Immediately after that cleaning process, the cherry pits get heated up to a minimum of 55 degrees Celsius (131 Fahrenheit) over a period of up to 24 hours. To the current state of knowledge, after this process the pits are not germinable. The moisture then contained in the pits is measured at 7 to 8% after drying. After this mechanical cleaning (without using any chemical matters other than water), and the thermal treatment afterwards, the cherry pits are suitable as filling material for thermal pillows. Spelt husks (husks of the plant triticum spelta), origin from Germany: After the dehulling process (separation of kernels and husks), the spelt husks pass through a multi-level purification. Dust, heavy particles, and foreign particles get separated by sieves and aspiration. The spelt hulls get sorted by shape and weight. The moisture content is about 8-10%. By this tide mechanical cleaning, the spelt husks are then suitable as filling materials for pillows.
