FOCUS ON SOYBEAN DEHULLING

The shell of soybean content 10 to 11% of proteins and 0,7% to 1% oil content and 12% of moisture. The shell represents only 7,5% of the weight of the seed with 12% moisture. The dehulling allows to obtain a soja cake between 44 to 50% of product PROFAT (Proteins + Fat). Soybean has a diameter between 6 mm to 8 mm, the shell is split easily, under condition to require a drying to 9/10%. The raw crushing is realized by crushers with 4 grooved rollers.
