Scourer

The Intensive Scourer is designed to remove dust, dirt, microorganisms, insects, adhering impurities, and outer surface layers from grain kernels through an intensive abrasion process, significantly improving grain cleanliness before conditioning and milling.

The Intensive Scourer is a high-performance grain cleaning machine used in flour mills, semolina plants, and grain processing facilities to achieve superior grain surface cleaning before the milling process begins. Unlike conventional cleaning equipment, it applies an intensive abrasion and friction action to the grain, removing contaminants that are firmly attached to the kernel surface.

During operation, grain is subjected to controlled rubbing between a high-speed rotor, specially designed paddles, and the internal screening surface. This intensive mechanical action removes dust, soil residues, microorganisms, insect fragments, beard particles, adhering husks, and outer surface contaminants that cannot be effectively eliminated through standard screening and aspiration systems alone.

By thoroughly cleaning the grain surface before conditioning, the Intensive Scourer improves water absorption during tempering, enhances milling efficiency, supports lower ash flour production, and contributes to improved food safety standards. The result is cleaner wheat, better flour quality, increased extraction performance, and more stable plant operation.

OZAN Milling Intensive Scourer solutions are engineered for maximum cleaning efficiency, reliable continuous-duty performance, and long service life. Their optimized rotor design and abrasion system provide effective grain treatment while maintaining kernel integrity and minimizing product loss.
