Milling OPERATIONS

Sifting through
the options
selecting the right sieve material
for maximum performance
by Mark fowler

In the daily operation of the milling
process, how often do you consider the
efficiency of the sieving material in your
sifter? Why did you choose the sieving
material that you are using? New sieve
designs and sieving materials have been
introduced in recent years making it important to consider what the best products are for each sieving application.
There are several considerations when
selecting the most appropriate material
for the multitude of sieving applications
in the milling process. From the type of
sieve to the type of wheat, selecting the
right sieving material impacts the efficiency and extraction of the mill as well
as the quality of the flour produced.
Material type, micron size and percent
open area are important considerations.
Sieve type, weave, durability and texture
are other factors that can impact the performance of the sieving material. Above
all, one important factor to always remember is that the milling process is a
food production process. Always confirm
the material selected is food grade and
complies with the regulations for food
contact surfaces for the governing agency with oversight of your facility.
Definitions
To select the right sieving material,
it is important to understand the terms
Sieves in the sifters are made from preformed
plastic rather than wood, meaning there is no
wood in the flour mill, which helps to
improve sanitation. Photo courtesy of Bühler.
