  • Patent number: 4133899
    Abstract: The process of milling wheat to produce a large proportion of coarse farina in which double tempered wheat is passed through a series of four identical sets of deeply and coarsely corrugated break rolls run sharp to sharp. The output of each roll is separated in size ranges. Substantially oversized particles from each break roll set are fed into the next break roll set in the series. Slightly oversized particles are fed through corrugated rolls to slightly reduce the size thereof, and to remove bran coat therefrom. Properly sized particles are air purified to remove bran particles and oversized bran particles are passed through additional breaking roll operations to further separate any endosperm particles therefrom.
