METHOD FOR PRODUCING A GRAIN MASS, A SET OF EQUIPMENT FOR PRODUCING THE SAID MASS AND A GRINDER

The invention relates to the food industry. The inventive method for produci ng a granular substance involves the following: mellow grains having an undamag ed membrane and a hyaline layer are husked with the aid of a husker (5) in such a way that part of the outer layer of the kernel seed coat of the grain is removed in a quantity which is equal to or less than 5 % the initial weight of the grain, the integrity of the hyaline layer of the seed coat being preserved. The grain is cleaned with the aid of flowing water in a device (7 ) for cleaning grain from impurities and in a device (6) for washing the grain surface, which are part of a surface cleaning module (1). The cleaned grain is germinated in receptacles (40) of a grain germination module (2) by flooding the grain with a liquid and supplying air thereto with the aid of a perforat ed tube (43) of an air supply system. Germination of the grain is carried out, for example in an isothermal chamber (46) at a liquid temperature ranging fr om 20 ~C to 40 ~C, said temperature being uniform throughout the total volume o f the grain. Said germination is carried out until a humidity equal to or not less than 38 % and a pH of the liquid in the 3.4-6.0 are reached. The granul ar substance is produced with the aid of grain breaking machines (51) formingpa rt of a grain breaking module (3) by breaking the germinated grain using blade pressure knives until particles of not more than 0.4 mm are produced a t a temperature not exceeding protein denaturation temperature of the produced granular material.
