Wheat milling machine running in Hongdefa

Wheat flour is the most important ingredient in home baking and is the framework for almost every commercially baked product and pasta. Of the grains available for the production of flour, wheat is unique. It is the only cereal grain with sufficient gluten content to make a typical loaf of bread without being mixed with other grains. For example, for one to make rye bread a certain amount of wheat flour is usually present in the end product. Breads can be made without wheat flour but they are rather rare because the bread will not rise as high and therefore will be very dense.

Milling is the process used to grind wheat into flour. Flour is a value-added product derived from wheat, although rarely thought as a value added product today, because we seldom buy whole wheat to grind at home ourselves.

Rollers permitted a longer, more gradual extraction without the heat produced by millstones. This resulted in a larger amount of better grade flour from a given amount of wheat. The bran was more cleanly separated from the endosperm (the flour portion of the wheat) and produced a cleaner, more uniform flour. Rollers were also superior for milling harder bread wheats.

The middling purifier added to this premium flour by blowing out the bran particles from the middlings, or coarse farina particles released from the wheat endosperm by the roller mill action. The farina could then be further reduced, or ground and sifted repeatedly, to extract high grade, or patent flour.
