1. Understanding TQSX-175 Grain De-Stoners

The TQSX-175 Grain De-Stoner is an upgraded commercial equipment designed for impurity removal in grain processing lines. Equipped with a hi-tech differential pressure gauge, it achieves precise control of air volume and screen pressure—outperforming standard de-stoners in accuracy and output.

Tailored for large-scale operations (from medium grain plants to oilseed production lines), it handles sunflower seeds, wheat, rice, beans, and other granular materials. Its core function is separating heavy impurities from raw materials, laying a foundation for subsequent processing and protecting downstream equipment. It is an indispensable tool for modern, efficient grain processing.

2. How TQSX-175 Grain De-Stoners Work

The TQSX-175 operates via a systematic, four-step process combining wind force and vibrating screen technology: 

2.1 Material Feeding

Raw materials are fed uniformly into the machine, ensuring steady distribution across the screen to avoid congestion and ensure consistent de-stoning.

2.2 Precision Air Volume Control

A hi-tech differential pressure gauge precisely adjusts air volume and screen pressure—keeping grains floating while separating heavy impurities.

2.3 Vibrating Screen Separation

An inclined vibrating fish-scale screen vibrates to move lighter grains upward, while heavy impurities sink to the bottom (due to gravity) and are prevented from re-mixing by the fish-scale design.

2.4 Impurity Discharge

Heavy impurities are continuously discharged, and cleaned grains move to the next processing stage—enabling non-stop, automated operation.

3. Core Advantages of TQSX-175 Grain De-Stoner

3.1 Upgraded Precision Technology

Its integrated differential pressure gauge enables accurate air and screen pressure control, eliminating manual adjustments and ensuring stable, efficient performance superior to standard de-stoners.

3.2 97% Stone Removal Rate & Equipment Protection

The combined action of the vibrating fish-scale screen and precision wind control achieves a 97% stone removal rate, separating stones, clods, glass, and metal. This protects downstream equipment (hullers, packaging machines), reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

3.3 Multi-Material Compatibility

Adjustable screen inclination and air volume adapt to sunflower seeds, wheat, rice, beans, and other grains—eliminating the need for multiple specialized machines and meeting diverse processing needs.

3.4 High Capacity for Large-Scale Production

With a 4500-6000 kg/h capacity for sunflower seeds, it supports continuous large-scale operations, enabling processors to scale production, fulfill bulk orders, and boost throughput without compromising quality.

4. Applications of TQSX-175 Grain De-Stoners

4.1 Sunflower Seed Processing Lines

Ideal for de-stoning sunflower seeds before hulling, improving kernel quality and reducing huller wear.

4.2 Grain Processing Plants

Removes impurities from wheat, rice, and corn to ensure finished product purity and meet food-grade standards.

4.3 Oilseed Processing Facilities

Integrated into oilseed lines (soybeans, rapeseed) to protect oil presses and ensure crude oil quality.

4.4 Agricultural Cooperatives & Farms

Cleans harvested grains to reduce post-harvest losses and convert raw materials into marketable products.
