Nice weekend Hongdefa team visit Mount Wutai

Destination:Mount Wutai

Location: in Wutai County in Xinzhou Region, Shanxi Province,China

Area: 2,837 square kilometers (1,095.4 square miles)

Average Altitude: 1,000 meters (over 3,281 feet)

The most holy land of Chinese Buddhism, Mount Wutai is rated on both the list of the first group of national scenic spots designated by the State Council, and the list of the Top 10 scenic spots in Shanxi Province. It is as famous as Mt. Emei in Sichuan Province, Mount Putuo in Zhejiang Province, and Mount Jiuhua in Anhui Province, all of which are renowned as the four sacred Buddhist Mountains. Its five main peaks, positioned east, south, west, north, and in the middle, embrace one another with broad and plain terraces rather than forests on their tops. That is why it bears the name "Wutai Shan" (Mountain of Five Terraces). The summit of the northern peak which is famed as being the "Roof of Northern China", reaches 3061.1 meters (10,043 feet). Besides the religious aspect, the beauty of rising and falling ridges of mountains, exotic rocks, crisscrossed gullies, crystalline waters and towering green forests also gives the mountain its reputation as a colorful and notable scenic resort.

Last week Hongdefa team took a trip to Mount Wutai , and found that there were lots of travelers gathering when we arrived. It turned out July and August is the best time to travel Wutai Mountain, where the air is exceptionally cool, moody mountains make the dojo of the No.1 of the four famous Buddhist mountains into a fresh destination for “heat shelters + meditation + wishing + mountaineering + trekking”.

Our wishing place is precisely the well-known Wuye Temple on Mount Wutai. Wuye Temple is rather small, but there are indeed many pilgrims in Wuye Temple, which really made me shock.The place with smoke is the door of Wuye Temple, and the White Pagoda Temple is just next to the Wuye Temple.

Wuye Temple is located inside the Wanfo Pavilion. There is a Dragon King wearing a golden robe and sitting in the hall of Wuye Temple is the famous Wuye.

People will burning incense early in early morning in the temple without eating breakfast, tell their wishes to Wuye. Normally the wishes no more than 3 wishes and you should votive if the wishes come true.

Votive ways:hanging plaque, sent robes, supply the theater(this is the most solemn manner as seeing theater is one of favorite habit of Wuye,if your wishes come true)

Tips: Wuye will fall asleep at afternoon,so visiting his temple in morning if you want to tell your wishes to him.

In Summer, What need Pay Attention to in Flour Mill Machine ?

In Summer, What need Pay Attention to in Flour Mill Machine ?

Summer is a season of high temperature and high humidity, and it is also a period of frequent accidents in flour processing. How to do the technical adjustment and management of flour milling line is very necessary for the quality control of flour. Flour manufacturers should pay attention to the following matters:

Raw wheat in wheat flour mill machine

First, about the raw wheat

In order to meet the needs of production, some flour mill plant purchased large quantities of raw wheat, pay less attention to the quality of raw wheat, and brought some unqualified wheat into production. However, the quality of raw materials directly affects the quality of flour and its products. These unqualified raw wheat mainly include worm wheat, germinated wheat, new wheat and high temperature wheat.

A. worm wheat

Processing flour with worm wheat will first reduce the rate of flour extraction. In addition, due to the metabolism and reproduction activities of aphids, some excretions and eggs are formed in the wheat. These active substances are more difficult to remove during the wheat cleaning process, resulting in poor color and frequent biochemical activities. Flour and its products have discoloration, odor, and reduced gluten quality.

B. Germinated wheat

When harvest wheat, due to excessive rain or not drying in time, some wheat granules are germinated or about to germinate, so that the flour sticky in the edible, the surface is pale and the edible quality of the flour is deteriorated.

C.New wheat

The newly harvested wheat needs a “post-maturing period” before processing. The general post-maturing period is above 3 months. In this process, the wheat will improve its quality through its own breathing and other activities. Otherwise, the wheat can not be used for processing. The flour getting from the new wheat not only has a low yield, but also have poor color, poor gluten strength, and poor food quality, the steamed bread can not afford, the sticky teeth, the noodles mixed soup etc.

