Degerminator

Degerminator is a machine used in corn flour mills to prevent high oil content corn germs from entering the flour. Its features and advantages include flexible production yield adjustment, high productivity and quality material. It also helps to reduce oil content to less than 1% and has a wide range of production scenarios with adjustable quality on the finished product.

Tanis Degerminator Machine: High-Precision Hull and Germ Separation

Efficient Core Separation for Maximum Quality

In seed and grain processing, achieving high yield and refined quality depends on precise separation of hulls, bran, and germ. For high-oil-content seeds like corn, germ removal simplifies processing and enhances industrial value.

The Tanis Degerminator Machine offers a high-capacity, precise solution for hull and germ separation, working seamlessly with modern agricultural machinery to improve seed cleaning and product quality.


Operating Principle: Friction and Surface Scraping

  • Precision Friction: Specially designed inner drum and rotor motion loosen hulls without crushing kernels.

  • Controlled Scraping: Outer hull is removed while the inner germ is gently separated.

  • Efficient Discharge: Hull and germ fragments exit through dedicated outlets.

  • Product Preservation: Cleaned kernels remain intact and ready for the next processing stage.


Durable and User-Friendly Design

  • Wear-Resistant Materials: Hardened drum and rotor surfaces for long service life

  • Adjustable Pressure & Speed: Tailored friction and contact time for various seed types

  • Food-Grade Interior: Fully compliant with hygiene standards

  • Easy Cleaning: Removable top cover, brush-accessible drum, and large maintenance panels


Wide Range of Applications

  • Corn Processing: Germ and hull removal for starch production

  • Oilseeds (Sunflower, etc.): Hull and germ separation

  • Pulse Processing: Fine hull removal in chickpeas, lentils, and beans

  • Hybrid Seed Production: Pre-cleaning stages

  • Feed Raw Materials: Component-based separation processes


Business Benefits

  • High Separation Efficiency: Up to 95% hull and germ removal

  • Gentle Processing: Maintains kernel integrity

  • Energy Efficiency: Low consumption through controlled friction

  • Low Product Loss: Minimizes waste with careful handling

  • System Integration: Seamless operation with other Tanis processing machines


Usage Scenarios

  • Corn germ removal for starch production

  • Oilseed hull and bran separation

  • Pulse cleaning for chickpeas and lentils

  • Hybrid seed pre-cleaning
