Consider the following statements about wheat milling:

1. Break rolls are fluted and run at a high differential.

2. Reduction rolls are smooth and run close to equal speed.

3. Purifiers separate flour from semolina by size alone.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1, 2 and 3
  • B.1 and 2 only
  • C.1 and 3 only
  • D.2 and 3 only

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statements 1 and 2 describe the two roll types correctly. Statement 3 misstates the purifier’s principle: sieves classify by size, and a bran flake may be exactly the size of a semolina granule. The purifier works by combining a sieve with a rising air current, so the separation is by density and aerodynamic behaviour rather than by size alone.
