Dry Degerminator

The Dry Degerminator is designed to efficiently separate the germ from corn kernels, enabling the production of high-quality corn grits, corn flour, and other value-added maize products.

The Dry Degerminator is a key processing machine used in dry corn milling plants to separate the germ from the endosperm through a controlled combination of impact, friction, and centrifugal forces.

During the process, conditioned corn kernels are subjected to mechanical action that loosens and separates the germ while preserving the integrity of the endosperm. This allows downstream sieving and purification equipment to efficiently recover high-purity corn grits and flour products.

By removing the oil-rich germ fraction, the Dry Degerminator helps improve product quality, increase shelf life, and enhance the overall efficiency of the milling process. The recovered germ can also be utilized in edible oil production or animal feed applications, creating additional value for processors.

OZAN Milling offers reliable Dry Degerminator solutions suitable for modern maize milling facilities requiring high separation efficiency and consistent product quality.

Working Principle

The Dry Degerminator mechanically separates the germ from the endosperm of corn kernels through controlled impact and friction, without the use of water. This dry degermination process preserves the integrity of the germ while producing high-quality grits and minimizing the production of fines.
