4 Text 3 A Modern Flour Mill

       A modern mill is a vast enterprise where the entire technological process is
fully mechanised and put on a continuous flow basis. Our flour mills differ from
those of many foreign countries. They have a higher degree of efficiancy. Our
mills are simple in operation. They usually have 5 or 6 floors, and all machines of
one type are grouped together on the floor. One or two floors may be wholly
occupied by rollermills, another two by centrifugals and plansifters and another
two by purifiers; this enables a whole floor-full of machines to be supervised by
men skilled in operating that particular type.
       The system of worm, band and chain conveyors, bucket elevators are used
for transport. Rollermills, plansifters, centrifugals are widely used for milling
operations. All the processes continue simultaneously, and the stocks flow in
endless streams from one group of machines to another. Such specialized
consulting engineering organization as the State Institute Promzernoproject has
many years’ practice of the complex designing and in its work uses modern
development of the milling industry in our own country and abroad. Special
attention is given to the layout of mill building and their position in relation to each
other. Our mills are equipped with an automatic signalling and light system to
control and block motor starting and stopping, to indicate the grain and flour level
in the bins. There is also a double way loudspeaking operative wiring for
communication of all floors and a central Control room. All our designers meet
various geographical and climatic conditions and besides that they always take into
consideration wishes and tastes of the customers.