D.High temperature and moldy wheat

Flour quality is reduced from high temperature or mildew wheat. Moreover, in summer, because of high temperature and high humidity in storage process, the wheat itself will starch hydrolysis, protein deterioration, mildew, etc., resulting in the wheat flour being black color, bitter, and even inedible.

Second,about the processing of wheat

Processing of wheat into wheat flour

The high temperature and high humidity climate in summer, affects the processing effect of wheat, mainly in moisture , milling and sifting of wheat:

A. moisture wheat

The moisture rate of wheat in summer do not need to be too high, around 14.5%- 15% is good. The degree of degradation of wheat under high temperature conditions is closely related to water. The higher the moisture rate, the lower the temperature that causes the quality of the wheat to decrease, the higher the opposite. In summer, due to the heat dissipation of the wheat itself and the external environment temperature, the temperature of the wheat itself is relatively high. Therefore, it is necessary to control the time of wheat moisture. The moisture time is generally controlled 18-24 hours (due to differences in wheat quality). The wheat bin should be cleaned frequently. If it is not cleaned frequently or stopped for a long time without being cleaned, the wheat left in the bin for a long time will be mildewed or protein denatured due to high temperature and high humidity, thus affecting the edible quality of the flour.

B.milling wheat

In summer, the moisture content of the flour is high and the viscosity is high too. In the milling section, if the roller’s distance is not well adjusted, a layer of powder ring will adhere to the surface of the roller, and the roller phenomenon will occur, causing the radial rotation of the roller and affecting the milling process. Effect and flour quality. Therefore, the roller distance should not be too close, and the bottom suction can be appropriately increased.

C.sifting of wheat flour

Sifting of wheat flour

Because the high humidity in summer, and the wheat flour has strong hygroscopic characteristics,so in summer, flour sifting section often suffers from the opaque phenomenon due to the excessive moisture of the material, which may be caused by the back flow of the material. This will seriously affect the quality of normal production and finished products. Therefore, in summer, could consider reducing the output per unit time, reducing the material flow, or increasing the pore size of the screen to avoid this phenomenon.

Third,storage of wheat and flour

Storage of wheat and wheat flour

A. storage of wheat

In summer, the flour mill machine factory may receive some new wheat into the warehouse. Because of its frequent breathing and other biochemical activities during the storage process, the new wheat will cause high temperature in the warehouse, coupled with high temperature and high humidity. The environment is very easy to cause protein deterioration and mildew in wheat. Therefore, the wheat storage work must be done well , shall strengthen ventilation and turn of bin.

B.storage of wheat flour

The hygroscopicity of flour also tends to cause agglomeration and mildew in the storage process. Therefore, the flour storage during this period should pay special attention to maintain good ventilation and suitable temperature. Wheat flour mill machine factory can use low temperature or hypoxia store. Moreover, it is necessary to avoid different batches, different grades of flour are mixed after packing, so as to avoid the exchange of moisture between them, and the storage time is long and often turned over.

Which maize milling machines are the best for Tanzania market?

We take Ethiopia Air Line

From 27th May to 4th June, we team visited Tanzania, this time our after service manager Ms Jane Liu together with us to Tanzania, we visited Dar-Es-Salaam and Arusha.


We meet with lots of clients in Dar-Es-Salaam in the first 4 days we stay there, after talking with our clients, we found the market needing regular pattern.

1. the market need update old machines to latest technology maize milling plant.

Just like China in 20 years ago, the flour factory just small scale milling plants, but as the market develop, people have higher demand for flour’s quality and quantity. Big machines are start to build.

In Tanzania, as the economy develop, people have more and more demand for the Sembe. So the maize mill factory trying to find the ways to set up latest new technology maize milling machines. For Tanzania local maize milling plant, they mostly produce Dona. So the update timing is coming.

Sembe and Dona

1. As rapid economic development, more and more people have enough capacity to do the investment.

Nowadays more and more Tanzania people realize that the maize flour market is real a good business which can earn lots of money. So they want much large capacity milling machines.

