What is a wet mill?
Wet Mill is both the cereal production process and a machine used for wet milling. The wet grinding process involves the use of water to break grains before milling. This allows the individual parts of the grain to separate from each other for easier harvesting. The wet mill process is a common method of grain harvest for food components, but dry grinding is more common for flour or ethanol production.
It is common to use a wet mill on various supply materials that are commonly called grain grains. The basic idea is that the material softens and disintegrates in water. When the power supply is milled, it will take less energy to crush it because it is already soft and more easily disintegrates into its ingredients. The food is placed in the tank filled with warm water and left to sit for one to two days. While in the water, food softens like its internal protein bonds are beginning to disintegrate. This water generally has a small amount of sulfur dioxide. This prevents warm and fountain food in harmful cultivationh bacteria. After the porridge leaves the tank, the water rich in starch is cleaned and densified for use for feeding or fermentation of animals.
porridge is very roughly grounded to complete its basic dissolution. This results in a warm and wet porridge, which is almost in the consistency of almost uniform. During this phase, there is any germ that is still connected to the food product, breaks apart. In the grain there is a germ of parts of the seed that would actually grow into another plant. This part of the grain is used to create most vegetable oils.
The next step in the wet mill process is the separation of germs from the rest of the porridge. The porridge is placed in cyclone tanks and spins. The lower density of the germ enables to separate from the top of the material to be pulled out of the mixture.
porridge is now mainly made up of fiber, starch and gluten. The material is again the ground, this time very thoroughly. After grinding with smIt moves over a series of screens and separates the thread from the rest. This fiber is proven several times to ensure its relative cleanliness and then produced for animal feed.
gluten and starch enter into the centrifugal, where gluten with a lower density breaks from the starch. Gluten turns into several products, both for humans and animals. Starch is converted into products such as corn starch or processed into corn syrup and dextrosis.
