Classifier – Destoner

The Classifier – Destoner is designed to efficiently separate stones, heavy foreign materials, and lightweight impurities from grain streams, ensuring cleaner raw materials and protecting downstream milling equipment from damage.

The Classifier – Destoner is one of the most critical machines in the grain cleaning section of modern flour mills, semolina plants, and grain processing facilities. It combines classification and destoning functions within a single unit, enabling highly efficient removal of both heavy and light contaminants before the grain enters the conditioning and milling process.

Using a carefully controlled combination of vibration, airflow, and deck inclination, the machine separates materials according to their specific weight and aerodynamic properties. Stones, glass fragments, metal particles, mud balls, and other high-density contaminants are effectively removed, while lighter impurities are extracted through the integrated aspiration system.

The removal of heavy foreign materials is essential not only for product quality but also for protecting roller mills, conveying systems, and other downstream equipment from excessive wear and potential damage. By delivering a cleaner and more uniform grain stream, the Classifier – Destoner contributes significantly to improved milling performance, higher extraction rates, and enhanced food safety standards.

OZAN Milling Classifier – Destoner solutions are engineered for high separation efficiency, stable operation, and reliable long-term performance. Their optimized deck design and precise airflow control ensure effective cleaning while minimizing valuable product loss.

Working Principle

The product is separated according to its specific gravity using a combination of vibration and controlled airflow. Stones and heavy impurities are discharged separately while the cleaned grain continues to the next processing stage.
