Flour Mill Machine by Centrifugal System

Flour Mill Machine
Flour Mill Machine by Centrifugal System - Indonesia is an agricultural country with a relatively large number of agricultural products. This commodity is promising because it is a renewable natural resource. Indonesia also has abundant mineral wealth such as petroleum, coal, copper, gold and other minerals, but the reserves of the mine are gradually depleted. It was then that agricultural products are excellent.

An agricultural product is promising, but in reality, the goods cannot be enjoyed by farmers. Most farmers in Indonesia are quite difficult in economic matters. Sales of agricultural products are sometimes unable to cover the amount of the increase in fertilizer prices and the costs of farm management. Things, in fact, agricultural products prices tend to rise, but the effect was less felt by farmers.

One of the efforts to improve the competitiveness of farmers and improve the quality agricultural products must also be able to handle agricultural products become commodities that have a high sale value. In other words, they must master the technology of post-harvest handling. One of the post-harvest handling technologies is the processing of agricultural products into flour such as rice flour, wheat flour and soy flour. Rice flour and wheat flour is a raw material in the manufacture of pastry while soy flour is the raw material soy milk. If farmers to grow crops in the flour, then the value of sales of agricultural products will be higher.

Along with the proper technology advancement commonly found technology tools to process agricultural products. It is to help farmers in processing agricultural products for easy, fast but inexpensive cost. One of the technologies developed in this study is the flour mill machine is a machine to process agricultural products into rice flour, wheat flour and soy flour.

By a simple process of making flour by farmers with small amounts is usually done is the soil and then filtered. But of course the process is difficult to produce a large capacity because it requires a lot of labor so that the process is simply for its own sake. The process of making flour in advanced industries using flour mill machine by a large capacity. Its mill systems typically use a gear. Flour mill machine was very expensive so it does not allow the farmers can have it.

Therefore, this article will present the flour mill machine by using the concept of electric-powered collisions. The transmission system will continue the rotation of electric motors to the grinder. The miller rotation causes centrifugal force on the ingredients flour and mutual collision. Collisions that occur constantly in the raw materials to make crushed into flour.

Basic concept of flour mill

Ingredients flour (rice, wheat, soybeans) will be flour in the collision event between the milling ingredients flour. The processes of collisions occur due to the centrifugal force on the ingredients flour. Dynamic crusher upcoming mill running at a certain speed, while the static crusher to shut up. Encourage dynamic crusher in rotation so that the ingredients flour collides with static crusher. Ingredients flour, which ran into the static crusher, will reverse direction and collide with ingredients flour led dynamic crusher. Constantly the ingredients flour conflicts between recovery parts will hit the flour.

Principle of flour mill machine

This machine is using the centrifugal force resulting from electric power. Power transmission from electric motor to the crusher is using v-belt transmission. Milling process is strongly influenced by the size and style centrifugal collision speed. According to the specifications, the electric motor rotational speed is 1450 rpm. The rate is still low to mill the material into flour, so that the V-belt gear ratio 3/1 transmission used. Transferred to dynamic crusher pulleys round through a driven shaft. When the materials enter the crusher through the funnel, the material will collide due to the rotation of dynamic components. Therefore, the material will also rotate and collide with static crusher. Each collision will destroy the material and at a certain speed ingredients into flour. Flour will come out through the strainer, while the raw materials are still rough will stay on the crusher and continue until all the materials pounded into flour.

Operation of flour mill machine

How to use a flour mill machine is:
  1. Store the container below the discharge chute properly seated flour.
  2. Connect the power cord to the terminal.
  3. Press the power button to turn on the electric motor.
  4. When the switch is on dynamic crusher of spin. Do not insert any metal or other hard objects into the crusher.
  5. Make sure that the raw material regulator in the closed state.
  6. Enter the ingredients flour in the hopper according to the available capacity.
  7. Open the material regulator a little bit, so that the material can get into the crusher.
  8. Setting the materials regulator should fit machine capabilities. The ability of the machine depends on the amount of flour output.
  9. The flour that has been filtered through the outlet funnel, while the ingredients flour further processing in the crusher.
  10. If the ingredients flour still exists, add the ingredients flour in the corresponding hopper space.
  11. When finished, turn off by pressing the switch to OFF.
