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.
Read MoreThe flour milling process has evolved from wheat being ground between two large stone wheels (although this process does still occur in a few mills). In a roller mill the practice centres around separating the three components of a wheat seed – the white endosperm, the outer bran layers and the wheat

Some process will also involve conditioning, which means the wheat is left in water of a various temperature for a whole day. STEP 3: MILLING THE WHEAT. This is the process that transforms wheat
Read MoreJun 04, 2010 Dry milling and wet milling of cereal grains are used to produce ethanol and to partition the grains into an array of feed components (Figure 2).Wet milling is a more complex process and requires high-quality grains to produce high-value products suitable for human use. Some of the co-products, such as maize gluten meal, may be marketed in higher value markets such as the pet food
Read More“Prior to milling, cleaning and conditioning of the grain is the most important aspect of milling. The number of break passages can vary according to the size of the mill.If, for example the mill is designed with five passages for maximum extraction and the number of roller mills in each passage is below the certain minimum, this will not assist in the milling

Read MoreA word about extraction: if a miller starts with 100 pounds of wheat and yields 72 pounds of flour, that flour is said to be a 72% extraction. Whole wheat flour is 100% extraction. Extraction rate can be an indicator of both efficiency of milling and of quality of flour. The more flour a miller extracts from the wheat, the better, it would seem.
Read MoreStone-milling means all the grains are ground in one process, all their goodness is retained, and the whole stoneground grain imparts a lovely nutty flavour to the flour, with great texture. Roller Milling. As populations grew and the demand for more and better flour and bread grew, so a new milling
