ut unduly cutting or reducing its size. For the production of aking grits it is critical that germ is removed cleanly while producing large chunks of grits. The machine has simple but very effective design that can be described as follows: The tempered corn at high moisture level of 2% enters the machine. The germ andhull are removed through attrition as the moist corn is pushed through between the conical-shaped cast iron rotor running within housing of similar shape. The scrubbing and scouring action between the cone rotor and housing not only loosens hull and removes Fig. 1 Dehuller and degerminator.

The cone-shaped rotor surface is divided into three different surface congurations (Fig. . The smaller end, being the front end, has an auger shape, whereas the middle part has knob-shaped surface. The remainder surface leading up to the discharge end has studs. The housing or casing has two perforated screen plates on each side, but the rest of the inside surface area has knob-shaped plates. side view of this machine is shownin Fig. 1. The screen perforations allow the loosened hulls, germ, and some small parts of the kernel to fall out, while the larger grits are carried through to the tailend of the machine. weighted gate is located near the tailend of the machine that allows the discharge of the larger grits. The loading of the tailgate can be varied by means of weight. The loading affects the outow of the discharged material; thus, its regulation will inuencethe severity of the action. Additionally, shifting lever, located near the discharge end, allows varying the clearance between the rotor and the casing while the machine is inoperation. Thus, by manipulating the discharge gate loading and clearance between the rotor and casing the Beall degerminator can be adjusted to provide hi
