Hulling Equipment

As seeds are transformed into sprouts, they shed their hulls (skin). Although the skin is harmless, it is unappealing to consumers and needs to be removed prior to packaging. However, the hulling process is often the place in the production cycle where pathogens are introduced to the product. Consequently, producers need to rely on proper protocols and equipment when removing skin from seeds.

ISS offers a line of hulling equipment that can be customized to separate and remove the hulls in any size commercial bean sprout operation. In some instances, ISS hulling equipment can even be used for both green and bean sprouts.

  • Effectively remove the hulls without damaging the sprouts
