How spelt flour is made into flour
|
This is the basic set up for dehulling spelt. |
|
|
We load the barrel with hulled spelt and regulate the flow with a hand operated gate on the bottom of the barrel. |
|
|
The spelt that does not get dehulled on the first round gets put through the dehuller again from the seed cleaner and put on the conveyor. |
|
|
The conveyor leads to an auger that brings the spelt up to the dehuller. |
|
|
The dehuller in action falling down and the trash is blown out the side of the building for our compost pile. |
|
|
The variable frequency motor and drive, |
|
|
The finished dehulled spelt seeds |
|
|
The trash that was removed. |
|
|
And Finally the spelt seeds are put into the stone ground flour mill.
|
|
|
After milling the spelt we then sift the flour and remove most of the bran and the trash. The flour is bagged in 5 lb bags with an amount of bran added in a separate bag. For those interested in a healthy bread use the bran. |
