Overview

Komline-FluidQuip’s Germ Separation Cyclone Systems are engineered for reliable, high-efficiency performance in corn wet milling applications. Designed to maximize output with minimal floor space, these systems offer a compact footprint, long service life, and easy maintenance. With 6", 8", and 9" cyclone options available, each system is configured based on customer-specific flow rates and capacity requirements.

Benefits

High-Efficiency Germ Separation

  • Accurately separates germ from the slurry stream, ensuring maximum oil recovery and optimized starch yield.
  • Two-stage design (13 cyclones in first stage, 7 in second stage) improves separation precision.

Durable Construction

  • Cyclones made from 316 stainless steel, work-hardened by spinning for maximum structural stiffness and long life.
  • 15-5 PH stainless steel heads resist cracking common in welded designs, ensuring reliability and durability.

Easy Maintenance & Accessibility

  • Quick-disconnect couplings simplify servicing and cyclone replacement.
  • Externally mounted cyclones allow easy access for inspection and maintenance without system disassembly.
  • Optional isolation valves enable maintenance flexibility.

Compact & Space-Efficient Design

  • Installed on a painted carbon steel support structure, engineered to minimize vibration and reduce floor space requirements.
  • Single-pump operation between first and second stage via stainless steel headers and piping reduces equipment costs and simplifies system design.

Robust & Reliable Connections

  • Fluid-Quip Quick Release Couplings: All-aluminum housings with stainless steel hinge pins for durability.
  • Molded EPDM rubber seals withstand corrosive and high-temperature applications.
  • Rated for full vacuum or up to 150 psig (10.3 bar).
  • Interchangeable with most grooved coupling connectors, adding flexibility and ease of integration.

Key Features

The Germ Separation System delivers efficient, durable, and low-maintenance performance for corn wet milling. Its two-stage stainless steel cyclone design, vibration-minimizing structure, and quick-service couplings ensure maximum oil recovery, higher starch yield, and reliable long-term operation.
