Front end
Kernel washing & inspection
Control the handoff from preparation to food-contact processing.
Technical duty overview. Exact model and rated performance are selected against your project specification.

Inlet
What it receives
Prepared kernel with an agreed maximum fragment size.
Outlet
What it delivers
Drained kernel accepted for size reduction, plus a separate reject stream.
Structure and line connections
Inspection access, wash contact, drain-off and the transfer into the cutter must be reviewed together. Reused water and final-contact water are separate project decisions.
Cleaning and inspection interface
Specify access below belts or baskets, drainability, nozzle inspection and removal of trapped kernel fragments. Cleaning-agent selection and sanitation verification belong to the plant programme.
Selection data to specify
| Decision | Information needed |
|---|---|
| Kernel condition | Brown skin retained or removed; loose shell and soil criteria |
| Water interface | Quality, available flow, drain routing and reuse boundary |
| Transfer interface | Maximum lump size and permitted free water into extraction |
Application limits
Washing does not establish a microbial kill step. Water carried with kernel also affects a subsequent extraction mass balance.
Trial and acceptance evidence
Inspect retained fragments, drainage and downstream feed consistency during a representative run; document how rejected pieces leave the food stream.