Maize flour as a daily food, every day they need to have food. As More and more disposable income in people hand, they are willing to buy more better quality maize flour for their family. And even in the Army, School, college, in all field, the demand become large.

nice food Ugli in Dar-Es-Salaam

So the market develop so fast, what kind of maize mill machines are suitable for Tanzania market.

First, the maize flour mill machine should produce the final flour to meet local market. The maize mill plant can produce the target flour is become if you can achieve the market and get profit well.

We need design the machine to get Sembe and Dona to meet the market needs and confirm it’s quality.

As we know the market well, we make special design for our Tanzania client, to get good quality Sembe in the same time get Dona.

Second, the machine quality and life time is the key point.

During Tanzania, some client called me. Penny, my machines break down, will you come to visit me? It hve stop several days, really influence my profit! I am really confused, never heard this kind of sudden problems in our machines as we have the after service department.But final find out, they get the machine from other suppliers.

Even a pipe break down, you have to stop the production. But To our machines, we adopt stainless steel pipes, the life time is 3 times than the normal pipes.

The quality is our life for machinery!

Client very satisfied maize milling machines

Third, professional after service departments is really important!

This time the after service manager Ms Jane Liu together with me to visit our clients, after talking with our clients who bought the maize milling machine, we get more needs from client, which can also hep us to do much better after service for our client.

Ms Jane Liu talking with our client 

Fourth, update the machine as soon as possible, to make sure our machine can produce the final flour always have good market.

This year we visit Tanzania, more and more client talked about the micro dosser, the government is planing the rulers that need the maize flour milling factory equip with micro dosser to produce fortification flour, this will be the requirement to get the license.

In Kenya, the Government already had this kind of requirement for new factory to get the license. He micro dosser is not a big machine, but really a very important machine.

Micro dosser installed in our maize milling machine

Final, the machine can be adjust to make different kind of final products to meet different purpose.

When we visit some clients, they told us that around his factory, there is a Brewery who need lots maize grits, if our machine can produce.

To our maize milling plant to make to low fat grits will totally no problem. Even nowadays some client just do like this, some fine flour for local food, some grits for beer and snack food.

And also, some client around the border, they have the market in around countries, like Kenya, Uganda, Burundi, RD Congo and so on. So our machine can adjust to produce the final flour to meet different market needs.

To the by products, bran and germ are the good material for animal feed.

What we want to do is do our best to help our client get as much as profit.

Maize milling machine technical flow

Really had a nice trip to Tanzania, our Hongdefa Group will do our best to design and produce more good quality maize mill machines and wheat flour mills to meet Tanzania market.

Believe withe client’s trust, we can do the maize milling machines better and better.

Effective Measures To Prevent Flour Pests In Flour Mills Factory

How should wheat flour mill factory prevent flour pests from outside?

The first is the recognition of flour insects: the flour pests are mainly cereal beetles. Their development stages are divided into four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. The length of each stage is closely related to temperature, humidity and living environment. The optimum temperature for development is 27 ~30 C and the relative humidity is 70%. Under the general temperature of 29 C and relative humidity of 75%, the whole wheat flour was used as the living environment, and the life cycle of the beetle was about 40 days. Each female can lay more than 300 eggs in a lifetime. The rapid growth and reproduction of each female make it difficult to prevent and control insect pests in flour mills.

How to control pests, mainly from the following five aspects control is more effective.

1. Shortening storage period

Make a more practical sales plan, centralize flour production, timely distribution. The shorter the storage period of flour, the less likely it is to breed worms. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to predict the uncertainty of the market, and to some extent, it is easy to affect the sales plan and the total sales volume.

2. Hygiene and insect control

In summer, no dead corners are left in the workshop, and no room for eggs to reproduce in flour is provided. To achieve the shutdown, the equipment and pipeline to empty the surplus material, although it will cause some clean flour, but mainly destroy the root causes of insect breeding, from a large extent, control pests. Workshops and warehouses should be well ventilated, because flour has a breathing effect, so it is necessary to make the air circulate, store the surrounding environment of flour, not have peculiar smell, leave the wall off the ground to reduce the probability of polluted flour and reduce the breeding of insects and mice. The advantages of this method are green and low cost.

