vibronet-Gräf GmbH & Co. KG Cereal Damping Systems stands for innovative, high-quality products for food and feed “Made in Germany” since 1992. Its patented vibration dampening technology – for capacities up to 60 tph – drastically reduces cereal and pulse tempering time. Minimal kW consumption, significant economies due to reduced building space, as well as less bacterial growth characterize the performance of this system.
The clean design and optimized vibration force allow up to 12% water addition in one pass. This scientifically proven method ensures an increase in total yield and bright flours. The German Federal Cereal Research Institute as well as machines in operation worldwide prove optimal temper times to be 2 to 4 hours for soft wheat and 6 to 9 hours for hard wheat. A surplus of up to 1% total and up to 1.6% more yield on white flour was proven when using the optimal temper times. In feed processes, vibronet improves flake quality and increases gelatinization.
In addition, vibration dampening raises semolina output in corn and durum milling. For easy online control, the patented vibronet dampener can be easily combined with the online moisture control and water dosage VIB-MMS, the continuous throughput control or scale VIB-TS/ VIB-SMW, and the online VIB-SMC temper time control.
