Hebei Julite Sorting Technology Co., Ltd. offers its Corn Processing Line, a versatile system for producing cleaned, graded corn kernels or fractions for human food, animal feed, and industrial applications. Built for scalability and accuracy, this line integrates multiple cleaning, dehusking, degerming, and sorting stages.
Bulk Intake and Pre-Cleaning
Corn kernels enter the line via a controlled conveyor into a rotary screen setup that removes cobs, stalk pieces, and oversized debris. An aspirator eliminates light particulate matter and chaff.
Dehusking and Degerming
In the dehusking module, abrasive rollers or impact dehullers remove the outer pericarp. The resulting mixture passes through an air classifier to separate lightweight husk fragments. Next, degerming units—using friction or mechanical impact—separate the germ from the endosperm. Aspirators then extract light germ particles for potential oil extraction, while endosperm-rich fractions advance.
Milling or Flaking Options
Processors can choose a milling module—equipped with roller mills or hammer mills—to produce flour, grits, or semolina. Alternatively, a flaking unit can transform kernels into flakes for breakfast cereals or snack applications.
Polishing and Brightening
Rotary polishers or spiral brush machines impart a smooth finish to kernels destined for snack products, enhancing visual appeal and aiding seasoning adhesion.
Precision Grading and Sorting
Multi-deck screening classifies particles by size. Optical sorters equipped with high-speed cameras identify discolored kernels, broken pieces, and foreign material, ejecting them via air jets.
Moisture Control and Packaging
Inline moisture sensors monitor residual moisture; low-temperature dryers adjust moisture to target levels for safe storage or further processing. A final metal detector ensures product safety before multi-head weighers and bagging machines package the finished corn fractions.
Modularity: Dehusking, degerming, milling, flaking, and polishing modules can be combined in different sequences to meet specific product goals.
Energy Efficiency: Variable-frequency drives and heat-recovery systems reduce power and fuel consumption.
Hygienic Construction: Food-grade stainless-steel contact parts and smooth interiors facilitate cleaning.
Automation and Control: A PLC/HMI panel provides real-time feedback on throughput, moisture, and rejects; data logging supports traceability.
Low Maintenance: Tool-free access panels and centralized lubrication points minimize downtime.
Food-Grade Corn Flour and Grits: Consistent particle size and color for baking, tortilla, and polenta production.
Snack and Cereal Products: Bright, polished flakes and kernels for snack nuts and breakfast cereals.
Animal Feed: Degermed fractions and bran for livestock and poultry diets.
Industrial Uses: Starch extraction and bioprocessing feedstock.
From initial design and site planning through installation, commissioning, and operator training, Hebei Julite Sorting Technology Co., Ltd. provides full lifecycle support to ensure each Corn Processing Line meets productivity and quality objectives.
