production, reducing thermal energy usage with a single heating stage.
Conditions and Dehulls Soybeans and Oilseeds Efficiently
The Seed Conditioner OLKA from Bühler Group is engineered to revolutionize the conditioning and dehulling of soybeans, rapeseed, and various grains. By utilizing a unique criss-cross heating method, it uniformly heats grains with minimal energy, reducing thermal costs by eliminating the need for multiple heating stages. Designed for continuous high-speed operations, it is perfect for producing soymeal, soy oil, canola oil, and more. The modular heating sections are stackable, allowing precise temperature and humidity control tailored to specific processing requirements. Its construction with corrosion-resistant stainless steel ensures excellent heat transfer and durability, offering a reliable solution for food and animal feed industries. Multiple maintenance doors and platforms facilitate quick service, minimizing downtime. With its PLC integration, it seamlessly fits into existing production lines, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
