Abstract
Whole grain kernels are admitted through an inlet at one end of a closed tubular vessel, and are entrained by a blade-type rotor in the presence of metered quantities of liquid, being accelerated so that they form in the vessel a whirling tubular veil which continuously travels lengthwise of the vessel towards an outlet thereof and wherein each kernel becomes uniformly wetted over its entire surface and moistened to a predetermined value.
