Groat production (groat workshop)

A groats processing plant is equipment that allows you to turn grain and legume crops into groats products right on the farm or at a small processing facility, without relying on a third-party milling plant. TechnoMashStroy is a Ukrainian manufacturer of agricultural machinery that designs and produces a complete lineup of groats plants of different capacities — from compact farm units to industrial lines for processing shops — along with interchangeable parts for them.

Buying a groats plant is a smart move for anyone who wants their own groats production: for the farm's own needs, for feeding livestock or poultry, or for selling packaged groats on the local market. Having your own groats-production equipment cuts the cost of toll-processing grain at third-party facilities and gives you full control over the quality of the finished product.

EXTRA groats plant lineup

The equipment is built on the principle of grain disintegration: the product is crushed and hulled by the impact-abrasive action of the rotor, which produces high-quality groats with a minimum amount of broken kernels and dust.

• EXTRA-200 groats plant (220 V) — a farm model for household use or a small farm. Runs on a standard household 220 V mains supply, compact, and easy to operate and install.
• EXTRA-350 groats plant (380 V) — a higher-output farm model for processing larger volumes of grain, designed for a three-phase 380 V supply.
• EXTRA-500 groats plant (380 V) — an industrial unit for shops and businesses that process grain into groats on a continuous, commercial basis.
• EXTRA-1000 groats plant (380 V) — the most powerful industrial model in the lineup, built for large-scale groats production.

Every model comes with a loading hopper, an intake conveyor and a finished-product discharge system, which makes it easy to integrate the groats plant into a production line together with bucket elevators, screw conveyors or storage hoppers. Moving up the range from EXTRA-200 to EXTRA-1000, drive power, throughput and the size of the working components all increase, so you can match the machine to seasonal processing of small grain batches or year-round industrial operation of a groats shop.

Which crops can be processed

EXTRA series grain huller-disintegrators are used to produce groats from the following crops:

• buckwheat — buckwheat groats;
• barley — pearl barley and barley grits;
• peas — split peas (using an interchangeable rotor with the corresponding screens);
• wheat, oats, corn and other grain crops — depending on the screen fitted and the rotor settings.

This makes the equipment a versatile tool both for a farm's own needs and for launching a small groats-packaging business.

Where EXTRA groats plants are used

Groats production equipment is used by:

• farms — to process their own grain into groats for household consumption and for sale;
• livestock and poultry operations — to get crushed and hulled grain as part of the feed ration;
• mini processing shops and food-processing businesses — to launch their own line of packaged groats under their own brand;
• grain elevators and grain-processing enterprises — as extra capacity to diversify production.

Advantages of TechnoMashStroy groats plants

• Made in Ukraine. The equipment is manufactured in-house, which ensures quality control at every stage and ready availability of spare parts.
• Sturdy build. A welded frame and housing made of quality steel withstand long-term operation under daily production loads.
• Disintegration technology. A rotor with a set of screens delivers efficient grain hulling with minimal losses and a uniform groats fraction on output.
• A model for every need. From a standard 220 V household supply for home use to powerful 380 V industrial lines for processing shops.
• Upgradeable. Interchangeable rotors and screens let you reconfigure the groats plant for a different crop without buying new equipment.
• Service support. The manufacturer provides advice on choosing a model, installation and ongoing operation of the equipment.
• Easy maintenance. The design gives convenient access to the working chamber and rotor for cleaning, screen replacement and routine maintenance without outside specialists.
• Cost efficiency. Moderate power consumption and a low processing cost per unit of grain make in-house groats production profitable even at small volumes.

Parts and additional equipment

For owners of the EXTRA-350 and EXTRA-500 groats plants, the catalog also offers an interchangeable rotor with pea screens, supplied complete with a puller. It lets you quickly reconfigure your existing equipment to process peas, expanding your product range without buying a new machine.

How to choose a groats plant

The right model depends on your processing volumes and the power supply available on site. For a household or a small farm with a 220 V supply, the EXTRA-200 is the right fit. If you need higher output and have a three-phase 380 V supply, consider the EXTRA-350, EXTRA-500 or EXTRA-1000, depending on your planned groats production volumes.
