How is flour turned into wheat?

ElEVATOR - storage and care of wheat.PRODUCT CONTROL -chemists inspect and classify wheat, blending is often done at this point MAGNETIC SEPARATOR - iron or steel articles stay here. SEPARATOR - reciprocating screens remove stones, sticks and other coarse and fine materials. ASPIRATOR - air currents remove lighter impurities DE-STONER DISC SEPARATOR -barley, oats, cockle and other foreign materials are removed.

SCOURER - beaters in screen cylinder scour off inpurities and roughage.TEMPERING MIXER -moistens wheat evenly.

TEMPERING - water toughens outer bran coats for easier separation- softens or mellows endosperm.

BLENDING - types of wheat are blended to make specific flours.IMPACT SCOURER - impact machine breaks and removes unsound wheat.FIRST BREAK - corrugated rolls break wheat into coarse particles. broken wheat is sifted through successive screens of increasing fineness. air currents and sieves separate bran and classify particles (or middlings).REDUCING ROLLS- smooth rolls reduce middlings into flour.A series of purifiers, reducing rolls and sifter repeat the process.BLEACHING - flour is matured and color neutralized.from the sifter . . .from the sifter . . .from bulk storage . . .
