OverviewThe MHXM degerminator performs decortication and degermination of corn. It is suitable for preparing flaking grits via wet hulling and for producing brewing and snack grits via dry degermination, delivering a clean separation of germ, epidermis and endosperm.
Key benefits- Low-fat kernels — Dry degermination produces kernels with reduced fat content, suitable for specific end‑uses.
- High degermination rate and yield — Roller rotor and sieve jacket enable intensive processing; outlet retarding pressure can be adjusted to increase degermination degree.
- Consistent product quality with minimal fines — Gentle handling and precise separation reduce fines and ensure a pure, uniform end product.
Highlight features- Reduced operating costs — Preconditioning without water or steam lowers both OPEX and CAPEX.
- Intensive mechanical design — Roller rotor combined with sieve jacket for efficient processing.
Applications- Wheat
- Durum wheat
- Oats
- Corn / Maize — flaking grits (wet hulling), brewing and snack grits (dry degermination)
