How to Control Water Conditioning of Maize Grinder

Why does maize need water conditioning?
Maize grinder in the process of maize processing industry, the purpose of the water control is help maize seed hold in moisture, provides the best process conditions for peeling and degerming, which is indispensable to maize process. By increasing the moisture of maize cortex and embryo, softening cortex and embryo cortex toughness, reduce the adhesion strength of the cortex and endosperm, the application of maize grinder make the body expansion, elasticity increase, in order to reduce embryo damage during maize peeling, degerming process, and improve the efficiency of peeling, degerming. Pay attention to control water penetration to the inside endosperm.

How much moisture content is appropriate?
16% - 17% moisture content of maize is suitable for process, water conditioning should proceed when it is less than this. Maize can be processed without water conditioning when the moisture content is above 18%. When the moisture content reach 20%, peeling and degerming efficiency is high as well as the finished product moisture content. High quality maize grinder can produce good products, which conform to the standard can be called good processing equipment.

In the process of maize grinder processing, there are two aspects: degerming and grits making. The good one’s degerming work efficiency is very high, and can also maintain the maize germ complete well, and the finished products of maize grits shape should be tidy. While for maize mixture process, try to reduce the whole grain of debris.
