INTRODUCTION
In the present project, staple food like rice, atta , suji , flour observing
the local products available at the doorstep and to market the finished products
in the nearby towns.

Wheat is one of the major item of food grain. It is grown in many parts.
Wheat products are being used as flour, maida, suji and the bran and its
products are being used throughout the country, even in rice eating areas of our
country. In a roller flour mill out of whole wheat different products can be
obtained in the following ratio:
Maida-30%
Suji-20%
Atta –40%
Bran and other –10%

MARKET POTENTIAL

Milling of wheat into flour (Atta) is one of the important processing

operations. Wheat productions, storage, marketing, consumption practices and
other techno-economic consideration in India have given rise to mills of
indigenous design power operated disc mills (Chakies) are one of them. The
milling of wheat is still largely (about 70%) done in chakkies in the country.
 2

After the Agricultural Revolution (Green Revolution) production of

agricultural product including wheat have risen manifold and large quantities of
wheat are being produced in different parts of the country which has given wide
scope to start wheat milling unit to meet the growing demand of the people for
different wheat product specially wheat flour, suji, maida, etc. with the
abundant availability of wheat and rising trend of consumption of wheat
product there is very good scope of setting up new wheat milling unit in
different parts of the country including West Bengal.
There are around 500 nos. of small scale units operating chakkies for
wheat flour and around 100 no. of roller wheat milling units in different parts of
West Bengal and still the there is good scope for setting of more number of
modern roller mills which can produce wheat flour, maida, suji, etc. India is one
of the leading exporters of spices. The export earnings from spices can be
increased quite considerably if the export of spices is encouraged in processed
form, as it will bring more value addition to the unit price of whole spices.
Further as it is a mass consumption item mostly used in culinary preparation or
seasoning of food products, its internal demand is increasing quite steadily due
to improvement in purchasing power of people. As Pulses are important source
of proteins they are having good demand in every part of the country. With
rising population the demand is further likely to grow manifold in near future.

BASIS AND PRESUMPTION:

1. All the prices in respect of machinery, raw material, etc. are taken as per
those which are prevailing at the time of preparing scheme, which may
vary, place to place and from time to time.
2. 70% efficiency of roller capacity utilization and single shift basis
working
3. 8 hours in day & 300 working days in a year have been considered.
4. Interest rate taken @ 12%.
5. The entrepreneurs as own investment in implementing the project require
margin money @ 30% of total project cost.
6. Minimum wages have been considered in the preparation of the scheme.
7. The endosperm part of the wheat is used for preparation of suji. In the
first phase breaking the endosperm part is separated as coarse particles,
which are collected through sieves.
8. 92% of total raw material is converted into finished product. In
preparation of atta, bran is not separated, but in preparation of maida and
suji bran is separated. 4%-5% of total wheat is converted into bran.

3) Availability of finance 15 days
5) Procurement of machinery 15 Days
6) Erection and commissioning 15 days
7) Recruitment of staff and trial run 8 days

TECHNICAL ASPECTS:

Process of manufacture of wheat milling:

The production process in brief consists of the following steps:
1. Cleaning of wheat
2. Conditioning/tempering of wheat
3. Bran removal
4. Grinding and sieving
5. Packing

The wheat on arrival at the Mill is first cleaned with the help of sifters
manually to remove course materials like straw, seeds, and other lighter
impurities. It can be done with the help of aspirator mechanically. A disc
separator then removes larger or smaller materials and accepts individual wheat
grains. The stream of wheat then passes over a magnetic separator that pulls out
iron steel pieces. In the present scheme magnetic separator is not used. Nails
etc. are detected manually and separated. The wheat is then allowed to pass
through a water-washing unit, where high speed rotators spin the wheat in a
water bath. Excess water is thrown out by centrifugal force. Stones drop into the
bottom and are removed, whereas lighter materials float off leaving only the
clean wheat. However, the washing etc. is carried out manually in this scheme.
Tempering is a process in which moisture is added. It aids in the separation of
bran from the endosperm and helps provide controlled amount of moisture and
temperature throughout the milling process. The dampened wheat is held in a
bin for a prescribed period from 8 to 24 hours. With 16% moisture content the
grain is passed through a scouring aspirator machine the wheat flows to a
grinding bin or hopper from which it is fed in continuous controlled stream into
the mill itself.
 4

First the grain is passed between horizontal rollers called the “Break
Rolls”. These rollers are fluted and the upper roller revolves with more speed as
compared to the lower one. The grain gets broken here.
The broken particles of wheat then pass to a shifter where a series of
vibrating blotting cloths or screen separate the larger from the smaller particles.
The scalped fractions and particles of endosperm graded by size are carried to
separate purifiers where a controlled flow of air lifts off, bran particles and
bolting cloth at the same time separates and grades coarser fractions by size and
quality.
Four to five additional “break” rolls with successively finer corrugations
and each followed by a sifter, usually rework the coarse stocks from the sifter
and reduce thee wheat particles to granular “middlings” as much free from bran
as possible. Germ particles bring somewhat elastic will be flattened by later
passage through the smooth reduction rolls and can then be easily separated.
The reduction rolls reduce the purified granular middlings to flour.
Maida, suji, atta and bran thus obtained are collected separately in jute
bags of different specifications and stored at cool and dried place. Percentage
yields from good quality wheat are as follows:
Maida 55%
Suji 5%
Atta 20%
Bran and refractoriness 20%
Alternate technology:
Wheat can also be processed in chakkies but for bulk production and quality
product roller mills are used.
Quality Control/Specn.
For production of good wheat products good varieties of wheat should be
selected which is to be stored properly and dried before milling. All working
environment and machinery should be clean and kept under hygienic condition.
BIS has published IS Specification for wheat products.
Atta wheat IS-1155/1968
Maida IS-1009/1968
Sooji or rawa IS-1010/1968
Which can be followed for proper quality maintenance.

MOTIVE POWER: 80 KW

Pollution Control:
Though this industry is not much polluting industry towards the
environment, the NOC should be obtained from concerned District Industries
Centre. The workers should use proper personal protective equipments (PPE)
like mask and hand gloves while operating machines and other works. Packing
and production section should be made dust free and completely hygienic.

Energy Conservation:
There is not much scope for energy conservation. However, proper
selection of machine, motors, timely maintenance of machinery and tools may
save quantity of energy.
