Raw material intake

Benefit from 24/7 support and 150 years of Bühler experience for grain intake and storage systems, including digital apps to monitor grain silos online and on your phone.

 

Handling

2

Handling

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

3

Oilseed drying

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.

 

Storage

4

Storage

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.

 

Weighing

5

Weighing

Our weighing and dosing equipment are 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.

 

Cleaning

6

Cleaning

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.

 

Dehulling

7

Dehulling

In order to extract the most value out of your sunflower seed, efficient and precise dehulling is key. Our rugged sunflower impact dehullers provide high throughput rates of up to 180 metric tons per day while giving you full control over the desired dehulling degree.

 

Hull seperation

8

Hull separation

After separating the hulls from the kernels, the lose hulls are efficiently separated from the good product stream by means of screening and aspiration. We offer a wide range of size options to match process setups.

 

Hull control

9

Hull control

The separated hulls may carry residues of oil and protein-rich kernels you do not want to go to waste. Our hull control process recovers the valuable kernel particles from the hull stream and leads to an optimized process yield.

 

Flaking

10

Flaking

Flaking is at the heart of the sunflower preparation process and is of central importance to achieve high yields in the downstream pressing or solvent extraction. Our flaking mills are characterized by achieving maximum throughputs while providing a precise, smooth and vibration-free operation.

 

Oilseed flakes

Our automation solutions enable you to align your machine processes for higher availability and faster cycle times. This also ensures central monitoring and control, with a real-time overview of production performance.
