Methods, devices, and compositions relating to processed grain products are shown. An exemplary method shown is a fiber separation process for the ethanol industry corn products of Distillers Dried Grains (DDG) and Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) resulting from the widely used dry grind technology. The disclosed process and apparatus allows the removal and separate recovery of fiber-reduced DDG or DDGS products with expanded potential for use as a non-ruminant feed product in addition to the removal and separate recovery of a fiber-enriched product. The specific processes, devices, and compositions shown are readily adaptable to modern ethanol production plants. |

A hulled rice distribution device (30) is disposed between a hulling section (10) and a wind sorting section (60) of a rice huller (1). This distribution device (30) comprises an distribution gutter (35) for receiving hulled rice falling from the hulling section, and a screw (32) for conveying the hulled rice having flowed into the distribution gutter (35) in the lengthwise direction of the distribution gutter. A plurality of holes (41, 42 and 43) for the hulled rice to fall through are formed in the distribution gutter (35), and some of them may be blocked or opened by a falling rice control plate (34). |

A grain processor comprises a conveyor, air-suction means, and air-blowing means. The conveyor has a surface defining a conveying course on which grains are disposed, and the surface has holes smaller than the grains. The air above the surface is sucked downward through the holes by the air-suction means. The air-blowing means blows air upward through the holes at a predetermined position in the conveying course so as to apply blowing-up force onto the conveyed grains on the surface reaching the predetermined position. |

A grain dropping passage constituted below a husking unit (D) serves as a winnowing room (A). A winnowed grain conveyor (1) is provided as the sole conveyor below the winnowing room (A). A winnowing wind blown by a winnowing fan (F) through a blowing room (B) passes through below the winnowed grain conveyor (1) and then rises in the winnowing room (A). The grains mixed with hulls and others are winnowed in the winnowing room (A) so as to be sorted into two kinds: winnowed grains to be received by the winnowed conveyor (1), and the other including hulls to be received by a hull conveyor (2) arranged oppositely to the winnowed grain conveyor (1) with respect to the winnowing fan (F). In this manner, powerful separation can be executed by means of winnowing wind having a large amount and large speed so as to improve a winnowing ability remarkably. |

A continuous process for separating components of flaxseed is described. Flaxseed is dried to a moisture content of from about 0.5% to about 3.0%, after which is introduced into a separation chamber having an abrasive rotator therein. As the flaxseed passes over the abrasive rotator, contact with rotator separates the flaxseed components into hulls and kernels. Hulls and kernels are separated and may be used in this form or processed further. Hulls may be further processed by extraction with water and with hexane to remove flaxseed gum and oil, respectively. These two extractions may be done in any order. The process results in a lignan-rich component of flaxseed, a gum extract and oil. These separate components of flaxseed may be used in products such as feed, personal care products or nutraceuticals. |

A semolina cleaning apparatus allows basic operations as in the prior art with complete visual surveillance of operation, but with an outwardly closed product guidance. In this way, entry and exit of dust is completely prevented during normal operation as well as when removing samples. Accordingly, it is possible to operate an individual apparatus as well as an entire group of semolina cleaning apparatuses with circulating air. The air intake can be effected from above. |

A grain sorter for use in a rotary type rice hulling and sorting device comprising a hulling part, a pneumatical sorting part, sorting cylinders rotatably installed so that mixed rice grains may be fed from one end and the sorter rice grains may be discharged from the other end. The sorting cylinders have a large number of recesses formed on their internal surface and troughs for taking out the sorted rice grains received by the recesses which are installed inside the sorting cylinder. The troughs consist of (1), a plurality of troughs for taking out finished sorted rice grains of the sorted rice grains received by the recesses and (2) a plurality of troughs for taking out sorted rice grains, which must be sorted again, of the sorted rice grains received by the recesses. |

A double bank cleaner for granular material includes two spaced banks of cleaning decks mounted in a frame with a drive motor and rotatable eccentric positioned between the two banks so that the banks of decks can be gyrated in a flat, horizontal plane. An aspirator for the double bank cleaner is also disclosed, and which comprises a plurality of feeders each of which creates a curtain of granular material through which air is passed to remove dust and the like. |

A separating contrivance for separating cereals and similar grain product into at least three grain fractions and heavier impurities comprises two air-penetrable fluidized bed tables (2, 3) arranged one over the other and supported in fashion capable of being oscillated in relation to a frame, with a product inlet (9) leading to the upper fluidized bed table. At one end of the contrivance, and spaced away from the inlet (9), the upper fluidized bed table (2) is provided with outlets (10, 18) for the light and medium heavy grain fractions, while the lower fluidized bed table (3) includes outlet (27) for the heavy grain fraction. Adjoining the other end of the lower fluidized bed table (3) is an outlet (16) for the heavy impurities such as stones and the like. In order to achieve a practically complete sorting of the heavy impurities, provision is made so that the two fluidized bed tables (2, 3) are supported independently of one another and are driven by separate oscillating drives (7, 25). |
