Milling is the most common processing technique for wheat grains for human consumption. Roller mill is the primary technology used for milling wheat into flour.
The technology is a gradual reduction system so that damage to the components of wheat is minimized during four milling.
The gradual reduction system of flour milling is the process of taking the whole wheat berry and via a series of grinding and sieving stages, producing white flour of the desired quality and yield.
This gradual reduction is done to control the level of starch damage.
The gradual reduction system has enabled the production of flours of low ash content and high yield. Specialist, high quality flours are produced by extracting high purity sub-products from within the process.
Many variations in the detail of the process flow sheet emerged in the years after the perfection of the gradual reduction system. This was due to the varying requirements of customers and even political directives.
