Flour is a powder made from wheat. According to the amount of protein content, flour can be divided into high gluten flour, middle gluten flour, low-gluten flour and flour without gluten. Wheat flour is the most important food ingredients in Oceanic, European, South American, North American, Middle Eastern, North Indian countries. The situation of world wheat flour production is mainly depending on the production of wheat and the demand for the wheat flour. But, how the wheat flour is produced? Actually, the wheat flour production process is not complicated. But, in order to produce high quality wheat flour that can meet all the standards, it is extremely important to have suitable wheat flour mill machinery.

- Wheat Milling Process
The milling process of wheat flour is as follows: crushing the wheat grain, grinding it step by step, scraping the endosperm off the bran, separating the endosperm from the wheat husk and wheat embryo, and grinding the endosperm into flour of certain fineness. The cortex of wheat is relatively tight and soft. (Related Post: Flour Grinding Machine Manufacturers >>)
The wheat cortex is relatively tight and soft due to the tissue structure. Under the same pressure, shear force and cutting force, the particle size is different when it is crushed. Then, screening can be adopted to separate the cortex and endosperm flour that are in different particle sizes, which finally achieving the purpose of removing the bran and retaining the wheat flour.
