PROEX FOOD RELEASES NEW SEED CORN PROCESSING OPTIONS

PROEX FOOD® announces a new seed-specific model of their iNTELLIPRO™ HUSKER along with additional tools for seed corn processors.

"We have received several inquiries from seed processors asking about making seed-specific versions of our iNTELLIPRO™ HUSKERS. These processors are looking for an easier-to-maintain husker with our digital technology offerings, designed to decrease cob soldiering and premature shelling. Additionally, they need units with reasonable lead times, and fast parts support," says Ross Lund, co-founder & CEO of PROEX FOOD.

Mr. Lund continues, "Seed processors are looking for modern technologies, and of course we have many. We also have our air pre-cleaner, our conveyors & distribution systems, metering hoppers, our extremely efficient infeed shaker, and even AI-powered robotic green ear sorting systems. We also offer our proprietary iNTELLIPRO™ SCANNING System." All of these add up to an attractive package for seed processors: new, available technologies made to improve product recovery and profitability."
These products are the result of rigorous R&D at PROEX FOOD, and collaboration with many customers and engineers. This includes several design engineers from the former Hughes Equipment.

Daniel Ghadiri, co-founder, President & CTO of PROEX FOOD explains, "Let's start with the husker. Making a proper unit for seed processors isn't as easy as taking our all-stainless design for sweet corn and manufacturing it out of galvanized steel. There are different considerations for unit geometry and feature sets. We discussed this with our highly-experienced engineering and delivery teams, several seed processors and with additional stakeholders with decades of experience in seed processing. We then designed our seed unit from the ground-up. This unit is purpose-built to exceed the expectations of seed processors."

Mr. Ghadiri continues, "We are also releasing all-new designs for our distribution systems, and have a new AI-powered robotic green-ear sorting option. The robotic options are much gentler than color sorting technologies, and result in reduced premature shelling of the cobs that need to be re-husked. This can be added to our central controls and integrated with our iNTELLIPRO™ CONNECT System to give better operational data and more to our customers."

PROEX FOOD seed offerings are made to help customers through a combination of intelligent design and availability.

Nick Maglio, Director of Marketing, explains, "It all comes down to two main factors. First of all, seed processors need to improve recovery. We hear of 30% loss commonly, and that can be improved. Second is speed. Our huskers typically ship within 3 months, and our husker rolls typically ship within a month (or less for common in-stock rolls). We are not only offering superior technology, we are providing best-in-class service and support. Plus, we continue to look for new value-driven solutions for modern processors.
