US 5,310,123 A · Method for the production of milled grain products and grain milling system

Abstract

The invention is directed to a new method for producing milled grain products such as flour, semolina, middlings, etc., wherein the material is repeatedly ground by means of rolls and sifted with the system of advanced milling. It is suggested that the material be guided again at least twice via double-roll grinding stages with sifting between the double grindings, wherein the material is sifted in each instance following the double grinding. In an especially preferred manner, a corresponding new mill with at least two double-grinding passes is preferably constructed as an 8-roll mechanism (70). In an especially preferred manner. the new mill comprises a combination of eight- (70) and four-roll mechanisms (142, 151). A screening surface which is at least 20 to 50% larger is used for the double grinding.

Dependent claims

In a grain mill for producing milled grain products such as flour, semolina and middlings, with a system of advanced milling having a plurality of grinding passes and a plurality of sifting passes with plansifters and sifter divisions, respectively, the improvement comprising:

two grinding roll paris arranged sequentially without sifting therebetween, thereby defining a double-grinding pass, means for sifting directly followed the second of said grinding roll pairs so that a grain product will be subject to a double-grinding pass followed by sifting, said grain mill being constructed using only a plurality of such double grinding passes followed by sifting in each case and wherein said grain mill employs eight roll mills exclusively.
