Quinoa Cleaning Equipment Manufacturer

Quinoa Cleaning Equipment

Quinoa has grown rapidly in global demand due to its nutritional profile and versatility in food applications. However, quinoa cleaning is more complex than many grain and seed varieties. Raw quinoa fields often include sand, stones, dust, husks, broken seeds, and particularly saponin-containing outer layers that must be either reduced or removed depending on the processing purpose.

Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. provides quinoa cleaning equipment engineered specifically for fine-grain seed processing. The machines are designed to deliver thorough impurity removal while handling quinoa’s lightweight and delicate characteristics.

The cleaning line typically begins with pre-cleaning that removes large impurities. This initial step prepares the quinoa for finer sorting and prevents equipment blockage. Precise feeding systems ensure an even material flow, which is critical for small-grain separation accuracy.

Air separation uses controlled airflow to remove lightweight particles such as dust, husks, and immature seeds. Due to quinoa’s fine size, airflow tuning must be exact. The equipment provides multi-level aspiration with adjustable air volumes to meet different cleaning requirements.

Screening modules classify quinoa by size using fine-mesh sieves. Multiple layers of screens separate oversize particles, undersized grains, and usable quinoa. High-frequency vibration systems ensure steady movement across the sieve surface without damaging the grain.

Gravity separation enhances quality by removing stones, soil particles, and denser impurities. The gravity table features micro-adjustments for airflow and deck angle, allowing accurate separation even when moisture content fluctuates.

Some quinoa processors require specialized polishing modules to remove surface residues or reduce saponin content. These modules can be integrated into the cleaning line depending on customer requirements.

Dust collection systems reduce airborne particulates, ensuring compliance with safety and hygiene standards. Bucket elevators and conveyors are designed for gentle material handling to prevent breakage. Automated control panels allow operators to monitor performance, adjust operating parameters, and maintain steady throughput.

As quinoa continues to grow in global markets, processors require reliable, scalable solutions. Quinoa cleaning equipment from Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. provides a full set of tools to support high-quality raw material preparation for domestic and export applications.
