How to produce low ash Semolina Durrum wheat flour?

As one of the main raw materials in food manufacturing, the quality of flour is directly related to the taste, appearance and storage period of food. Low ash flour is an important quality indicator in wheat processing, and its preparation needs to consider the selection of raw materials, processing technology, equipment optimization and strict quality control. This article will delve into how engineering and management methods can be used to produce low-ash flour to meet the market demand for high-quality flour.

1. The concept and impact of ash

1.1 Definition of ash      

Ash refers to the non-volatile part of wheat flour, which is mainly composed of minerals, mineral salts, etc., and is a non-starch component of flour.

1.2 Effect of ash on flour Food color: High ash content will cause the flour to be darker in color and affect the appearance of food. Pastry quality: High ash content can affect the texture of pastry, making it harder and less flavorful. Processability: High ash content will increase the viscosity of the dough, reduce the processing performance, and affect the production process of pastry.

2. Key technologies for the production of low ash flour

2.1 Select suitable wheat varieties     

Choosing wheat varieties with lower ash content is the first step in the production of low-ash flour. Wheat with good abrasion resistance and fine flour is more likely to produce flour with low ash content.

2.2 Fine cleaning process

2.2.1 Selection of cleaning equipment   

Use advanced cleaning equipment, such as grading stone remover, magnetic separator, wheat wiping machine, etc., to effectively remove ores and foreign matter on the surface of wheat.

2.2.2 Cleaning process Formulate a detailed cleaning process, including screening, suction and other steps to ensure the thoroughness of cleaning.

2.3 Precision grinding process

2.3.1 Optimization of the mill     

The high-efficiency pulverizer is used to control the pressure, speed and other parameters of the grinding roller to reduce the increase of ash in the grinding process.

2.3.2 Multi-stage grinding     

2.3.3 The multi-stage grinding process is used to grind the wheat in stages to reduce the mixing of ash.

2.4 Precise grading technology     

Advanced grading equipment is used to classify the flour, so that the flour of different particle sizes can be removed in different grades to remove the higher ash content in a targeted manner.

2.5 Strict quality control     

Establish a sound quality control system to monitor and test each link to ensure that there is no excessive ash content in the production process.

3. Management means of ash reduction

3.1 Equipment maintenance and update   

Regularly maintain the production equipment to keep it in good condition. At the same time, with the continuous progress of science and technology, the equipment on the production line is updated in a timely manner and more advanced technical means are adopted.

3.2 Personnel training and management 

Strengthen the training of production personnel, so that they can better grasp the production process, be able to use equipment flexibly, and identify and solve potential problems.

3.3 Data analysis and optimization     

Establish a data acquisition and analysis system to detect abnormalities in time and optimize and adjust the production process to reduce ash content by monitoring key process parameters.
