Seed hull removal and condition system
In the preparation phase of oilseed processing, proper cleaning and conditioning of seeds are crucial to ensure high protein content and efficient extraction. One challenge involves eliminating loose hulls and foreign materials while maintaining appropriate temperature and moisture levels in the seeds.
Efficiently remove seed hulls and foreign material
The Crown Aspirator is a specialized system designed to streamline the cleaning and conditioning process in oilseed preparation. It efficiently removes loose hulls and foreign material from whole or cracked seeds, enhancing the final product’s protein content. The seeds enter the aspirator through a rotary feeder and cascade through impact rods that distribute the product flow, allowing air to pass through and loosen the hulls. The aspirator employs a closed or recycled air loop system, which maintains optimal humidity and temperature. This setup not only ensures effective drying and conditioning but also minimizes air exhaust into the atmosphere, promoting a more sustainable operation. Crown Iron Works designed this system with user-friendly features like hinged doors for easy access and replaceable internal wear items.
