What are the characteristics of the Wheat Flour Milling Plant?

Wheat Flour Milling Is The Basis Of Wheat Processing Line

Wheat is one of the world's three major food crops, and the world's Wheat Flour Milling is mainly concentrated in Asia, the Russian Federation, North America and Europe. 70% of the total wheat flour milling is used for food processing and food, mainly for processing flour, 15% for feed, 6% for seeds, 4% for various uses, for other purposes Accounting for about 5%. Australia, France, Canada, 40% of the wheat used as feed, the United States, Russia is also basically 20% - 30% of wheat as a servo.

The world's starch production of 46 million t, of which 8% of wheat starch. At present, the annual output of starch in Europe is about 8.2 million t, of which 30% of wheat starch. European wheat starch annual growth rate of about 8% -9%, will exceed corn starch.

Features of the wheat flour milling plant

1. The wheat flour milling plant uses twice the processes of sifting, once destoning, dampening and conditioning, increasing purification of the wheat and reducing brokens as well as ashes.

2. The new type of moisture control system is special for wheat flour plants, realizing automatic adjustment during the wheat flour milling process by measuring wheat moisture, wheat flow, and water flow. The automatic water valve adds water when the wheat comes and stops wheat there is no grain. The water flow increases with the wheat. It can also control precision and provide a history record. The system alarms when the wheat and water flow exceeds the standard.

3. The wheat can return to be ground again, increasing wheat flour yield.

4. The wheat flour milling plant uses twice the processes of hulling and the optional third hulling, increasing hulling rate and reducing ashes.

The Working Principle of the Wheat Flour Milling Plant

Nowadays, flour mills usually adopt advanced milling equipment and systematic processes to produce better quality wheat flour, and effectively reduce the construction cost of flour mills. The wheat flour mill helps to improve the quality of flour mills and the efficiency of flour processing. For those planning to open a flour mill, it is necessary to have a good understanding of the flour production process.

Purifying the Wheat

In the first stage, the wheat grains are thoroughly washed, which is to get rid of any foreign materials like the weed seeds, stones or dust particles or can damage the machines used. Before the grains arrive at the wheat milling machine, they are delivered to the facility, graded for their size, separated from metal debris, cleaned.

Then, the washed material is passed through an aspirator to suck clean any substance that is less in weight than the wheat grain and could have escaped the first cleaning stage.

What this means is that by the time the kernels arrive at the grinder, they are free of all inedible material and are of a desirable size.

Ground Wheat

Modern grinding devices are designed with a series of rollers that are spun by rotors. A wheat milling machine operates with these rollers just millimeters apart, allowing very little room for anything to pass unhindered. The rollers operate at different speeds and spin in opposite directions, pulling anything that passes through them with great force. Bulk grains are fed into these rollers, which make quick work of them. During operation, the grains are quickly crushed by the rollers, releasing the endosperm from the kernel interior.

Even though a wheat milling machine is pretty thorough, it won’t crush everything down into flour after just one pass. Most facilities will install several series of roller mills in succession to crush the material into smaller and smaller pieces.

Finishing Work

When the flour leaves the wheat milling machine, though, it is still not ready for consumption. White flour only consists of endosperm, so it can be sent along for purification and enrichment, but whole wheat flour requires the ground up bran and germ. Workers add these parts of the kernel back into the white flour, thereby creating a nutritious food. Then pack it. After packaging, it can be shipped to grocery stores and distributors across the country.
