Corn Peeling and Degermination Purposes and Requirements

Corn Peeling and Degermination Purposes and Requirements
...

Corn peeling and degermination is quite common in corn processing. We peel and degerminate the corn and make the corn grits and corn flour contain less corn husk so as to ensure the end products purity and edible quality. Because corn germs and corn albumen are packed by the corn husk, we should peel the husk before corn degermination. After corn peeling, the corn germs and albumen can be easily separated.

Meanwhile, during degermination, corn kernels are smashed into large, medium and small granules. These granules can be processed into low fat corn grits and corn flour by the subsequent sections. In CORN PEELING AND DEGERMINATION, we should try to reduce excessive smashing to albumen. Corn gems should keep unbroken and the corn peeling and degermination should reduce the whole kernel rate. We can use corn peeling and degermination plant to finish this section. 

Corn peeling and degermination plant can finish corn peeling and degermination simultaneously. Due to the simple structure, low energy consumption and high corn peeling and degermination efficiency, it is quite popular in food processing plant, alcohol plants and feed mills.
