GRITTING MACHINE

The Horizontal Crimper removes the outer shell and splits grooved seeds using specially machined and tapped stones with high efficiency and adjustable motor speed. It runs quietly with easy-to-replace stones and comes with safety features such as a motor guard and enclosed safe.

Tanis Gritting Machine: Controlled Cracking for Optimal Pre-Processing

Gentle and Precise Cracking to Preserve Product Quality

In the seed and grain processing industry, certain products need controlled cracking to prepare them for subsequent operations. This process gently breaks the seed coat or outer layer, making the product more permeable to water, heat, steam, or pressure.

The Tanis Gritting Machine is a professional solution designed to perform this delicate cracking with high precision, ensuring product integrity. It is widely used in flour, feed, oil, and malt production sectors.

Working Principle: Adjustable Drum Gap for Gentle Cracking

  • Mechanical Compression: The machine operates with two rotating drums, applying controlled pressure.

  • Surface Cracking: As products pass between the drums, micro-cracks form on the surface without crushing the product.

  • Customizable Settings: Drum gap and pressure can be adjusted manually or automatically according to product hardness.

  • Durable Coating: Drums have abrasion-resistant coatings to minimize product loss.

Durable and Precise Design

  • Drum Construction: Hard chrome steel or special coatings for long-lasting performance

  • Adjustable Pressure Mechanism: Quickly adapts to products with varying hardness

  • Quiet Operation: Balanced drums minimize vibration and provide comfortable usage

  • Easy Cleaning: Large access covers and quick drum removal simplify maintenance

Applications

  • Grains: Barley, wheat, corn (pre-processing for flour, malt, or feed)

  • Oilseeds: Sunflower, soybean, flaxseed (cracking outer shells)

  • Pulses: Lentils, chickpeas, beans (surface cracking of outer skin)

  • Pre-Processing Steps: Soaking, boiling, or steaming preparation

  • Dust Reduction: Controlled preparation before grinding

Operational Benefits

  • Preserves Product Quality: Cracks outer layers without harming the interior

  • Increases Efficiency: Subsequent processes like boiling, fermentation, or oil extraction operate faster and more efficiently

  • Minimizes Waste: Gentle processing reduces breakage and product loss

  • Energy Saving: Less energy required in downstream processes

  • Durable Design: Robust drums and frame for years of reliable operation

Use Cases

  • Flour Mills: Controlled cracking of wheat to increase flour yield

  • Feed Plants: Pre-grinding seed shell cracking

  • Oil Production: Enhancing oil extraction efficiency for sunflower and soybean

  • Malt Production: Preparing barley for fermentation

  • Pulse Processing: Surface cracking chickpeas, beans, and lentils

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Which products can it process?
    Barley, wheat, corn, sunflower, soybean, flaxseed, lentils, chickpeas, beans, and similar agricultural products.
