Custom Wheat Milling Process for Your Flour Mill Plant

Home > Learning Lab > Wheat Flour Mill Top Picks >

In the modern grain processing industry, wheat milling is no longer a simple grinding process, but a systematic project integrating process design, wheat flour machinery configuration, energy consumption control, product customization and market adaptation. This article focuses on the complete wheat milling process, combined with different production capacity scales above 5–200TPD, to provide industry investors with practically implementable process configuration and investment reference schemes.

Complete Wheat Flour Milling Process

The complete wheat milling process consists of multiple key links, each of which directly affects the quality and production cost of wheat flour, and is also related to the investment cost, equipment selection and core quality control needs of the wheat flour plant. The details are as follows:

Cleaning Section

Incomplete cleaning will accelerate the wear of grinding rolls, damage of screens, reduce the flour extraction rate and whiteness, and even cause potential safety hazards of the flour machine.
Adopt a multi-stage combined cleaning process of primary cleaning sieve → vibrating sieve → destoner → magnetic separator → air separation, equipped with online automatic monitoring devices, with impurity detection frequency not less than 2 times per hour, to ensure the stable qualification of cleaned wheat entering the mill of the flour mill plant.

Conditioning & Tempering

Low moisture will easily cause bran breakage, increased ash content and higher power consumption of the wheat processing plant; high moisture will easily lead to material bonding and difficult sieving, and raw material loss can increase by 1%–3%.
Hard wheat: tempering moisture 14.5%–16.5%; soft wheat: tempering moisture 13.5%–15.0%, combined with online moisture detector, dynamically adjust according to wheat bulk density, hardness and grinding status to achieve stable tempering for the wheat mill.

Milling Section

Adopt the combination of skin milling, slag milling, core milling and purification systems, with multiple grinding and classification sieving. Adjust the number of grinding passes, grinding roll slope and gap according to the product positioning such as general flour and special flour, so as to realize fine stripping and classification purification of endosperm in the flour mill.
Special Grade 1 flour: ash content ≤0.55%; general standard flour: ash content ≤1.10%; wet gluten content of steamed bun flour and dumpling flour is usually 26%–32%, and that of bread flour can reach more than 30%. The rational configuration of the flour making machine in this section is crucial to product quality.

Sifting, Blending & Packaging

Insufficient sieving efficiency will lead to high ash content and quality fluctuation; manual packaging in the wheat milling process is inefficient, with large errors and high labor costs.
Adopt the combined process of high square plansifter + air separation purification, equipped with automatic flour blending system and packaging line; the measurement error of 25kg specification packaging is controlled within ±0.2kg, meeting the general industry standards of the flour processing plant.

Through the refined configuration of each section of the wheat flour production line, on the premise of complying with the national wheat flour quality standards, the flour extraction rate can be stabilized, energy consumption can be controlled, and the return on project investment can be improved.
