Grain crushing apparatuses and processes

A method for processing grain without rupturing a germ pouch, the method comprising the following steps in series:

• a) preparing the grain for storing, said preparing comprised of harvesting and combining the grain and cleaning the grain by removing non-organic rocks, dirt, and excess silage;
• b) placing the grain in a long term storage elevators and/or a grain lot;
• c) storing the grain in the long term storage elevators and/or a grain lot;
• d) providing a device that can incrementally crush the grain into a group of multi-sized pieces of the grain wherein the incrementally crushing device includes a plurality of locator blocks which control or maintain a spacing or gap in between a set of teeth on two opposing rollers, the spacing or gap sufficient in size to protect the germ pouch from rupturing by tightly controlling the size of crushed grain;
• e) pre-adjusting the spacing or gap in between the set of teeth on the two opposing rollers;
• f) transferring the grain from the long term storage elevators and/or a grain lot to the incrementally crushing device;
• and
• g) incrementally crushing the grain in the incrementally crushing device with at least one pass through the incrementally crushing device which transforms the grain into a group of multi-sized pieces of the crushed grain
• wherein the method protects the germ pouch with the spacing and thereby prevents the multi-sized pieces of the grain from releasing oils and becoming rancid.
