Hull Grinding

A complete solution for breaking down hulls while minimizing kernel damage.

Hull grinding is all about breaking down the tough outer shells of seeds and grains. We use powerful machines like hammermills to grind these hulls into smaller pieces. Why? Grinding separates the nutritious inner parts (kernels) from the outer shell, making them easier to use in other processes, like turning them into animal feed pellets. Grinding also makes everything finer, which helps in later steps. The leftover ground hulls themselves have many uses too, from becoming part of animal feed to being used as fuel or even ingredients in industrial products.
