Technological effects of the wheat cleaning equipment of an industrial mill

Abstract

Romanian wheat, Dropia variety, was cleaned and tempered in an industrial roller mill. Technological effects of the wheat cleaning equipment were investigated as function of the total impurities removed from the cereals. The impurities separated through combi-cleaner and indented separators were 83.42 and 82.83%, respectively. Through scouring, the reduction of the ash content was 0.0225%, while the grains broken were 0.223%. Correlations between the physical parameters and the impurities content were also established. The results indicated negative correlations between thousand kernel weight and impurities content.
