Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. is pleased to unveil its Corn Gravity Separator, specifically tailored to separate whole maize kernels from broken grains, husk pieces, and other low-density contaminants. The machine’s precise density-based sorting ensures improved product quality for both feed and food applications.
Operating Principle
Whole corn kernels, being denser than broken fragments and hull material, respond predictably to gravity separation. The vibrating deck stratifies the material, allowing dense kernels to migrate to the clean-product side while lighter particles remain on the deck surface. A carefully calibrated upward airflow carries these light contaminants away to the rejects outlet.
Key Features
Wide Deck Design: Supports high-capacity processing up to 25 t/h for dry maize.
Adjustable Air Inlets: Multiple inlet ports allow uniform suction along the deck’s length.
Variable Stroke Control: Manual or motorized adjustment of stroke length ensures gentle handling of kernels.
Solid-State Controls: Touchscreen HMI displays operating parameters and quick-access adjustment options.
Durable Wear Liners: Replaceable polycarbonate liners reduce maintenance costs and extend deck life.
Applications and Benefits
Feed manufacturers see improved pellet quality and reduced downstream screen blinding by removing broken kernels and fines before grinding. Corn processors for human consumption gain whiter, more uniform kernels that enhance texture in products such as tortilla chips and breakfast cereals. The separator typically yields a clean-product recovery rate above 93% while rejecting up to 85% of lightweight impurities.
Maintenance and Support
Preventive-maintenance tasks include deck liner inspection, fan bearing lubrication, and vibrator motor checks. Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. offers an optional remote-monitoring package that alerts operators to performance deviations, ensuring timely interventions and sustained operational efficiency.
