  • Method and apparatus for dehulling milo
    Patent number: 5820039
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for removing hulls from milo berries is provided. The apparatus includes a first cylindrical shaped chamber having a plurality of abrasive grinding stones mounted on a shaft extending through the chamber. The outlet to the first chamber is connected by a suitable conduit to the inlet of a second, cylindrical shaped chamber having a plurality of wire brushes mounted on a rotor extending through the chamber. An aspiration system connected to the chambers removes hull particles that have been separated from the milo berries. As the milo berries sequentially pass through the chambers, the stones and brushes remove the hulls from the berries.
