Processing Plants for Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds are used both in the oil industry and in the bakery industry. Although the requirements of these sectors differ, SCHULE Mühlenbau commands both extremely well due to its long experience in husking.

With plants of SCHULE Mühlenbau, sunflower seeds can be easily dehulled, even with large capacities, while checking the crude fibre content in the fraction of the dehulled seeds. This provides the possibility to operate an oil mill in an extremely variable way.

Gentle dehulling of the sunflower seeds with complete removal of the hulls is an everyday requirement if sunflower seeds are to be dehulled for the bakery industry. SCHULE Mühlenbau meets these requirements excellently with its machines.

The following overview shows machines which are used for the processing of sunflower seeds. Here, you can find more information about various SCHULE machines.

  • Destoner

    The SCHULE destoners ST and ST D are used for the separation of stones in a continuous process. Due to its mode of operation, the destoner separates specifically heavier components from the lighter accepted product. Stones, broken glass and metal can be sorted out with a high degree of separation, even if they do not differ from the accepted product in size and shape.