3. Insecticide at Low Temperature

Low temperature insecticide. The ideal temperature for flour storage is 18 - 24 C. Low temperature can reduce the metabolism of insects and control insect pests. Therefore, the environment for storing flour should be suitable for temperature and humidity. Flour will change its moisture content according to the temperature and humidity of the environment. The higher the humidity, the higher the moisture content of flour, the easier it will agglomerate and accelerate the reproduction of insects. Storage temperature will affect the maturation time of flour. The higher the temperature is, the faster the flour ripens, and the faster the insects breed. However, the disadvantage of low-temperature storage of flour is the higher the cost.


4. Drying insecticide

Everyone knows that dry flour with less than 13% moisture is not easy to breed insects, so adopting flour drying method, drying flour with high moisture to 14% or below designated moisture, will reduce the environment of flour insect breeding. Now domestic manufacturers have used this technology. The advantage of this technology is to reduce the risk of pests and improve the quality of flour, but it needs the support of the broad market of special flour, because the decrease of moisture means the loss of economic benefits.


5. Drug fumigation and inert gas insecticide

Drug fumigation and inert gas insecticide. Centralized shutdown in summer, after doing a good job of cleaning and closing, professional fumigation units with national fumigation qualification are invited to fumigate the production equipment with professional chemical fumigants. The advantage of this method is to completely kill most of the eggs, but the disadvantage is that the fumigation cycle is too long, which affects the market sales. The above trouble can be avoided if inert gas fumigation is used, but the cost is high. Nowadays, many organizations are experimenting with the packing of inert gas nitrogen. The experiments show that nitrogen can suffocate pests and kill them. It can be filled in the closed production workshop after the cessation of production, or in the flour packaging bags to prevent the breeding of pests.

In a word, the elimination of pests in flour is a comprehensive control work, which mainly focuses on prevention and comprehensive control.


Our factory have been in flour milling machine since 1982.For now,we have 10 engineers who have more than 30years experience in this business. China First Export flour mill machine to Africa is installed by our Engineer MR.Guo 40years ago.

How is the effect of wheat flour milling technology on flour color？

The products which are made from wheat flour are the most common food in northern of China. Sometimes you will find that the steamed bread will turn dark brown after repeated steaming, and the noodles will turn brown after they are made. Why do these phenomena occur in these products?

Wheat flour for different kind of food

(1) Quality of wheat.

According to its seed coat color,raw wheat can be divided into red wheat, white wheat and mixed wheat. The content of pigments in red wheat bark was the highest, while that in white wheat was the lowest. When we do the wheat milling, a small part of the bran is always mixed into the wheat flour, which affects the flour color, so the quantity of bran and the color of wheat husk have a direct impact on the color of the flour.

When the flour is processed with the dark wheat, the bran can be clearly displayed, especially the flour with higher flour rate; the flour processed with light color wheat is relatively white.

In order to improve the flour color, light-colored wheat should be used in wheat flour blending under the permissible technological conditions. In addition, the wheat bark color of diseases, pests, germination, mildew and aging is usually deep, which has a great impact on the flour color. In the process of wheat blending and flour milling, the negative effects of

these factors should be taken into account, so as to avoid affecting the overall quality and the grade of flour.

Wheat and the structure

(2) Pulverizing technology.

Flour milling requires a reasonable cleaning process and equipment. Domestic wheat has a high sand content, which can not be completely cleaned out due to short flour passage, thus mixing it into flour, increasing ash content of flour and affecting the flour color.

At the same time, water regulation in the wheat is an important process to obtain the best flour milling effect. The ability of water absorption and swelling of wheat grain cortex, aleurone layer and endosperm is different in sequence, and there will be micro-displacement in the radial direction of cross-section of wheat grain, which weakens the binding force of the three, and makes them easy to peel and scrape and separate.

The water content after absorbing water should not be too low, otherwise the wheat grain will not absorb enough water, and the wheat skin and embryo will not be easily separated, resulting in more bran and poor flour color in the flour.

Stainless steel dampener for water regulation

In addition, reasonable flour mixing and flour collection should be paid attention to. The ash content and protein content of flour in different flour extracting parts are different. It should

be collected according to the objective needs such as the purpose of use and the flow rate and ash content of each material flow.
