Production line and factory setup overview
A compact cleaning, high-extraction milling, controlled sifting, blending and packing line for whole-wheat and atta flour made from Afghan wheat.
Recommended lowest-entry line configuration Start with 200-500 kg/h, a simple cleaner and destoner, one atta mill with pneumatic transfer, an adjustable sifter, a small flour blender and semi-manual packing.
Production process and implementation sequence
- Wheat intake and inspection
- Air-screen cleaning
- Destoning and magnetic separation
- Optional light conditioning
- High-extraction atta milling
- Controlled sifting and flour blending
- Weighing, sealing and lot coding
Products, capacity and market fit
- Afghan wheat can support local flour conversion close to farming districts and urban bakeries.
- High-extraction atta serves naan, chapati, household and institutional-food demand.
- Adjustable sifting permits whole-wheat and lighter atta grades from one compact line.
- Bran-rich offcuts can be sold to feed users instead of discarded.
- Whole-wheat flour - High extraction with buyer-approved texture - Households, naan bakeries and restaurants
- Sifted atta flour - Adjusted granulation and bran level - Retail flour and institutional kitchens
- Coarse bran fraction - Clean, dry milling co-product - Livestock-feed users
Core production machinery and line specifications
| Machine / stage | Function / value | Production note |
|---|---|---|
| Intake hopper and aspiration cleaner | Meters wheat and removes dust, chaff and large impurities | Food-grade contact surfaces and dust outlet |
