Wheat processing: flour milling, semolina and storage

From silo to flour or semolina bag, every point of extraction rate counts. We help flour and semolina mills produce more, better and safely.

Soft wheat becomes flour; durum wheat becomes semolina for couscous and pasta. Either way, performance depends on good storage, controlled cleaning and conditioning, and a well-tuned milling diagram.

We work on new builds and extensions, on how production is organised, and on quality: control of insects, mycotoxins and foreign bodies.

Key process steps

  1. 01

    Receiving and storage

    Sampling, checks, aeration and temperature monitoring in silos.

  2. 02

    Cleaning

    Separators, destoners, indented cylinders, aspirators, scourers and optical sorting.

  3. 03

    Conditioning

    Dampening and tempering to prepare the grain for milling.

  4. 04

    Milling

    Roller mills, plansifters, purifiers (semolina).

  5. 05

    Blending and treatment

    Flour correction and enrichment to specification.

  6. 06

    Packing and dispatch

    Bagging, bulk loading, lot traceability.
