CORN OR MAIZE SHELLER MACHINE

Corn Shelling Machine separates the grain from the corn cobs, thus the separation process is carried out quickly and without damaging the grain.

Fast and Damage-Free Shelling Assurance: Tanis Corn or Maize Sheller Machine

In corn processing lines, one of the most critical steps for efficiency is the fast, homogeneous, and damage-free separation of kernels from cobs. When graining is not done correctly after harvest, problems such as broken kernels, heterogeneous product flow, low germination rate, and high waste emerge. Especially for seed corn production and high-quality feed production facilities, this step directly determines the market value and processability of the final product.

The Tanis Corn or Maize Sheller Graining Machine, with its cob-specific design, precise pressure control, and high graining rate, performs this process in the most efficient, safe, and high-quality way. It is widely preferred in both modern agricultural facilities and industrial food production lines.

Importance of the Graining Process

Corn graining is not only a physical separation process but also a step that preserves the genetic integrity and physical quality of the product. Incorrect or unbalanced graining, especially in seed production, leads to:

  • Reduced germination power (due to embryo damage)

  • Increased waste (broken and crushed kernels)

  • Efficiency losses in later processes (sorting, drying, packaging)

  • Non-homogeneous product flow (requiring constant machine adjustments)

The Tanis Corn Graining Machine eliminates these risks by maintaining a low breakage rate even at high capacity.

Working Principle: Gentle Separation from Cob Surface

At the core of the machine lies a specially designed rotating drum and pressure roller mechanism. Cobs are fed into the hopper and moved along the drum surface under controlled pressure. During this process:

  • Pressure Rollers – Apply uniform pressure on the cob surface.

  • Friction & Contact Surface – Ensures kernels separate from the cob without breaking.

  • Adjustable Pressure Mechanism – Provides optimum contact force for different cob sizes.

  • Separation & Discharge – Kernels are directed to the lower hopper, while cobs exit separately.

This process can be optimized with special settings for both feed corn and seed corn.

Application Areas

The Tanis Corn or Maize Sheller Machine offers a wide range of uses depending on production needs:

  • Seed corn production facilities – Protects embryo integrity with low pressure and precise adjustments.

  • Feed corn production lines – Works at high capacity with minimal breakage.

  • Industrial food production – Preparation for chips, corn flour, starch, and derivatives.

  • Silage preparation – Graining of silage cobs.

  • Organic farming applications – Natural processing without chemical treatment.
