Sunflower Seed Gravity Separator

Sunflower Seed Gravity Separator

Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. introduces its Sunflower Seed Gravity Separator, optimally engineered for both oilseed and snack-grade sunflower seed processing. By exploiting small density differences among kernels, broken seeds, and husk fragments, this machine achieves high-purity separation in a single pass.

Operating Principle
Sunflower seeds are distributed onto a gently moving deck. Oscillation and calibrated airflow cause dense kernels to flow to the clean seed outlet, while lighter hulls, dust, and split kernels remain on the deck surface and are drawn off into the tailing channel. Fine adjustment of separation parameters accommodates black-oil and confection-type sunflower varieties.

Key Features

• Dual-Mode Operation: Quickly switch between fine-separation mode for hulling feedstock and coarse-separation mode for snack-grade kernels.

• Precision Air Panels: Individually adjustable panels fine-tune airflow distribution to match seed batch characteristics.

• Heavy-Duty Vibrators: Low-maintenance motors provide consistent deck motion even under high-throughput conditions.

• Ergonomic Access Doors: Simplify cleaning and inspection of internal components.

• Digital Control Interface: Recipe-based settings store optimal parameters for different sunflower types.

Applications and Benefits
Oil mills benefit from higher oil yields when only clean, mature kernels enter the pressing stage. Snack-seed producers achieve more uniform roasting and reduce customer complaints by eliminating broken or discolored seeds. Typical impurity removal rates exceed 95%, and throughput can reach up to 22 t/h, depending on seed dryness and pre-cleaning efficiency.

Maintenance and Support
Routine operations include changing air filters, inspecting deck mats for wear, and verifying vibrator alignment. Shijiazhuang Xinlu Technology Co., Ltd. supports clients with comprehensive service agreements, including annual inspections and on-site staff training to maintain separation accuracy over the life of the equipment.
