Types Of Rolls, Sizes & Dimensions in Wheat Milling: Rolls used in wheat milling are typically made

from chilled cast iron or steel and come in various sizes and dimensions. The most common types of
rolls used in wheat milling include break (fluted) rolls, and reduction (smooth) rolls. Break rolls are
used to break the wheat kernel into smaller pieces, reduction rolls further reduce the size of the
particles, and sizing rolls are used to achieve the desired particle size distribution. The common roll
sizes are for both smooth and fluted rolls, dimensions change depending on the roller stands. Some
of the dimensions are; 1. 1000 x 250 2. 1250 x 250 3. 800 x 250 etc

Roll Inspection and Measurement methods: Rolls used in wheat milling undergo regular inspection
and measurement to ensure they are in good condition and produce high-quality flour. Common
methods of roll inspection and measurement include visual inspection, ultrasonic testing, and x-ray
diffraction.

Roll fluting: Roll fluting refers to the process of engraving grooves onto the surface of the rolls.
Fluting is done to improve the grip and shearing action of the rolls, which helps to reduce the particle
size of the wheat kernels.

Roll Spiral Inclination (Pitch): Roll spiral inclination, also known as pitch, refers to the angle at which
the flutes are engraved onto the surface of the rolls. The pitch can affect the efficiency of the milling
process and the particle size distribution of the flour produced.

Position Of Flutes: The position of the flutes on the rolls can also affect the efficiency of the milling
process and the particle size distribution of the flour produced. Flutes can be positioned in a straight
or helical pattern, and the spacing between flutes can vary.

Roll Frosting: Roll frosting is a process that involves creating a fine layer of roughness on the surface
of the rolls. This helps to improve the grip and shearing action of the rolls, resulting in a more
efficient particle size reduction.

Roll Cambering: Roll cambering refers to the process of shaping the rolls to ensure they are perfectly
round and have a uniform diameter. Cambering is important for ensuring even particle size reduction
and preventing excessive wear on the rolls.
