What Affects Corn Processing Equipment Yield Under Certain Conditions

What affects corn processing equipment yield under certain conditions?

First, corn kernels grinding degree. During corn processing equipment operation, with roll clearance decreasing and grinding area length increasing, the effective grinding teeth of the high speed roll becomes more and the grinding degree is improved. But the unit flow of the grinding machine will be reduced relatively.

Second, the height of the grinding teeth. In corn processing equipment grinding, with grinding teeth wearing, the grinding teeth may not easily catch the material. And the sliding on the grinding roll surface will be strengthened. The corn kernels movement speed in the grinding area will be lowered. Due to the smaller and smaller grinding teeth height, the material between the two grinding teeth gap will reduce and also make the corn processing equipment yield reduce.

Third, the moisture content of the raw corn material. Too high moisture content in the corn may cause low corn flour yield.

Fourth, the grinding capacity. After several sections of grinding, the endosperm is scraped gradually. And the corn kernels unit weight is reduced. The unit flow of the corn processing equipment will also be reduced.

Fifth, the material granularity. When the material granularity has large difference when entering into the same grinding system, the smaller granules may not be ground. And this will cause low yield of the corn processing equipment.
