- Cleaning, drying, and grading: Initial cleaning removes impurities, while drying and grading ensure the oats meet quality standards.
- Dehulling and cleaning: The hulls are removed, and the oats are cleaned again to eliminate any remaining impurities.
- Groats to pinhead: The cleaned oats are cut into smaller pieces, known as pinheads, facilitating further processing.
- Pinhead to oatlets: Pinheads are further processed into smaller, more uniform oatlets, which are easier to cook and use in various products.
- Packaging and distribution: Finally, the oatlets are packaged in moisture-resistant containers and distributed to ensure they reach consumers in optimal condition.
