ABOUT THE INDUSTRY

A mill is a device that breaks solid materials into smaller pieces by grinding, crushing,
or cutting. Such communication is an important unit operation in many processes. There are
many different types of mills and many types of materials processed in them. Historically
mills were powered by hand (e.g., via a hand crank), working animal (e.g., horse mill), wind
(windmill) or water (watermill). Today they are usually powered by electricity.

The grinding of solid materials occurs through mechanical forces that break up the
structure by overcoming the interior bonding forces. After the grinding the state of the solid
is changed: the grain size, the disposition and the grain shape.

Milling also refers to the process of breaking down, separating, sizing, or classifying
aggregate material. For instance rock crushing or grinding to produce uniform aggregate size
for construction purpose, or separation of rock, soil or aggregate material for the purposes of
structural fill or land reclamation activities. Aggregate milling processes are also used to
remove or separate contamination or moisture from aggregate or soil and to produce “dry
fills” prior to transport or structural filling.

Grinding may serve the following purposes in engineering:

 Increase of the surface area of a solid

 Manufacturing of a solid with a desired grain size

HISTORY OF THE FLOUR MILLS

In the 19th century roller mills were adapted to grist mills before replacing them. The
mill used either steel or porcelain rollers. Between the years 1865 and 1872, the Hungarian
milling industry upgraded and expanded the use of stone mills combined with roller mills in a
process known as Hungarian high milling. Hungarian hard wheat so milled was claimed as
integral to the “first in the world” success of the Vienna Bakery of the 1867 Exposition.

Main article: Wheat

The earliest archaeological evidence for wheat seeds crushed between simple
millstones to make flour dates to 6000 BC. The Romans were the first to grind seeds on cone
mills. In 1879, at the beginning of the Industrial Era, the first steam mill was erected in
London. In the 1930s, some flour began to be enriched with iron, niacin, thiamine and
riboflavin. In the 1940s, mills started to enrich flour and acid was added to the list in the
1990s.

Degermed and heat-processed flour

An important problem of the industrial revolution was the preservation of flour.

Transportation distances and a relatively slow distribution system collided with natural shelf
life. The reason for the limited shelf life is the fatty acids of the germ, which react from the
moment they are exposed to oxygen. This occurs when grain is milled; the fatty acids
oxidize and flour starts to become rancid. Depending on climate and grain quality, this
process takes six to nine months. In the late 19th century, this process was too short for an
industrial production and distribution cycle. As vitamins, micronutrients and amino acids
were completely or relatively unknown in the late 19th century, removing the germ was an
effective solution. Without the germ, flour cannot become rancid. De germed flour becomes
standard.

LABORATORY TESTS

Moisture content

1. Low temperature heating

2. Measures moisture content

Method

• A small sample of flour or ground wheat (2-3 grams) is weighed and placed in a
moisture dish.

• The sample is heated at 130° C in an air oven for 1 hour.

• The sample is cooled to room temperature and the residue is weighed

Result

• Moisture content is determined by heating a flour or ground wheat sample in an air

oven and comparing the weight of the sample before and after heating

• The amount of weight loss is the moisture content

• Moisture content results are expressed as a percentage. An example of a wheat

moisture content is 12 %.

Importance

• Determining moisture content is an essential first step in analyzing wheat or flour

quality since this data is used for other tests. Flour millers adjust the moisture in
wheat to a standard level before milling. Moisture content of 14% is commonly used
as a conversion factor for other tests in which the results are affected by moisture
content.

• Moisture is also an indicator of grain storability.

• High moisture content (over 14.5 %) attracts mold, bacteria, and insects, all of which
cause deterioration during storage. Wheat or flour with low moisture content is more
stable during storage.

