The purpose of corn moisture regulation

Moisture adjustment is the use of water, steam, and moist corn kernels to provide the best process conditions for corn peelingand germination. It is an indispensable process for corn co-production.

Moisture adjustment is mainly to adjust the moisture of corn cortex and embryo to increase the moisture, control the penetration of moisture into the endosperm, soften the cortex and embryo, enhance the toughness of the cortex, reduce the binding force of the cortex and endosperm, make the embryo body expand and increase the elasticity The damage to the embryo during the process of peeling and degerming of corn improves the efficiency of dehulling and degerming.

Water regulation is divided into two processes: watering and moistening corn. Spray steam into the water to increase the feed temperature and water temperature, and accelerate the penetration rate of water into the corn cortex and embryo. The corn after entering the water enters the corn bin, so that the water can penetrate the corn cortex and embryo uniformly.
