previous blog<\/a>, the cleaner\u2019s purpose is to remove the FM (foreign matter) such as items larger or smaller than the oilseed. What\u2019s leftover is anything that is the same size as the seed. A cleaner will typically handle over 90% of the cleaning requirements for a plant. For some, this is more than enough to provide a clean product to extrude. With that in mind, why use a destoner at all?<\/p>\nThe main deciding factor requires knowing your supplier and the incoming quality of the seed. In some markets, the seed is typically very clean and only using a cleaner yields high-quality seed ready for extrusion. In other markets, we know there are suppliers that intentionally add stones and other FM to a bag to make it weigh more. In that case, of course we recommend a destoner. Any stone that makes its way to extrusion will eventually be ground, but the wear and tear on equipment and parts will cause premature wear and inferior product performance.<\/p>\n
What if you\u2019re not sure about your supplier? In that case, we\u2019d recommend leaving room for a destoner in the process line so that it can easily be added in the future. This is likely the best case for most facilities in the United States due to a clean supply chain. Overseas markets will typically require a destoner unless the supply chain is very reliable. With this in mind, we use our experience in various markets to help customers make an informed decision that best suits their needs.<\/p>\n
