Crown Soybean Dehulling

After cleaning, the beans enter the Crown Whole Bean Aspirator to remove loose hulls and field dust. The beans then enter the Crown Vertical Seed Conditioner ‘VSC’ to condition the beans by a slow heating process, raising the temperature of the bean. As the bean temperature rises, moisture migrates to the surface, allowing the patented Crown Aspiration System to remove it, drying the beans and softening the hulls. After the beans are properly conditioned in the VSC, they enter the patented Crown Jet Dryer, which uses re-circulated and injected hot air to shrink the hull, releasing the hull/meat bond. After the Jet Dryer, the beans enter the Crown Hull-O-Seneator®, which uses a steel corrugated roll to split the beans in half and a rubber-coated roll to “scuff” the beans, separating the hulls from the meats while minimizing fines. The half beans and loose hulls then enter the Crown Cascade Dryer ‘CCD’. In the CCD, the half beans and hulls cascade downward, releasing even more hulls. Re-circulating countercurrent-heated air will lift the hulls, separating the two products.
