Wheat Scourer

In flour mills, the roller mill is used to break and crush the wheat. This is the most important machine of a flour mill. It consists of two pairs of parallel working rolls. The product that collects into the inlet glass moves the pneumatic pressure plates and the feed rolls start to feed the products homogeneously into the rolls. In the meantime, the gap between the rolls is reduced by pneumatic pistons and the product is ground by passing between the rolls. The bushings of the roller mills are spheroid casting and the rolls have conical arms.

In flour mills, the square plansifter is used for the classification of the product coming from the roller mill. It provides high sifting capacity in limited spaces. The sifter is used by hanging it to the ceiling using fibreglass hanging rods and it consists of three main parts: two sieve boxes housing the sifter frames and sieves and a drive section that houses the motor and the counterweights. Inside the sieve boxes, there are synthetic resin-coated frames and sieves. The product entering the plansifter can be separated into 7 different varieties. The use of wide frames can increase the sifting surface by up to 22%. Every sifter passage can fit up to 32 frames. For ease of transportation, the machine can be divided into three parts. The surfaces in contact with the flour are painted with food-grade paint and they can also be covered with stainless steel upon request.

The supersonic filter is used for the separation of air-dust mixtures coming from the aspiration system as well as pneumatic conveying systems. The air-dust mixture enters the machine and the dust remains on the filter bags. These filter bags are shaken out using pressurized air by the diaphragm system and the dust is collected at the bottom of the filter. For the removal of the dust collected at the bottom of the machine, a sweeper can be used as well as a conical bottom with a rotoflow.
