DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a milling rotary body which is rotatably driven in a bran removing cylinder, and transfers a received grain between the milling rotary body and the bran removing cylinder. The present invention relates to a grain-milling facility provided with a grain-milling device, which is configured to mill and is provided with a ventilation means for ventilating the bran peeled off from the grain through the porous portion of the bran removing cylinder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the above-mentioned milling apparatus, a milling cylinder having a grindstone member and a porous portion alternately arranged in a circumferential direction and a milling rotary body having a brush on an outer peripheral surface are provided. The bran remaining on the surface of the grain is brushed while the bran on the surface of the grain transferred between the milling rotator and the bran removing cylinder is peeled off by a grinding stone member by the rotation drive of the rotating body for grinding. The bran is rubbed and polished with a brush, and the peeled bran is discharged through the porous portion. In addition, in a grain-milling facility that performs grain-milling by receiving the grains after grain-milling in a grain mill for pre-treatment and then milling the grain,
Both the pre-milling device and the post-processing milling device are configured by installing the above-described milling device, and in both pre-processing and post-processing, grind the bran on the grain surface. The bran is scraped off by a member, and the bran remaining on the grain surface is scraped off with a brush and polished.

[0003]

According to the above-mentioned conventional grain milling apparatus, even in the case of grain milling in which fine bran remains on the grain surface, the grain surface is further processed by a grindstone member. In the case where grains that are easily removed and the bran is easily peeled off from the surface of the grain are subjected to the grain refining process, the surface of the grain may be excessively shaved with a grindstone member. Further, since the arrangement ratio of the porous portion occupying the periphery of the bran removing cylinder is reduced by the provision of the grindstone member in the bran removing cylinder, shavings including a large amount of bran etc. are generated by the grindstone member. Regardless, the ability to discharge the shavings is insufficient, and the shavings remaining in the bran removing cylinder easily adhere to the grain surface. Therefore, the yield of the grain is reduced, and scratches are left on the grain surface due to excessive shaving by the grindstone member, or the shavings remaining in the bran removing cylinder adhere to the grain surface, and the grain surface is reduced. There is a drawback that it is difficult to give out the luster of the glass. Further, according to the conventional grain mill, the surface of the grain subjected to the grain milling by the grain mill for pretreatment is further shaved by the grindstone member provided in the bran removing cylinder of the grain mill for post-treatment. As a result, the yield of the grain is further reduced, and many scratches remain on the grain surface, and the shavings remaining in the bran removing cylinder adhere to the grain surface, and are used for post-processing. However, there is a disadvantage that the surface of the grain is hardly glossy. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a grain-milling facility that can grain-mill a grain at a high yield, and that can easily bring out the gloss of the grain surface. .

[0004]

For post-processing according to claim 1
The milling device of the present invention does not scrape the bran on the surface of the grain transferred between the milling rotary body and the bran removing cylinder with a grindstone member that easily generates shavings containing a large amount of bran, etc. Suppressing the generation of shavings by bringing the surface into contact with the porous part or rubbing the grain surface with a brush made of a material carrying abrasive grains on synthetic resin with the rotation drive of the milling rotary body While
The bran is peeled off from the grain surface and polished. In other words, since the hardness of the synthetic resin is softer than the hardness of the abrasive grains, the synthetic resin portion wears out quickly and a large number of fine abrasive grains are exposed at the tip of the brush, so that the tip of the brush contacts the grain surface. Then, the soft synthetic resin portion polishes the grain surface while the abrasive grains exposed at the tip scrape the bran remaining on the grain surface. In addition, since the grindstone member is not provided in the bran removing cylinder, a porous portion having a large ventilation area and a large ability to discharge shavings can be provided, and shavings including peeled bran can be efficiently passed through the porous portion. Can be discharged.
Therefore, since there is little possibility that the grain surface is excessively shaved off, the grain can be refined at a high yield, the grain surface is less damaged, and shavings remain in the bran removing cylinder. And the shavings are less likely to adhere to the grain surface, so that the grain surface is more likely to be glossy. In addition, since there is little possibility that the grains after being subjected to the cereal processing in the pretreatment cereal mill are excessively shaved off in the post-processing cereal mill, the cereal grains can be crushed at a high yield. As well as less damage to the grain surface, as well as less shavings remaining in the bran removing cylinder and less shavings adhering to the grain surface. It is easy to give the surface gloss . Furthermore, the grains received in the pretreatment milling device are transferred between the milling rotary body and the bran removing cylinder, and the bran on the grain surface is shaved off by a grindstone member, and
With the driving rotation of the milling rotary body, the grain surface is rubbed with a brush formed of a material carrying abrasive grains on synthetic resin,
While the bran remaining on the grain surface is scraped off with the abrasive grains exposed at the brush tip, the grain surface is polished with a soft synthetic resin part, and the peeled bran is discharged to the outside through the porous part by the ventilation means . Therefore, in the pretreatment cereal mill, the bran on the grain surface is shaved off by the grindstone member and the abrasive grains of the brush, and the grain with little adhesion of the bran after being polished by the synthetic resin portion of the brush is removed. In the post-processing mill, the milling process can be performed, and the shavings such as bran generated in the post-processing mill can be further reduced. More easily .
