Precision in dosing guarantees a constant ratio between semolina or flour and water in the dough, which is the first step to a steady production process. This allows us to avoid undesired fluctuations in the extrusion and drying steps.
Our conveyor lines cover all applications throughout your feed value-added chain, from raw material intake to conveying finished pellets. We customize a system to meet your space and process needs, using any combination of elevators, trough chain, belt and screw conveyors.
Drying of oilseed helps to store them safely, maintain their quality and prevent food loss. Our drying technology provides gentle and uniform drying without damaging the product. Heating up ambient air and guiding it through a continuous product flow, the hot air absorbs moisture from the kernels.
We use our wide range of storage options to create a solution tailored to your specific process needs – all from a single source. This can include flat-bottom or steel silos as well as silo bins for storing all of your beans, hulls, extraction meal and various other bulk materials.
Our weighing and dosing equipment is manufactured to offer you precision and accuracy. They help with internal processes and control by ensuring accurate weight registrations – from loading and unloading of bulk products, bagging, weight control to mixing systems for micro-components.
Efficient cleaning of oilseed is essential in any processing operation. Our solutions help remove various kinds of impurities, such as broken beans or foreign objects like straw, stones or dust. Thorough cleaning helps maximize yields and contributes to a sustainable value chain.
Proper oilseed conditioning before flaking is key to ensuring consistent flake thickness and therefore crucial for good flake quality prior to pressing and extraction.
Proper flaking is a critical factor in the oil extraction process, as the seeds' microscopic oil cells are ruptured, allowing the extraction media to penetrate the product. Bühler offers innovative solutions for the flaking of soybeans and soft oilseed such as sunflower, canola and corn germ.
