What Are the Benefits of Sifters & Separators in Maize Flour Production?

Nutritional products, animal feed, and baking products are among the many uses for maize flour around the world. For maize flour to be obtained, the kernels of maize must first be cleaned and sieved. With a fine sieve, sand and other small particles must be removed from the maize kernels prior to grinding. Additionally, it must be passed through a coarse screen in order to remove impurities larger than corn, such as corncob fragments.

Following the cleaning of the material, it is ready for grinding and milling. The various stages of processing, including cleaning, drying, and milling, are capable of introducing contamination, such as dust particles, ferrous particles, and metal pieces. There is also a tendency for lumps to form in the air due to moisture. To ensure the quality of the product, a vibrating sieving machine is installed on the processing line. This device removes lumps, impurities, and unwanted particles from the product.

Furthermore, different grades of maize flour are required for different types of products. There are four types of maize flour: Grade 1 and Grade 2 consist primarily of maize skins with a small amount of maize flour, which are used as animal feed, whereas Grade 3 and Grade 4 are fine maize flour that can be consumed by humans. Therefore, a vibratory separator is not only required for removing impurities, but also for grading maize flour.
