Hammer Milling What is Hammer Milling? Hammer milling, utilized for size reduction, is favored for its high productivity and flexibility in grinding a wide range of products. In the cereal processing industry, hammer milling is used to transform whole kernels into flours. Unlike roller milling, which makes use of compression and shear [...]
Pin Milling What is Pin Milling? Pin milling is a size-reduction technology often used as an auxiliary grinding mechanism in flour mills and analytical laboratories. Pin mills use metal disks fitted with pins to efficiently and quickly break up materials.1 Compared to roller mills, pin mills offer the milling industry a means [...]
Roller Milling Also known as flour milling What is roller milling? Roller milling is one of many methods used to produce flour. It is a process used to separate the anatomical parts of grain kernels—like the bran, aleurone layers, germ and endosperm—and grind them down into fine flour particles. The flour is [...]
Wheat Kernel What is the wheat kernel? The wheat kernel, or wheat berry, is the grain portion of the wheat plant and the source of flour. It consists of three main parts—the endosperm, bran and germ—which are usually separated for different flours and uses. There are over 30,000 wheat varieties, the most [...]
Green Flour Also known as immature or freshly milled flour What is Green Flour? Green flour is a freshly-milled wheat that has not been given time to age. It is commercially used within 48 hours of being milled. The aging of flour refers to the physicochemical reactions, triggered by the presence of [...]
