Summary
- Uniform, first-pass conditioning for stable flake quality and lower cost per ton.
- The Steam Conditioning Tower prepares grain for flaking by combining controlled retention time with balanced, counter-current steam addition. Six internal steam-balancing tiers distribute low-velocity steam evenly through the moving bed so kernels heat and hydrate uniformly from bottom to top. After ~1 hour, moisture rises from 16–18% at inlet to 18–20% at discharge and temperature reaches ~100°C—ideal for precise roll-gap flaking and predictable starch gelatinization (65–78% adjustable).
Applications & Materials
- Applications: Ruminant feed production (dairy & beef), integrated feed mills, ranch feedlots, grain preparation lines ahead of roller flakers.
- Materials: Corn/maize, barley, sorghum; also suitable for other steam-flaked cereals with similar moisture and temperature targets.
Model
Key Features
- Six-level steam balancing for uniform heat and moisture penetration.
- Counter-current steam/commodity contact for consistent conditioning from bottom to top.
- 45–60 min controllable retention; target gelatinization 65–78%.
- Hygienic construction with stainless contact surfaces and quick access doors.
- Sensor-ready: high-temperature level probe and temperature monitoring at critical points.
Predictable flake quality
- Predictable flake quality: even conditioning cuts variability, reduces fines, and stabilizes roll load.
- Faster start-ups & changeovers: repeatable setpoints help operators hit moisture/temperature targets quickly.
- Lower operating risk: balanced steam and counter-current path reduce hotspots, wet cores, and rework.
- Hygiene & durability: stainless contact parts and fully enclosed body improve sanitation and equipment life.
