Grains cleaning in flour mills

The correct conditioning or cleaning of grains is essential for their subsequent milling. Its function is fundamentally the separation of foreign bodies and the moistening of the grain.

We would like to emphasize that when designing each of the machines that make up the sector, we pay close attention to their cost and energy consumption in relation to the efficiency of their work.

In this way, our cleaning processes will never include unnecessary machines. It is important to note that there is no single machine that can do all the work for grain cleaning, meaning the cleaning process involves a series of different attempts to achieve the desired outcome.

Machines involved in the cleaning of wheat, corn, and other grains:

  • Pre-cleaning: Also known as preliminary cleaning, this step is carried out before sending the wheat to the mill. The main goal here is to separate products larger than the grain to be milled. This is done with our CPLG screen. If there is a need to also separate small particles, husks, and dust, the RSVM sieve with its air channel or tarara can be used.
  • First cleaning: This is the first cleaning done in the mill and before the grain is moistened. Machines used in this stage include the RSVM sieve, the RHS scouring machine, the SDA disc separator, the DAGH water doser, among others.
  • Second grain cleaning: This occurs after moistening and usually involves a RHS scourer or huller, which removes small husks that were loosened in the rest silos, significantly reducing potential contamination issues. To monitor production and yields, we also recommend adding a flow control scale at this stage.
