Grain mills are widely used in many fields. In the food processing industry, it plays a key role. For example, it grinds wheat and corn into flours of different precisions to provide basic raw materials for making common pasta such as bread, steamed buns, noodles, etc. After grinding oats, buckwheat, coix seeds and other grains, they can be used to make grain biscuits, instant drinks and nutritious porridge to meet people's pursuit of healthy diet; sesame and peanuts can also be ground into powder as pastry fillings to enrich the taste and flavor.
In the field of feed processing, corn, soybean meal, wheat bran and other grain raw materials are processed into powder by mills, which is an important step in making animal feed, which helps animals to better digest and absorb nutrients. It is also used in pet food production to provide energy and dietary fiber for pets. The brewing industry is also inseparable from grain mills. When brewing liquor, sorghum and rice are ground into powder to facilitate subsequent steaming, saccharification, and fermentation, so that starch is converted into alcohol and flavor substances; malt grinding in beer brewing can promote saccharification reaction and improve wort quality and yield. In addition, the pharmaceutical industry produces Chinese medicine pills and powders, and the chemical industry produces adhesives, coatings, papermaking, etc., and grain mills are also used to grind some raw materials.
There are many precautions when using a grain mill. In terms of installation and commissioning, it is necessary to choose a dry, well-ventilated and flat site for installation, and reserve enough space around for convenient operation and maintenance. Ensure that the electrical circuit is connected correctly, the grounding is good, and the voltage is stable. Before formal use, it is necessary to perform no-load and load commissioning, check the equipment operation status and adjust the parameters. During operation, it is necessary to select suitable grain raw materials according to the equipment performance and processing requirements, remove impurities and foreign matter, and prevent damage to the equipment.
At the same time, strictly control the feed speed and amount to avoid blockage that affects the grinding effect and equipment life. Operators must undergo professional training, be familiar with the operating methods and safety precautions, and operate strictly according to the regulations. In terms of maintenance, dust and debris inside and outside the equipment should be cleaned regularly to prevent material residues, regularly check the wear of components such as grinding discs, screens, belts, etc., replace severely worn components in time, and lubricate each lubrication part regularly according to the instructions to reduce equipment wear and extend service life.
In terms of safety, the equipment's protective devices such as belt guards and motor guards must be complete and effective to prevent operators from contacting moving parts and causing danger. If any abnormality is found during operation, immediately press the emergency stop button to cut off the power supply, and wait until the equipment stops completely before checking and handling it. When processing flammable and explosive grain raw materials, it is also necessary to install static electricity elimination devices, dust collection devices and other fire and explosion prevention measures to prevent fire and explosion accidents.
