Development of a Procedure for Experimental Studies of Grinding Grain Using Conical Mills

Abstract

The results of research into the properties of grain and development of a crushing method that ensures effective grain milling by optimizing the parameters of the grain grinder are presented. The main characteristics of the structural and mechanical properties of barley grain harvested on the plain of Belgorod oblast of the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation and the methods of its milling are studied. Recommendations based on a mathematical model are given for obtaining the required quality of finished products of grain crops processed in conical mills. An installation reproducing real processes of grain grinding in conical mills, with the ability to adjust the process accurately and to output the obtained data to a computer, is proposed.
