The Durum Wheat Processing Mill Complex

The durum wheat processing mill secures controlled high-quality semolina production of 240 tons per day. The mill is supported by silos of total storage capacity of 40,000 tons of durum wheat.

 

Durum wheat grains are delivered, applying the following steps:

  • Loaded trucks with durum wheat grains are weighed upon arrival.
  • Sample is taken from selected points of the load and is analyzed on the spot.
  • If requirements are satisfied, trucks are cleared to unload. If no, load is rejected.
  • Durum wheat grains are unloaded in the durum wheat processing mill reservoir and are transferred to its complex.
  • Inside the complex, with help of a magnet (retains metal shavings), a separator (sifts straws, stones and metal objects) and an aspirator (removes beard and dust), minimize impurities.
  • Durum wheat grains are transferred and stored in the durum wheat storage silos under adequate ventilation conditions.
  • Durum wheat grains are transferred to the durum wheat processing mill complex
  • Inside the complex, apart from the help of the prementioned machines, stone separators (remove the remaining stones), optical sorters (remove other cereal grains) and cylindrical sorters (remove broken durum wheat grains), eliminate the remaining impurities.
  • Durum wheat grains are transferred to the dampeners where are moisturized with proportionate amount of water in order to be properly prepared for decortication.
  • The moisturized durum wheat grains are transferred to the decorticators where their outer layers are removed. The specific layers which constitute the decortication - process bran become product for animal feed as they are unfit for human consumption.
  • The decorticated durum wheat grains are weighed before milling and transferred to the roller mill machines.
  • The roller mill machines crush the decorticated durum wheat grains, creating numerous granules of various sizes.
  • The granules are transferred to plansifter sieves and semolina purifiers where, based on their size, are sorted transferred to the respective roller mill machines.
  • The process is repeated until all granules obtain suitable size for pasta production. Through this process, semolina and milling process bran (is used in the whole wheat pasta production) are produced.
  • Semolina and milling process bran are weighed separately and are transferred to the respective middling storage silos, where they are stored.
  • From the silos, they are transferred to the pasta press.
