FLOUR MILL AND MILLING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a flour mill and milling method provided with optimum oxygen concentration and a humidity controlling function and a cooling function while checking the deterioration of intrinsic taste components and quality and a decrease in quality by oxidizing reaction caused by high heat generated at the time of milling grain such as Soba (noodles made from buckwheat). SOLUTION: This flour mill is constituted of devices 1, 2 for controlling humidity and oxygen concentration of air fed to a hopper 3 to which grain is fed, an outer and inner mortar 4 provided with a cooling function for continuously removing a lot of heat generated when grain is crushed, an electrically operated screen 9 for performing granular sorting and a pump for circulating the cooking medium, and the like.
