What to prepare before opening a wheat flour mill factory?

Market research

Firstly, conduct market research. Understand the type of flour currently needed in the local and other surrounding markets, and then determine which group or region your flour is sold to, whether to produce high-end or mid-range flour, what requirements need to be met for gluten content, moisture, and ash content, so as to have a clear understanding and provide a basis for future flour processing technology and wheat mill equipment selection.

Source of raw grains

Through market research, grasp the nature and price of raw grains in the local and surrounding areas (such as whether wheat is hard or soft wheat), and then compare it with imported raw grain prices to choose raw grains that are suitable for the sales region. To reduce the transportation cost of raw grains.

Factory Site Selection

In principle, the site selection of the factory should be in a location with convenient transportation and easy entry and exit of raw grains and finished products. Dust, insect infestation, chemical, radioactive contamination, and other areas should be avoided. At the same time, understand the local government's policies and regulations on land acquisition and environmental protection. So as to choose a suitable wheat flour mill factory location.

Flour mill factory planning

Don't hastily design the wheat mill factory building, discuss with professional research units to develop a feasible flour mill factory construction plan. Including the division of living and wheat flour production areas. The living area includes employee dormitories and green space construction. The wheat flour production area includes the planning of office buildings and production plants. The design of the office building should meet the needs of various functional departments, especially the needs of raw grain and finished product laboratories. In addition, it is also necessary to consider the staff changing room and cafeteria. Outside the factory, if it is necessary to store raw grains, the storage capacity and location of the silo should also be planned. The factory building includes a cleaning section, a grinding/milling section, a flour making section, a wheat flour mixing section, a packaging section, and a finished product storage section.

Process and equipment selection

Through the above research, actively discuss with professional design institutions to determine the suitable process for one's own enterprise. At the same time, based on the process, inquire about the qualifications and reputation of various professional wheat mill machine manufacturers, and inquire about machine prices through the manufacturers. Taking wheat flour mill machine as an example, this includes the prices of the main machine such as storage equipment (silos), flat rotary screens, high-efficiency vibrating screens, wheat mixers, roller mill machine, plansifter, cleaning machines, flour mixers, packaging scales, and other auxiliary equipment such as conveyors, magnetic separators, fans, etc., in order to compare the prices and find equipment suitable for one's own enterprise.

Network applications

With the development of society and the widespread application of network technology, enterprises should consider establishing and improving their own quality network control from raw grains to finished products when building factories. Display various rules and regulations through the internet to clarify the responsibilities of each functional department and strictly control the quality of each batch of products. Further improve the sales network of the enterprise, promote its products, and use the internet to achieve promotional purposes.
