Project Report on Roller Flour Mill [EIRI-0625]

The plant will have facility to produce, Maida, sooji,  Atta  and bran.  These products will be sold as per the guidance issued for Food  and Civil Supplies Department of the concerned  state.  The same  plant  can be used to process other cereals such  as rice gram,   dal   etc  However, attempt is made have to examine feasibility  and  profitability of processing  wheat  to  produce Maida,  Suji,  Atta  and bran. Flour mill serve  the  purpose  of processing  wheat to  convert it  into  flour.  Wheat grains are the seeds of the  wheat  plant which is able to grow is kinds of soil  and  under  widely  differing  climatic  conditions. The principle  wheats  of commerce belong  to  the  botanical  groups Triticum vulgane, Triticum drum and triticum compactum. A grain of wheat is avoid in shape and it  bears  at one end a number  of short  fine  Grains. The  grains  of  wheat  consists of  three main parts the  enveloping skins the embryo and   the endosperm.   The  relative proportions  of these parts vary  with the  plumpness  of the  grain but  the  average   composition of  wheat is 83% endosperm,  2.5% embryo and 14.5% enveloping skins. The enveloping   skins  are  pericarp  consists of  the eipdorumis,  epicarp and endocarp.  The pericarp represent  about 6%  of  the  grain. The seed coat consisting of  the  testa  the hyaline  layer  which  comprises  about 2%  of  the  grain.  The aleurone layer representing about 6.5% of the grain wheat show a wide range of analytical data which is not unexpected in view  of the  many  varieties  which  are grown  and  the  very different conditions under which they are cultivated.
