Dehulling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dehulling
The process of removing the hulls from (beans, seeds, etc.).
To prepare the seeds to have oils extracted from them, they are cleaned to remove any foreign objects. Next, the seeds have their hulls, or outer coverings, removed.
Three types of Dehulling Systems:
There are three different types of dehulling systems that can be used to process soybeans: Hot Dehulling, Warm Dehulling and Cold Dehulling. Hot Dehulling is the ultimate system offered in areas where beans are processed directly from the field. Warm Dehulling is preferred by processors who import their soybeans. Cold Dehulling is offered to plants that have existing drying and conditioning equipment, but need to add dehulling equipment to produce high protein meal. The different dehulling temperature options are for different types of production, beans and preparation equipment.
