How does the Grain Grinding Machine work?

Grain grinding machines (grain crushers/flour mills) operate based on mechanical crushing and particle classification technologies, using physical forces to process grains into powder or granules. Below is a step-by-step explanation of their core workflow and technical principles:

1. Feeding System

• Function: Uniformly delivers raw materials (wheat, corn, rice, etc.) to the grinding zone.

• Key Components:

  • Vibratory feeder or screw conveyor (controls feed rate)

  • Magnetic separator (removes metal impurities)

  • Pre-screening mesh (filters out large debris)

2. Grinding & Crushing System (Core Process)

A. Impact Crushing (For Coarse Processing)

• Principle: High-speed rotating hammers/blades (1500-6000 RPM) strike grains, breaking them via impact force.

• Features:

  • Coarser particle size (0.5-5 mm)

  • High throughput with lower energy consumption

B. Disc Milling (For Fine Grinding)

• Principle: Two toothed discs (one rotating, one stationary) shear and crush grains through friction.

  • Adjustable disc gap (controls fineness)

  • Typical fineness: 80-300 mesh (flour-grade)

C. Jet Milling (Ultra-Fine Processing)

• Principle: High-pressure air streams propel particles to collide and fracture, achieving micron-level fineness (>500 mesh).

3. Classification System

• Dynamic Screening: Rotating sieves or air classifiers separate particles by size.

  • Oversized particles return for re-grinding

  • Classification accuracy affects product uniformity

4. Discharge & Collection

• Pneumatic Conveying: Prevents dust leakage

• Cooling System (Optional): Avoids heat damage to nutrients

• Packaging Unit: Automated weighing and bagging

Key Innovations

1. Multi-Stage Grinding: Combines coarse crushing + fine milling for efficiency.

2. Temperature Control: Maintains grinding temperature <50°C to preserve nutrients.

3. Smart Adjustment: PLC automatically optimizes speed and feed rate.

Safety & Eco-Design

• Explosion-proof motors (for flammable dust)

• Pulse dust collectors (>99% recovery rate)

• Noise reduction (<75 dB)

Applications

• Household: Small electric grinders (200-500W)

• Industrial: Fully automated lines (1-20 tons/hour)

• Specialty Processing: Chinese herbal ultra-fine powder
