Buckwheat and millet mill capacity 110…120 tons grain per day

Premises. The most economical way is to use existing premises and reconstruct them, adapting for the new production process. This will cut capital investments significantly. The equipment set is placed in a pre-fabricated or monolith concrete five storey building or a pre-fabricated metalwork building, faced with sandwich panels. This building must have reinforced concrete floors, size in the layout 18 × 24 m and the storey height of 4,8 m.

Power resources supply. The installed power of the buckwheat processing equipment is 429,0 kW; of the millet processing equipment is 280,0 kW.

It should be taken into account that the total installed power of the buckwheat mill SGR-600 is estimated for millet – 11 kW, though 7,5 kW is sufficient; the installed power of SGR-400 is estimated for millet – 7,5 kW, though 5,5 kW is sufficient.

To steam and dry it is required to provide saturated steam. The steam flow for processing one ton of buckwheat grain is up to 700 kg/h. Steam pressure at the steam distribution comb in the production shop is 0,6 … 0,8 MPa. Therewith it is more reasonable to use the boilers, powered by hull, or to adapt the boilers, powered by solid fuel, to hull combustion. The buckwheat hull heat transfer is very high, therefore, in the summer and transitional production periods, this enables to generate steam using mainly hull.
