PROEX FOOD® Shaker / Feed Pan

All-new design with new spring arms and a revised design creates a larger action zone in the same footprint, so corn is more evenly distributed for optimal husker performance.

Variable Position Shaker Addition

When purchasing an iNTELLIPRO™ husker with a PROEX FOOD® Shaker, we can add an additional feature to the pan to adjust its position relative to the husker bed.

Fits Hughes & A&K Footprint

Update the aging equipment in your line by replacing those units easily with the iNTELLIPRO™ Husker. Not necessary to change more parts of the line, unless, of course, you’re ready for that as well.

1.75” Shafts and Rolls

This more robust concept greatly reduces flex and soldiering (where cobs stand up and are caught between rolls). Helps with throughput, recovery, damage reduction, and mitigates unnecessary bearing wear.

Height Stands

Option to lift the huskers and/or infeed shakers off the ground with height stands. Most common configuration is 30”, and we quote all to your spec.

Modern, Hygienic Industrial Design

Experience has shown us what works and what can be improved. Not only does our new design showcase our modern approach, but this brings enables a more hygienic machine that is easier to properly clean – especially when also equipped with one-touch clamshell opening.

Standalone HMI Controls

We offer standalone control panels with HMI controls as an available option. Please also ask about complete line integration.

One-Touch Clamshell Opening

When ordered and built this way, the top portion of the husker has a pivot point and screw drive system installed. This allows for one-touch, mechanical opening / access by opening the top cover for optimal access to the roll bed. No need for a hoist or other methods to lift. Without this system, more disassembly is needed to access, and that access is not as open as when equipped. This system must be ordered prior to the start of unit build. Works best when husker or line has HMI controls.

Easy Roll Shaft Removal

2023 models and beyond are now equipped with hub-style couplings. Remove and service roll shafts much more easily, without having to adjust timing chains nor bearings. Faster and less labor intensive than any other husker in the market today.

Integrated Bed Tilt System

Simple method to adjust the pitch of the husker bed to adjust for varying crop conditions. Important on fresh and processed corn.

Automatic Lubrication System

Mitigate unnecessary damage by reducing daily tasks that are too often skipped in real-world execution. We can include an auto lube system for all huskers, fed by an integrated tank / reservoir. This way, you only need to fill the reservoir every week or so, rather than manually lubricating the system every day.

Roll Bed Customization

Many processors have different roll needs or combinations. No matter your output or common crop conditions, we have flexible roll options to use when outfitting your husker bed.

Seed Saver

Optional modification to the infeed shaker to collect pre-shelled kernels. Collection method and/or integration with waste removal designed to order. *Not available if equipped with a variable position shaker.

Pressurized Air Induction

Helps keep cobs on the rolls longer, and also helps to remove husks and silk during the husking process.

Water System – Solenoid

Some applications, products and product conditions benefit from some moisture being utilized in the husking process. This could be to help initiate grip or to help remove waste. This version has a controllable valve to adjust per crop conditions.

Water System – Basic

Similar to the solenoid system, only at a set light mist rate that is not adjustable.

Integrated Dosing System

Some fresh processors introduce kill steps and/or shelf-life extenders (often peracetic acid or chlorine) to their product, and we can automate that process step at the husker and/or the saw.

–

Integrated Nubbin Eliminator

System to help drop broken pieces, short ears, debris, or other undesirables immediately after husking and before additional processing. Helps reduce line footprint and a need to address later. Standard configurations are for cobs less than either 8 or 10 cm. We define your specific need at the time of order, and can discuss options outside of this standard range.
