Different Wheat Flour Production Types

For establishing a wheat flour mill plant, you must understand the type of wheat flour to be produced. There are many kinds of wheat flour recognized in the world. The following ABC Machinery will take you to understand their classification and use, and tell you how to choose the right cost-effective and high-quality flour processing equipment. Hope to give you some guidance and advice on your business plan.

The Classifications of Wheat Flour

• All-purpose flour:

This is a kind of wheat flour that is most widely used around the world. It is grinded from the wheat kernel (endosperm) that is separated from bran and germ in the wheat milling process. As this kind of wheat flour is manufactured from the mixture of hard wheat and soft wheat, therefore it is called “all purpose”. It is usually used to make cakes, yeast breads, cookies, pastries, many types of Chinese food, etc.

In China, all-purpose wheat flour is also classified into Grade 1, Grade 2, Standard and Plain Wheat Flour.

All purpose flour contains a lot of nutrient elements, such as iron, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B (folic acid) and niacin.
 

• Bread flour:

As its name indicates, this kind of wheat flour is mainly for baking bread. Depending on protein content, bread flour is divided into high gluten flour, plain flour and low gluten flour. High gluten flour contains >35% of wet gluten, plain flour contains 28%-34%, while low gluten flour contains <28%. Traditionally bread making adopted high gluten wheat flour.

• Cake flour:

Cake flour is specialized for making cakes. It meets the following requirements: moisture content does not excess 14%, wet gluten content between 22% and 24%, can go through CB42 sieve, etc. In fact, cake flour also belongs to low gluten flour (gluten content<28%), since in the concocting of cake batter, protein will absorb the moist in flour and form gluten; as a result, the forming degree of gluten determines the quality of cakes.

If the forming degree of gluten is insufficient, it may cause low strength of cake frame, and the low strength is not enough to stand the starch, sugar, etc. in raw material; as a result, cake structure will be dense, not in loose structure, and the volume is small. If the gluten forming degree is too high, the gluten will capture the water in eggs, and the cake structure will be rigid and not soft.

High-quality Flour Produced by Wheat Flour Mill Machine

• Cookie flour:

The flour for making cookie requires low elasticity, tenacity and extensibility of gluten, but plasticity must be good. Therefore low gluten wheat flour and plain flour are good choices for making cookies.

• Whole wheat flour:

This kind of wheat flour is milled from the whole kernel of wheat, which means before flour milling, the endosperm is not separated from bran (different from all-purpose wheat flour). Because of the existence of bran and no additives like gluten fortifier or brightener, whole wheat flour is much healthier than all-purpose wheat flour.

• Self-rising flour:

The self-rising flour is a kind of all-purpose flour that has been added certain amount of additive which can produce gas (usually yeast powder or other raising agents). It is much more convenient to use at home or field working.
 

There are in fact some other types of wheat flours. No matter which type of wheat flour you want to produce, we can offer you the complete wheat flour production plan. Contact us to get more details.

Correctly Select Flour Processing Machinery to Establish Flour Mill

It is wise to choose flour processing machinery with good economy. Investors should not only consider the purchase price when purchasing flour machinery, but also consider from a long-term perspective whether the equipment is well-used, whether the equipment is frequently maintained, etc., because the quality and performance of cheaper machinery is not necessarily good.After purchase, it may consume a lot of raw materials, high energy consumption, and more trouble maintenance costs, especially some parts of the machine have short lifespans, high maintenance costs, and the flour machine itself is easily damaged and consumed. These factors may cause the use cost of the whole flour processing machinery to increase greatly. After comprehensive consideration, the result of purchasing such equipment is not economical.

Use the Flour Machine Produced by ABC Machinery to Process Different Types of Flour

Therefore, investors should not only pay attention to the amount of one-time investment in the purchase of flour machinery. In fact, the later costs are not small. Investors should consider the economics of purchasing the equipment, on the premise that the technical requirements, quality requirements and performance requirements are met, the quality of the flour processed in this way is of high quality. Then, as far as possible, choose the cheap flour processing equipment, and consider the freight and other cost factors.

Modern Wheat Flour Production Process

In the design and construction project of wheat flour manufacturing mill, only according to the characteristics and requirements of flour production, reasonable arrangement and optimization of production process can ensure that the production process is efficient, stable and controllable. The following is an introduction to the general flow of wheat flour milling production line.

Gemeral Wheat Flour Milling Process

• Cleaning: The wheat is cleaned to remove impurities such as sticks and stones and other course and fine materials. The whole pure wheat is then passed for further processing into the conditioning bins.
• Tempering and conditioning: At this stage in the wheat milling process, soaking of the wheat in water takes place for easy removal of the bran. Conditioning is done before wheat flour milling process to ensure moisture content is uniform throughout the grain. Moisture helps to prevent the bran (outer layer) from breakage during milling.
• Gristing: Gristing refer to the blending of conditioned and cleaned wheat. At this stage different wheat batches are mixed to create the required specific kind and quality of flour.
• Separating: The grist goes through a series of rolls rotated at various speed levels. The rolls only split the wheat grain open to separate the inner white portion form the bran.
• Milling: The wheat is ground by a flour mill machine that crush it into pieces. It is then put through sifters from which the meal obtained starts out course. With repeated grinding and sifting, the meal becomes fine flour, wheat germ and wheat bran. These can be sold separately, used to produce different flours or used together to produce whole meal flour.
• Blending: Here, constituents are mixed together to produce different flours. For instance, a blend of wheat bran and white flour produce whole wheat flour.

When it comes to the successful operation of a modern wheat flour mill, investors need to be aware of the rapid updating of process technology. In this fast-moving industry, it's not easy to keep up with the latest processing techniques. However, a reasonable process design can improve the competitiveness of the flour mill.

Modern Flour Mills with Advanced Processing Technologies

Flour mills are constantly pursuing the goal of increasing productivity, enhancing product quality, and reducing production costs. In digitalized and automated wheat flour production line, new processing technologies are gradually changing the face of flour production.

• Low-temperature Milling

Compared to traditional milling methods, new high-efficiency milling technologies use low-temperature milling, which not only saves energy but also maximizes the retention of vitamins and minerals in the flour. For example, wheat flour mill machines are equipped with cooling chambers to reduce the temperature in the milling area. Production lines are fitted with cooling systems that reduce the temperature of the surface of the equipment and the milling area by transferring coolants such as liquid nitrogen or liquid ammonia into the milling equipment.

• Ultrasonic Cleaning Technology

Ultrasonic cleaning technology can be applied to clean various parts of flour milling equipment, such as flour conveying pipes, mixers, mills, etc. This technology utilizes ultrasonic high-frequency vibration to produce tiny bubbles bursting effect to remove the dirt and adhesion produced in the wheat milling process.

• Graduated Sieving Technology

Modern wheat flour manufacturing plants use highly efficient sieving equipment such as vibrating screens, airflow screens or centrifugal screens to control particle size through multi-stage sieving to obtain flour for different purposes. In the selection of sieve mesh, modern flour mills usually use non-metallic mesh such as nylon and natural silk (secreted by silkworm). Compared with metal mesh, non-metallic mesh has better elasticity and moisture absorption.
