Bean sprouts are recognized as one of the world’s most nutritious foods. Although the production of sprouts has ancient roots, modern bean sprout technology involves sophisticated machinery that enables growers to produce high quality bean sprouts in a clean, automated environment.
Tianjin Yahe Engineers & Consultants adopts imported foreign advanced processing technology and design the bean sprout hull removing line, combining domestic traditional bean sprout hull removing processing technic. It is widely used in big scale bean sprout hull enterprises. It also exported to Europe and the United States and by the clients’ praise.
The line of bean sprout equipment is designed to promote safe and successful bean sprout production. Featuring manual equipment of small growers and fully automatic equipment for larger growers, our bean sprout machines and equipment encompass seed sanitation, growing, hulling, dewatering, and other stages of growing cycle.
GROWING THE SPROUTS
The things that effect bean sprout are :
* Seed quality
* Water quality, consistency, flow, duration, temperature and watering interval
* Nutrients in the water
* Gasses in the room
* Room temperature and humidity
REMOVING THE SEED HULLS
When the sprouts are grown, the grower removes the bins from the growing room with a pallet jack or electric fork lift. The sprouts are removed from the bins either manually by a stainless steel pitch fork or automatically with a bin dumper.
The next stage is removing the green seed hull. This can be done either wet or dry. There are advantages and disadvantages to each. Using the dry method, sprouts are conveyed along a vibrating table with a perforated top. The seed hulls fall through the holes and if there are roots hairs on the sprouts, many of them are removed as they pass over the perforations. The vibrating huller is favored in areas where labor is expensive and water is dear. The equipment is generally less expensive and takes less space than the wet method.
The wash system is the preferred method for quality. It uses a water bath to separate the seed hulls. The wash system allows you to chill and sanitize your sprouts, which increase shelf life. A dewatering system is needed with this system, whereas it is not needed with the vibrating huller. We make both type of hulls in variety of sizes to handle any volume.
