Part 4/8:
Upon arrival at the processing plant, the freshly harvested corn undergoes a series of steps designed to ensure quality. Massive conveyor systems facilitate the unloading process, moving hordes of corn to a sorting area where experienced inspectors diligently sort the corn, discarding those that do not meet strict quality standards.
Once sorted, the corn undergoes husking in high-speed rotating rollers that deftly remove husks and silks without damaging the kernels. This meticulous approach continues through a cleaning process utilizing agitation tanks with surfactants to wash away dirt and impurities.
