Corn husking machine
The corn husking machine is a highly efficient, automated device specifically designed for removing the outer husks from fresh corn. The equipment supports a continuous workflow encompassing automatic feeding, root cutting, tip cutting, silk removal, husking, and discharge. Its overall husking capacity reaches 7,000–12,000 ears per hour, boasting a husking purity rate of up to 98% and a damage rate as low as 1%.
We offer two types of corn husker machines: the air-blowing fresh corn husker and the rubber-roller husk remover. They are designed to meet the processing needs of fresh corn plants, fresh-cut produce centers, frozen food factories, and agricultural processing businesses.

Two types of corn husking machines
We offer two types of corn husk remover machines:
- Air-blowing maize husking machine
- Rubber-roller corn husker machine
Each of these two types of corn husking equipment possesses its own distinct characteristics and advantages, allowing you to make a selection based on your specific requirements.
Type 1: Air-blowing corn husker machine
The Air-blowing fresh corn husking machine is an automated processing equipment for fresh corn, particularly well-suited for clients with exacting standards regarding the visual appearance of the finished product. After the fresh corn is harvested, it enters the machine via a conveyor system, where the following operations are automatically executed:
- Root trimming
- Tip trimming
- Silk removal
- Air-blowing of loose leaves
- Husking
- Discharge
Features
- High product consistency
- Switchable leaf-retention mode
- High degree of automation
Working principle
This fresh corn husking machine employs a continuous, automated processing method. The entire process, from manual feeding of the fresh corn to the output of the finished product. The specific workflow is as follows:
Manual feeding → Automatic conveying → Root cutting → Tip cutting → Silk removal → Air-assisted leaf separation → Automatic husking → Finished product discharge
