LINE FOR DEGERMINATION OF GERM FROM CORN GRAIN Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B02B1/00 B02B3/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention is used for degermination from corn grain of the germ destined for production of corn oil. The line of degermination of the germ from corn grain comprises the unit for preparation of corn grain for processing and the unit for degermination of the germ from corn grain. The unit for preparation of corn grain for processing is equipped with a scalping machine, sieve-air separator, stone separator, humidification unit and a container for softening. The unit for degermination of the germ from corn grain is equipped with screening plants and a dryer. In the unit for preparation of corn grain for processing in front of the humidification unit two series-connected photoelectron separators are additionally mounted. The first separator is designed for removal of impurities by colour, and the second - for removal impurities having the same colour with corn grain but different geometric dimensions. After the container for softening two series-connected photoelectron separators are additionally mounted. The first separator is designed to fractionate the grain mass to the surface area for coarse and small fractions, and the second - for separation of the coarse fraction by length by two factions: the oblong and the round shape. The two fractions separated by length are fed to the unit for degermination of the germ from corn grain separately. In the unit for degermination of the germ from corn grain in front of the screening plants the polishing machines are additionally mounted, equipped with aspiration systems. Sequentially connected roller machines and the screening plants are additionally mounted in front of the dryer, the line units are sealed.

EFFECT: line provides a high yield of the germ with minimal content of meal and glume.
