Soybean Preparation oilseed Preparation

CPM provides complete preparation and pre-press systems for soybean seed.

Our soybean preparation process begins with thoroughly cleaning the soybeans, which may include aspiration, size classification and the removal of stones and metals. The next steps vary based on the chosen dehulling method. For hot dehulling, soybeans are conditioned and dried using the Vertical Seed Conditioner (VSC) and Jet Dryer before being cracked and hulled. Warm dehulling uses the VSC without the Jet Dryer, while cold dehulling skips the drying step and uses the VSC for conditioning after cracking and aspiration.

Features

We offer complete dehulling systems for your soybean preparation

  • Hot dehulling: The Vertical Seed Conditioner provides both conditioning and drying of whole soybeans. The whole soybeans are then passed through the Jet Dryer, which finishes the conditioning and prepares the soybean hull for easier removal during times when the hull is bound tightly to the soybean. After the Jet Dryer, the soybeans are immediately cracked, and the soybean hulls are removed in the Crown Cascade Dryer (CCD) and Crown Cascade Cooler (CCC).
  • Warm Dehulling: Also incorporates the Vertical Seed Conditioner, but does not include the Jet Dryer. The Vertical Seed Conditioner provides all of the heating, conditioning and drying for the whole soybean. The soybeans are cracked and then aspirated with the CCD and CCC for hull removal.
  • Cold Dehulling: Requires lower moisture content since there is no drying step in the process. The soybeans are cracked and aspirated for hull removal and then conditioned using the Vertical Seed Conditioner.
