development of complete wheat flour mill plant in china

China has thousands years of experience in wheat flour milling. The traditional wheat flour mill plants that process <100t/d are different from modern large scale flour mill plant; they are small scale flour mill plant which is composed by cleaning and milling parts. The equipments in these small scale wheat flour mill plants usually have the weaknesses of low processing accuracy, low welding quality, outdated cleaning and milling technology, poor wheat flour quality, high power consumption to produce 1 ton of wheat flour, etc.

In recent years, especially the last year or two, as there is a pattern evaluation in grain machinery industry, large numbers of private own companies emerged. As a result, both the equipment processing and flour milling technology are qualitatively improved. Now there have been countless flour milling plants built by Chinese factories in different continents.

The current situation of complete wheat flour mill plant in the market

Over more than ten years of market economic selection and elimination, those wheat flour mill manufacturers that have great potential are developed and become mature; their market share and product reputation are also increased. There are also some Chinese manufacturers like KMEC that will be comparative to Buhler in the near future.

1. The complete flour mill plants are large scale.

Now the flour mill plants from China have been developed from tens of tons per day to 100 and several hundred tons per day. The overall quality is also improved.

2. Technology design is more and more rational.

The plant can be designed according to customer practical situation: the cleaning can be in wet way or dry way. It is also equipped with complete dust ventilating net to reach hygienic standard. Generally, professional engineers in every flour mill plant manufacturer can design the turnkey project in accordance with the scale, cleaning and milling processes required by customer.

3. Advanced equipments are adopted to improve the whole plant technological content.

New type complete wheat flour mill plant adopts some new equipment, for example, wheat huller, electronic control dampener, wheat brusher, etc. can remedy the limitations in middle or small scale complete flour mill plants. At the same time, the equipments supplied by China manufacturers are indifferent from those made by world famous manufacturers. With the strength enhancement of China manufacturers, the overall quality of their equipments will gradually catch up with those renowned manufacturers or even surpass them.

4. The complete wheat flour mill plant will cost less on construction.

If you choose a single supplier to offer the whole flour mill plant, it will cost you much less than purchasing different equipments from several suppliers, find a company to design the processing technology and ask the installation company to install, since every link has its individual cost. Besides, the manufacturer knows its equipments well, and the equipments from a single manufacturer match best.   

5. The complete flour mill plant is flexible in investment and has different grades to meet customer needs.

Now there are complete wheat flour plants in different specifications and their processing capacities range from several tons to hundreds tons per day to meet different customer requirements. The construction ways also vary: grouped by flour mill, there are single flour mill plant, compound flour mill plant, and pneumatic flour mill; grouped by grading equipment, there are single warehouse screen flour mill plant, double warehouse screen flour mill plant, small high plansifter flour mill plant and high plansifter wheat flour plant; grouped by cleaning equipments, there are also flour mill plants in different grades. Therefore, customers can choose different configuration in accordance with their own economic strength and the products requirements to find the most suitable complete set of flour mill.
 

The development prospect of complete wheat flour mill plant

• There is still large market demand for complete set wheat flour mill plant

Because of the imbalanced development in world economy, there are still great market demand for small scale wheat flour mill plant (<100t/d). In recent years, the orders for large scale flour plants from China increase. Compared to foreign equipments, China flour mill plants have many advantages, such as low price, advanced and flexible technology design, so they can better meet customer demands.

• Wheat flour manufacturers tend to purchase complete wheat flour mill instead of single equipments.

The complete flour plant manufacturers can allocate processing equipments and technology designs in different grades for diverse customer groups. These manufacturers from China usually have their own technologists to make the plan, construction design and equipment commissioning, etc. for turnkey projects. They also keep close contact with local Grain Research Institutes to gain the latest technology and information of this industry at the earliest, and put into their technology design. Therefore, these wheat flour mill plant manufacturers are much more liked by customers.
