Every miller knows that it is the quality of what goes in that counts. That is why cleaning grain is one of the most important steps in the milling process. Removing impurities makes the biggest difference to the quality of the final flour and makes an essential contribution to ensuring food safety. Vitaris is a modular system from Bühler that enables the miller to achieve a high-quality final product reliably and efficiently.
Milling plays an essential role in the food value chain by grinding grain so
that its nutrients can be more easily digested. Taking grain and turning it
into flour has been the miller’s job for thousands of years. But as simple as
the basic process of grinding may sound, achieving a high-quality final product
requires skill, experience and sophisticated machinery.
When wheat and other grains arrive at the mill, they contain many different types of impurities that have entered the mix at different stages. Metal, stones, weeds, other grains and general debris can all become part of the mix during growth, harvest, storage, and transportation. During the growing season, for example, too much rain can cause the wheat to become mouldy or it might be attacked by insects and diseases. Shrunken, broken, diseased and damaged grains have to be removed. If these impurities are left in the mix, it will affect the quality and odour of the final flour and may pose a health risk. Certain impurities also affect machine efficiency. Cleaning is, therefore, an essential step in the milling process and one that, ultimately, has the most significant impact on the quality of the flour.
