BROWN BREAKER

The Awn Crusher plays an important role in the wheat processing plant by removing the awns from the wheat grains. This process is carried out by gentle beating to simplify germination. In addition, it collects and recycles the products in the plant by collecting and separating the adhering products. The machine is designed for easy use, maintenance and durability, ensuring effective cleaning and safety in the wheat processing plant.

Brown Breaker: Effective Solution Against Tough Residues

Ensuring Product Purity in Seed and Grain Processing

One of the main challenges in seed and grain processing is the presence of stems, husks, spikes, and other sticky residues that cannot be easily separated from the product. These foreign materials can strain downstream machinery, affect product appearance, and reduce process efficiency. The Brown Breaker is a high-performance machine designed to remove these elements, enhancing both productivity and product purity.

Dry stems, husks, and outer residues are mechanically crushed and separated by the system. This process results in a more uniform seed, reducing the load on cleaning and classification machines.

Working Principle: Surface Crushing via Rotor Mechanism

The Brown Breaker uses a centrally positioned rotary rotor system to mechanically break tough outer residues in contact with the product. Fixed and rotating rods on the rotor create controlled friction that removes fine spikes and husk fragments adhering to seeds.

The internal surface design directs the product toward the crushing area, ensuring effective, controlled operation without damaging the internal seed structure.

Application Areas

The Brown Breaker can be used efficiently with:

  • Wheat (especially durum wheat)

  • Barley, rye, oats

  • Lentils, chickpeas, beans, and other husked or thin-skinned seeds

  • Hybrid seeds and specially selected varieties

  • Sunflower, sesame, and other seeds with residual outer husks

It plays a critical pre-cleaning role on lines processing high-moisture or tough-skinned products, improving downstream sorting, color separation, and packaging.

Key Advantages

  • High Removal Efficiency: Up to 95% of stems, husks, and spikes removed

  • Gentle on Seeds: Special friction surfaces protect internal seed structure

  • Adjustable Rotor Speed & Contact Pressure: Easily adaptable to different products

  • Durable Construction: Wear-resistant rotor and inner body coating

  • Easy Cleaning: Wide opening panels and brushable surfaces

  • Modular Integration: Compatible with other agricultural separating systems

Contribution to Line Quality

Removing stems and husks not only enhances visual quality but also improves the efficiency of selectors, color sorters, and other cleaning machines. This ensures consistent classification, better appearance during packaging, and higher market value.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. Which products is it suitable for?
    Wheat (especially durum), barley, oats, lentils, chickpeas, hybrid seeds, and other spiky or husked grains.

  2. Does it damage the seeds?
    No. The process applies controlled friction only to outer surfaces, preserving internal seed structure.

  3. Is cleaning difficult?
    No. Wide opening panels and accessible interior surfaces allow for easy daily cleaning.

  4. Can it be connected to automation systems?
    Yes. Optional PLC integration and sensor-controlled filling are available.

  5. Is crushing intensity adjustable?
    Yes. Rotor speed and product feed can be adapted to suit different seed types.
