ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for utilizing a horizontal disc having a plurality of guide vanes extending in a curvilinear path with each vane terminating in an end portion that is substantially parallel to a tangent to the disc. A plurality of impact surfaces are provided in the same horizontal plane as the disc with each surface being substantially linear and extending transversely of the path of travel of a kernel impelled by the disc. The method includes locating the impact surfaces away from the periphery of the disc a sufficient distance so as to preclude application of crushing forces to the kernels as the latter pass between the disc and the surface. The kernels are fed onto the disc at a point near its center from an overhead position at a carefully controlled rate whereby each kernel is aligned by centrifugal forces as it moves along the guide vane so as to expose one of the side edges of the kernel for contact with one of the impact surfaces. Finally, the disc is rotated about a vertical axis in a direction opposite to the direction of curvature of the guide vanes at a speed sufficient to impel the kernels outwardly with sufficient force to crush the kernels and separate the germ from the endosperm.
