Flour Mills

Flour making is one of the oldest milling types still existing. Floor mills convert the whole grain into flour and some also sieve it to refine. Though stone grinding is the oldest form of grinding, Roller milling is the most popular grinding technique today.

Stone flour mills - It is one of the oldest means of grinding. Earlier Rotary grindstones powered by animals were used for grinding grains. At times waterpower was used in the water mills to rotate the stones. Today electricity is used for the purpose. Stone mills are still considered as the finest flour producing equipment.

Rolling mill - It is one of the most common means of floor grinding. It uses steel rollers to crush the grain. During the process, the endosperm is sifted into different grades separating the bran and the germ from the floor. To get whole-wheat floor, all the sifted and separated ground elements of wheat need to be mixed.

Hammer mill - Also known as impact mills, they are used for smaller quantities and easier operations. The grain is reduced to fine flour texture with the impact of steel blades turning at high speed or by free rotating hammers. This type of mill is most suitable for spices.