• Moisture content can be an indicator of profitability in milling. Flour is sold by

weight, grain is bought by weight, and water is added to reach the standard moisture
level before milling. The more water added, the more weight and profitability gained
from the wheat. Wheat with too low moisture, however, may require special
equipment or processes before milling to reach the standard moisture level.
2.2 DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS

Distribution channels help us to make our product available for use/consumption by

the consumer or business users. Distribution channels help to bridge the major time, place,
and possession gaps that separate goods and services from us to our customers. Marketing
intermediaries play an important role in matching our supply and demand of the consumers.
Marketing intermediaries reduce the amount of work that must be done by us and our
consumers.
Selling Directly To Consumer

Producer Consumer

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Selling Through Retailers

Producer Retailer Consumer

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Selling Through Wholesalers

Producer Wholesaler Retailer Consumer

Marketing intermediaries also play a very important role in having a very good
relationship with our consumers. For example, our consumers express their feelings, likes,
dislikes and wants to the retailers. Then the retailers express these feelings to the
wholesalers. Finally the wholesalers come to us and tell us about the consumer’s
complaints/suggestions. They give us the precious consumer’s opinions and feedbacks to us.
It always helps us to meet our consumer demand and to have a great relationship with our
partners and customers.
 Sakthi Murugan Flour mills might be the only flour mill in the country that uses all
the distribution channels. First, we sell directly to consumers. There are no intermediaries.
Second, we sell our products through retailers sell them to consumers. Third, we sell
products to wholesalers and wholesalers sells to retailers and then retailers sell them to
consumers.

DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENT

Production function of a business is concerned with creation of a product or a service.

It is the process which converts the raw material into finished product, required to satisfy
customer needs and desires.

Production function operates primarily to satisfy customer demands relating to

quality, quantity, price and most importantly the timing of delivery of the product as schedule
in the orders.
Production Process
This entire production process consists of series of operation carried out sequentially
to obtain the final product. Raw material procurement is form Madhya Pradesh, Uttar
Pradesh, Gujarat and during season.

Milling:

(a) Intake:
In view of the method of storage and transportation, the wheat arrives at the
mill mostly in gunny bags of 100kg weight and is transported to the mill in Lorries
and by rail transport systems. At the arrival point, sample are drawn and examined
for color, smell, hardness, moisture content of the wheat as well as percentage of
foreign matter, hectoliter weight and gluten percentage.

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT MACHINES
 Mini Flour Milling Machine

 Non – Dusting Machine

 Grinding Machine

 Stone Remover

 Winding Machine

Mini Flour Milling Machine

A flour mill is a small grinding machine that is used to grind grains and other solid
items to a powder form. A flour mill is usually employed at home and comes at an affordable
price.

Non – Dusting Machine

The best solution for permanent dust removal is to use a

home air purifier. Air purifiers work by controlling dust on a non-stop basis. These devices
pull in and capture dust particles and prevent them from ever returning to the room. This
provides a dust free home without the labor of having to clean yourself.

Grinding Machine

Grinding machines produce flat, cylindrical and other surfaces by means of high-
speed rotating abrasive wheels. Grinding is a means of giving a more accurate finish to a part
already machined, but is also a machining process in its own right.
Stone Remover

The material falls onto the guide plate from inlet and cover evenly on the entire width
of the upper sieve due to the vibratory action of the machine. The combined action of the
vibration and air flow make the material on the upper sieve classified automatically according
to its specific gravity and granular size. Light material become overtails of the upper sieve
and discharged out of the machine from the machine tail. More light material like straw and
dust is taken away from aspiration outlet. Heavy material together with stones and sand falls
onto the lower sieve through the upper sieve. As the action of the machine vibration, air flow
and friction, the heavy material moves towards the tail of the machine and discharged from
the tail outlet while sand and stones move towards the head of the machine and discharged
from the stone outlet.

Winding Machine

The working principle of the flour mill machine is that the wheat is pulverized after
entering the flour mill, and the bran is filtered out through a sieve or the like, and the rest
is flour. Bran is generally used as a feed.
