Quadrumat Junior Laboratory mill

The Quadrumat Junior is a precision laboratory mill that yields flour and bran from
grain samples with extraordinary high capacity. The multi-step grinding process allows to
produce flours which are almost equal to commercially milled flours in ash content,
yield, and baking quality. The minimum sample requirement is 20 grams; howeer the
instrument can output !00 grams in approximately fie minutes with a flour yield of "!-
#0$.
Principle:
The closed grinding process ensures maximum separation of the endosperm from the
exosperm. The short grinding process corresponding to the elasticity of the bran preents
splitting up of the bran. %fter haing passed the last pair of rolls, the material drops into
the round sifter where it is separated into flour and bran.
Procedure:
1. Weighing: the minimum sample requirement is 20 grams, howeer the instrument can
output !00 grams in approximately fie minutes with a flour yield of "!-#0$.
2. Cleaning: clean the wheat to be milled by remoing dust, dirt, stones etc.
3. Tempering& the wheat sample must be conditioned before experimental milling. The
purpose of tempering is to bring particular wheat to the optimum conditions for
milling.i.e. to mellow the endosperm , so it fractures easily, and to toughen the bran, so it
does not splinter too much milling.
. !illing: put the sample into the hoper of the mill to start grinding and sifting process.
%t the completion of milling, the sifted flour falls into a flour drawer, and the bran is
collected in a separate bran drawer below the sifter outlet.
"pplication:
The Quadrumat Junior is ideal for wheat breeders and when operated in
con'unction with the #arinograph , $%ten&ograph , and "mylograph , it is
inaluable in the laboratory for the ealuation of extracted flour.
(e obtain laboratory flours which are almost equal to commercially produced
flours in ash content, yield, and baking quality - the multi-step grinding process
only needs a single passage.
The mill is suitable for wheat, spelt, rye, barley and rice.

Cyclone (ample !ill
*yclone sample mill is designed fir grinding samples of grains, pellets, meals, feeds,
foarges.The mill is a hammer type cyclone mill built into a sound proof casing. The
cyclone principle makes the mill irtually self cleaning, thus increasing lab output,
efficiency, accuracy.
Principle:
The *yclone )ample 0ill uses high elocity air flow, an abrasie surface, and centrifugal
forces to grind arious materials. The impeller is rotated at a high speed creating a high
elocity flow of air to propel the material particles against the abrasie surface. (hen
material is added to the 0ill, the rotation of the impeller and centrifugal force throw the
particles to the perimeter of the grinding chamber where the air flow pushes them along
the abrasie tungsten carbide surface. (hen the particles become small enough to
oercome their angular elocity, they moe with the air flow out of the grinding chamber
and are deposited in a sample collection bottle by the cyclone action. The air flow
preents material accumulation, and any need to clean out the 0ill between samples is
eliminated. The air flow also minimi@es heating of the material and aoids any thermal
degradation.
Aigure& *yclone )ample 0ill >rinding *hamber

Procedure:
1. 5lace the 0ill in the desired location. 4erify that a screen and the cyclone air separator
are in place, and then place the coer on top of the 0ill. )ecure the coer by tightening
two clamps on diagonally opposite sides of the 0ill simultaneously. Tighten the
remaining two clamps.
2. 5lug the 0ill into a suitable power outlet.
8. 5osition a sample collection bottle under the cyclone body by depressing the spring-
loaded bottle support, then turns the 0ill on.
7. (ith bin gate in place, slowly add 20 to 80 grams of sample into the sample bin. .o
not feed samples at a rate fast enough to slow the motor down. Berloading the motor
weakens the belts ery rapidly and lowers the rate that material can be fed into the 0ill
without further oerloading it.
!. (hen no more samples appear in the cyclone body leading into the sample collection
bottle, the 0ill can be turned off.
". )eal the bottle with the snap-cap, and then shake thoroughly to obtain a homogenous
mixture.
"pplication:

China atta cha1i
*hina atta chaki is used for grinding of grains like wheat, rice, corn. 6t produces whole
wheat flour haing high proportion of bran.
*hina atta chaki consists of&
1. <opper for feeding of grains
2. Cotaing blades ring; for grinding action
8. )iees of ariable si@e to get flour of different particle si@e.
7. 0otor for electric supply
!. *ollecting end to get flour
Principle:
The rotation of rotating blade ring and centrifugal force breaks the grains into fine
particles and then these are passed through siees to get flour of desired particle si@e.

2. *lean the mill and siees thoroughly with cleaning brush before operation.
8. 6nsert the siee in the mill.
7. attach a cloth bag with the receiing end to get flour
!. Turn on the mill and put the grains into hoper. %t the end of milling flour
will be collected in cloth bag attached with the collecting end.
"pplication:
The china atta chaki is used for the production of whole wheat flour, rice flour, corn flour
etc at domestic or small scale leel.
