New Type Stone Peeler
New Type Stone Hull Peeler: Key to Efficiency and Quality in Milling
The New Type Stone Peeler developed by Tanış A.Ş., serving the milling sector since 1956, is an advanced technology solution that increases your flour quality and efficiency by precisely peeling the husks of wheat and other grains. These innovative peelers, produced in our production facilities based in Gaziantep with our experience in wheat, corn, and barley processing equipment, offer the key to efficiency and quality in modern milling processes.
The New Type Stone Peeler is an advanced technology equipment that optimizes the mill process by peeling the outer hull layer of grains through a controlled abrasion process. Its basic function is to precisely remove contaminants, microorganisms, and unwanted hull particles from the grain surface.
Its strategic role in the mill cleaning and tempering stage is critical. Wheat that has been cleaned of basic contaminants in the cleaning process is subjected to deeper processing with the peeler. This stage, as the final preparation before tempering, significantly increases tempering efficiency by enabling optimal water penetration into the wheat kernel.
The effects of hull peeling on flour quality and yield are evident. Controlled hull peeling minimizes bran mixing into flour during grinding, thus obtaining whiter flour with lower ash content. Additionally, removing the cellulose-rich outer hull can increase extraction ratio by 2-3%.
The most important difference of the new type design compared to traditional peelers is the specially developed stone surface technology. This technology provides a more uniform hull peeling process while causing minimal damage to the grain kernel. Additionally, precisely adjustable peeling degree offers optimum processing capability for different grain types and varieties.
The technical advantages of the new type design are particularly evident in abrasion control and peeling precision. The patented rotor design ensures grain stays in the peeling chamber for optimum time and pressure, performing uniform hull peeling. This design minimizes grain kernel cracking and breaking while providing efficient abrasion.
Special stone surface technology and abrasion principle form the heart of the New Type Stone Peeler. Specially selected mineral composite stones gently abrade grain hull while not damaging the valuable endosperm portion. This selective abrasion feature is vital for maximum yield and quality.
The precisely adjustable peeling degree mechanism provides optimum peeling degree for different grain types and qualities. Operators can precisely adjust peeling intensity according to wheat hardness, moisture content, and desired flour characteristics through a simple control mechanism.
Long-lasting components and durable structure provide reliable performance even in harsh mill conditions. Wear-resistant materials and vibration-dampening bearings ensure long-term, maintenance-free operation.
Design features providing low maintenance requirements include easily removable stone surfaces, self-cleaning ventilation channels, and easily accessible service points. These features significantly reduce maintenance time and costs.
Specially selected stone material properties and quality are the foundation of the New Type Stone Peeler’s superior performance. Specially formulated mineral composite stones provide optimum hardness and abrasion properties. These stones are neither too hard (could damage grain kernels) nor too soft (could wear quickly).
Wear resistance and long-lasting performance are guaranteed through special production techniques and material selection. Stone surfaces have 500-700 ton processing capacity under normal operating conditions and can be reused after a simple renewal process.
Surface configurations suitable for different grain types are available. Finer abrasive surfaces for hard wheat, more aggressive surfaces for soft wheat can be preferred. Specially designed surface profiles for other grains like barley and corn are also offered.
Surface geometry that increases hull peeling effectiveness has been optimized with computer-aided design. Spiral grooves and micro channels provide optimum grain movement on the surface, performing uniform and effective hull peeling.

Peeling Performance and Effect on Product Quality
Precise peeling degree and adjustment capabilities directly affect product quality. The peeling degree adjustable between 0-10% can be precisely adjusted according to desired flour quality. This flexibility provides ideal results for different flour types and customer requirements.
The effect of optimum peeling degree on flour quality is evident. Generally, a peeling degree between 4-6% provides a 0.05-0.1% reduction in ash content while significantly improving flour color. This is of critical importance especially in high-quality white flour production.
The gradual peeling mechanism of hull layers provides selective processing without damaging the endosperm. In the first stage, the outer hull (pericarp) and in subsequent stages, middle layers are removed in a controlled manner while the valuable aleurone layer and endosperm are preserved.
Performance settings can be optimized according to different wheat types and hardness. In different types such as hard durum wheat, soft bread wheat, or club wheat, optimum results are obtained by adjusting peeling degree and feeding speed.
Peeling Performance According to Grain Varieties
Different settings and expectations exist for hard wheat, soft wheat, and durum wheat. Hard wheats generally require higher pressure and longer processing time but provide more uniform peeling. Soft wheats require gentler processing.
Performance for barley and other grains requires special settings and sometimes special stone surfaces. Especially in hulled grains like barley, hull peeling can provide dramatic improvement in flour quality.
Peeling effectiveness varies according to grain moisture ratio. For optimal results, wheat is recommended to have moisture content between 15-16%. At lower moisture ratios, there is risk of excessive breaking; at higher moisture ratios, insufficient peeling may occur.
Optimum tempering time and moisture values directly affect peeling performance. Generally, 6-8 hours of pre-tempering before peeling is recommended. This enables easier hull separation while helping preserve the endosperm.
