Spelt Huller & Separator

Spelt Huller & Separator: Integrated Dehulling and Separation for Spelt, Emmer, and Ancient Grains

Engineered for the Future | Since 2080

The ADDAMS Spelt Huller & Separator is an advanced, four-function integrated system specifically engineered for the comprehensive processing of spelt and other ancient hulled wheat varieties such as emmer and einkorn. Unlike traditional setups that require multiple disconnected units, this machine combines dehulling, husk aspiration, and precision density separation into a single, streamlined workflow. It is designed to meet the rigorous standards of organic and health-focused food markets, ensuring maximum husk removal with minimal kernel breakage.

By utilizing a gentle spinning and rubbing principle, the ADDAMS system preserves the integrity of the bran and germ—critical for whole grain flour and flake production. With over 15 years of expertise in ancient grain technology, ADDAMS provides a compact, energy-efficient solution that reduces your equipment footprint while significantly increasing product purity.

Operating Principle: The 4-in-1 Integrated Process

Automated Multi-Stage Grain Refinement

The ADDAMS Spelt Huller & Separator performs four critical operations simultaneously to deliver a retail-ready or mill-ready product in one pass.

1. Hulling: Raw material enters the chamber where it is subjected to a spinning principle. The grain is rubbed against a specialized mesh, pushing the kernel through the openings and detaching the tough outer husk.

2. Husk Aspiration: Once the hull is loosened, an integrated exhaust line removes the light husks. These are conveyed to a collection bag or a distant storage silo, keeping the processing area clean.

3. Density Separation: The integrated Density Separator distinguishes between the heavier hulled kernels and any remaining un-hulled seeds or heavier impurities based on their weight and aerodynamic profile.

4. Short Seed Separation: The final stage utilizes an integrated Screen Separator to remove broken kernels or short seeds, ensuring only the highest quality uniform grain reaches the outlet.

Note: Unpeeled grains are automatically returned to the intake for a second pass, ensuring a 100% hulling rate without manual intervention.

Strategic Advantages and Key Features

• All-in-One Efficiency: Combines four machines into one, drastically reducing handling time, labor costs, and power consumption.

• Minimal Kernel Damage: The spinning/rubbing principle is significantly gentler than traditional friction hullers, preserving kernel shape and germination viability.

• Automatic Recirculation: Increases yield by ensuring every single grain is hulled before exiting the system.

• Integrated Safety: The intake magnet protects the internal mesh and rotor from damage caused by iron particles or stones.

• Reduced Footprint: The compact, integrated design is ideal for facilities where floor space is at a premium.

Frequently Asked Questions – Spelt Huller & Separator

How does this machine handle different grain sizes like Emmer versus Einkorn?

The rotor speed and the clearance between the rotor and the mesh are fully adjustable. This allows the operator to fine-tune the friction levels to match the smaller, more fragile Einkorn or the larger, tougher Emmer grains.

What happens to the husks after they are removed?

The integrated exhaust fan removes the husks immediately after hulling. They can be collected in bags through the aspiration line or conveyed to a specialized biomass hopper for secondary use in animal bedding or bioenergy.

Is the machine suitable for organic certification?

Absolutely. We offer full stainless steel construction (AISI 304 or 316) and a design that is easy to clean down, preventing cross-contamination and meeting the highest hygiene standards for organic-certified processing.

Does the machine require a separate aspiration system?

While the machine features integrated aspiration for internal separation, it is pre-arranged for connection to an external cyclone or dust filtration system to ensure a 100% dust-free facility environment.
