Brief Introduction:

　　Based on the structural characteristics of quinoa, China Win Tone Company has developed quinoa peeling machine and quinoa polishing machine and also applied it to the dry quinoa processing production line to improve the traditional processing technology with washing and wet method. This technical project has been used in Yunnan province in China, and also put into use in many countries and regions including foreign countries like Bolivia, Peru and Argentia.

　　Technology Process

　　The whole quinoa processing plant needs 6 steps, here are the main equipment in the quinoa processing:

• Aspiration Channel:Used for the separation of products with different specific gravities. The aspiration channel is primarily used to remove product particles with a lighter specific weight from a wide variety of cereals
• Dry Stoner:Used for the separation of stones in a continuous process. Due to its mode of operation, the dry stoner separates specifically heavier components from the lighter accepted product.
• Indented Cylinder: Primarily used for cleaning. Alternatively, the indented cylinder is also used for sorting. By means of rotation, the indented cylinder sorts a wide variety of grains lengthwise and thus differentiates between hulled and unhulled grains.
• Circular Screen:Used in oat, wheat, rye, spelt, barley, maize, soya, pea, buckwheat, millet and rice mills as well as in silos for grain cleaning. The screens can be used to remove coarse and fine impurities from the grain as well as to classify products into different sizes.
• Colour Sorting Machine:Used for achieving the highest possible quality of the final product, which equipped with different cameras depending on the application. Colour differences, different surface discolouration and concealed damage, e.g. below a husk, can be detected.
• Scourer:Used for removing the saponins in a dry process without the use of washing drums. As no fresh water is required, waste water is not produced.

　　Technical Process:

　　The complete set of dry quinoa processing equipment can be divided into multiple processes such as raw grain cleaning, stone removal, hull removal, saponins removal, quinoa polishing, quinoa grading, and color selection. The all-dry processing technology used is better than wet processing to maintain the quinoa flavor and reduce nutrient loss. In addition, our company has improved the equipment for the cleaning section of quinoa raw grains to select shriveled seeds to improve product quality.

　　Features and advantages:

　　1. All dry processing technology

　　Our company introduces all-dry quinoa processing technology. Not only can it effectively preserve the value of Lei wheat than wet processing, reduce water consumption and drying links, but also protect the environment and improve product market competitiveness.

　　2. Specific gravity screening technology

　　In response to the complex impurities of quinoa, the cleaning process was strengthened, and specific gravity screening equipment was introduced to remove the shriveled seeds and improve product quality.

　　3. Using self-developed emery roll quinoa peeling machine

　　The application of the sand roller quinoa peeling machine and quinoa polishing machine developed by China Win Tone Company in the quinoa processing technology of quinoa not only improves the yield of the finished product, but also improves the quality of the quinoa. The surface of the processed quinoa is clean to reduce the loss of the original flavor of quinoa.

　　4. Automatic control system

　　Combined with corn, millet, rice and other processing technologies, our company introducing dust removal and automatic control systems to accurately control quality to make sure processing workshop dry, clean and dust-free, and design the quinoa processing plant as a work of art.
