How to Process Wheat to Flour

The process of wheat to flour is mainly to separate wheat endosperm from germ and wheat surface after the cleaning and water conditioning process. Then mill endosperm into flour. After that, different grades flour is made up according to various demands and flavor of consumers. Sometimes, it needs flour treatment to make flour for different end-use.

 

The first procedure of process of wheat to flour is to prepare clean wheat.
The impurities in the grains should be removed first. Some impurities adhering to the wheat surface such as dirt, fuzz and microorganisms can be through the friction and washing of wheat scourer and washer. Other impurities such as grass seeds, wheat straws and shells, dirt, stones, vermin and other grains can be cleared up according to the differences of wheat and impurities on size, shape, proportion and magnetism. Vibrator and plansifter is suitable for the separation process.

 

After the cleaning procedure, the kernels also need water conditioning. Some kernels are dry and some are wet. The dry kernels need add proper water while the wet ones need to be dried to make the whole kernels contain proper water to be suitable for milling. In this process of wheat to flour, dampener, conditioning silos and other machines are needed.

 

Then you can come to the milling process of wheat to flour. The modern milling flour processing factories generally are high buildings with several stories, inside of which there are milling machines, plansifter, purifiers and the conveying equipment of elevators and natural flow pipes. The whole system is a continuous producing process. After the milling process, the professional configuration process will go ahead. Last come to the flour packing and stacking procedure.
