Flour Mill Plant-Water Content Control And Adjustment Of Wheat
Water content control of raw material-wheat in Flour Milling Plant can be realized by adding some water with heat to the wheat for a certain period of time, to improve the bio-chemical and physical characteristic for flour production, in one word, to get better quality flour and higher yield.
Water content control
1. Adding water: adding appropriate quantity of clean water into the raw material wheat.
2. Soaking progress: store the wheat in sealed silos or other rooms.
Why flour milling plant need water content control
1. Water content adjustment is done according to the standards of flour milling effect, it can ensure the quality of flour product.
2. Bran toughness is enhanced due to high water content; thus bran is hardly milled and can be separated from the flour very easily,
3. The wheat endosperm structure becomes more loosen, the power consumption of wheat flour production is lowered.
4. Flour yield can be enlarged.
5. The characteristic of protein in wheat flour is slightly changed to have better cooking and processing effect.
