This document discusses wheat peeling and flour milling technology. It describes the process which strips off the wheat husk before grinding, leaving a purer endosperm and reducing husk contamination in the flour. The advantages are listed as improving flour quality and yield while simplifying equipment and saving water compared to traditional milling. However, it is difficult to completely peel the wheat due to its branched structure and groove, so some husk remains. Control of peeling and moistening also needs improvement to prevent clumping.

Advantages and disadvantages of wheat peeling and flour making
1. Principle of wheat peeling and flour milling technology
According to the structural characteristics of wheat grains, wheat peeling and flour milling is to peel
off the cortex, which accounts for 70% of the total amount of wheat outside the groin before
grinding, leaving a relatively pure "refined wheat", and then grinding and processing it into flour.
Because most of the wheat husks have been stripped, and then the wheat skin and endocarp in the
wheat groin are separated from the endosperm, which greatly reduces the task of stripping and
scraping, reduces the possibility of wheat husks mixed into wheat flour, and provides conditions for
maximizing the quality of wheat flour.

2. Cleaning technology and equipment for wheat peeling and flour milling
The cleaning process of wheat peeling and milling is as follows: raw wheat, sifting, gravity grading
destoner, selection, moisture, sifting, spraying, moisture bin, magnetic separator,peeling,air
selection,vibrating dampener, magnetic separation, net wheat bin, and IB mill.

Flow sheet of wheat cleaning and flour processing
The key equipment of wheat peeling and flour milling: 1. Vibrating moisture dampener. After
adding water, the wheat is stirred slowly in the vibrating machine body, and is fed from the inlet
port to the outlet port. Because vibration destroys the surface tension of water, water can be
absorbed quickly, and correspondingly reduces the moistening time. (2) wheat peeler. Under the
action of high-speed airflow, wheat grains rotate and roll in three-dimensional, which makes the
cortex peel off the wheat grains more completely. The whole peeling process consists of magnetic
separation, constant temperature, atomizing water, rapid conditioning, air separation, peeling and
screening.

3. Advantages and disadvantages of wheat peeling and flour making
Compared with traditional flour milling technology, wheat peeling and flour milling technology has
obvious advantages. With the help of machinery, it strips and scrapes wheat, removes several layers
of wheat skin with low toughness and strength, and then grinds and extracts wheat flour after
stripping and scraping, so as to achieve the purpose of rational and economic utilization of wheat
resources. The use of wheat peeling technology and improved flour milling technology can improve
the flour-making efficiency. The yield of low ash wheat flour and crude flour in the centrifugal
grinding system can be increased by 2%. At the same time, the sand impurities mixed in the outer
skin can be removed, and the service life of the tooth roll of the mill can be greatly improved. Since
70% of the wheat husk has been removed in the cleaning stage, the back road flow can be enlarged
appropriately and the production capacity can be increased by about 10%.
Because the bran source mixed with wheat flour can be reduced by 60%~70% by stripping wheat
husk ahead of time, the ash content of wheat flour can be reduced, and the color of wheat flour can
be improved, which lays a foundation for improving the quality of wheat flour. By peeling, wheat
not only removes a lot of dust, but also removes bacteria and fungi, and reduces the pollution of
wheat flour such as pesticide residues. Using peeler instead of wheat washing, wheat beating, wheat
scrubbing and surface treatment simplifies the cleaning process, saves about 80% of water and over
20% of equipment investment. In the process of flour milling, because the wheat cortex has been
grinded off before entering the mill, the grinded materials can be classified and sifted to put forward
more pure residue and wheat core. Therefore, the slag grinding system can be simplified, and the
cleaning facilities with large volume, complex structure and large exhaust volume can be omitted.
After peeling, wheat cracks due to endosperm structure, loosening and holding waste heat, which is
conducive to accelerating the penetration rate of water in endosperm. After adding water for 2 to 4
hours, the purpose of moistening wheat can be achieved. It can effectively adopt the advanced
technology of multi-export single-wheel dynamic moistening. The storage capacity of the dynamic
wheat is only about 25% of the traditional process, and the wheat spray water process before
grinding can be omitted. Peeling off the cortex and retaining the paste layer to the maximum extent
is the unique feature of peeling and flour making process. The aleurone layer contains albumin and
globulin. When dough is fermented, they have the properties of enzyme coagulation. Therefore,
wheat flour produced by peeling and flouring process is not only nutritious, but also has a larger
volume of bread. According to the determination of alpha-amylase by experts concerned, the ratio
of damaged starch content of the same raw material after peeling and traditional flour milling is 4:9,
which shows that the starch damage caused by peeling is far less than that of traditional flour
milling, thus greatly increasing the dough stability time and improving the baking performance of
wheat flour.
Because of the special structure of wheat grains, it is impossible to completely peel and process the
flour, and the drawbacks of wheat peeling and flour making technology are more prominent. Firstly,
there is no obvious separation layer between cortex and endosperm, on the contrary, there is a close
combination between them, which obviously can not peel off the cortex like the rice hulling method.

At the same time, because wheat grain has a groin which contains 1/4-1/3 of the whole epidermal
tissue and irregularity of its shape, it is difficult to peel off the cortex including the groin without
breaking the endosperm. Secondly, because of the uneven peeling, the wheat bark still retains seed
coat, especially about 30% of the bran in the wheat groin needs to be removed in the flour road.
Because the exocarp with high fibre content is peeled off, the bran entering the flour is thin and
fragile, the Endosperm on the bran is difficult to scrape, and the seed coat with pigments is not
peeled off. It is more difficult to separate from wheat flour than the traditional method. Mixing into
wheat flour affects the color and ash. Thirdly, peeling and moistening part of the endosperm starch
exposed, high viscosity, in case of power failure, public rest, wheat arching and caking which will
result difficulties in inter-flour processing. Because of the short road and strong grinding, the
processing accuracy is low. When the Powder yield is less than 4% than that of foreign advanced
traditional technology, the total ash content is higher than 0.1%. Because of the distinct structure of
wheat and brown rice, it is easy to strip the outer skin of wheat grain, excluding wheat furrows. It is
difficult to strip the outer skin completely without harming the endosperm. The control of watering
and moistening before peeling still needs to be improved. Some peeling machines will inevitably
block the screen, reduce the rate of leaking wheat or peeling, and arching of storage barn. All of
these need to be improved by automatic control technology. The change of wheat grain properties
after peeling and the subsequent research on the technical characteristics and technological settings
of grinding rollers need to be further improved.
