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.
