Stem flaking experience for corn
I am having issue with jelly corn on the roller of the flakes, which is causing me to stop production and clean the roller to be able to continue production tempering corn 4 hours steam conditioning 30 min roller gap 0.3 mm mill capacity 5ton/hr. Any suggestions?
Tempering supposed to be done when the steam chest is undersized and, in addition, 4 hours is a very short time. You need to expose the corn to the water/surfactant mixture for more time in order for the liquid to be absorbed instead of being in the corn surface.
Residence time inside the steam chest @ 30 minutes for corn seems also short, it should be more close to 45-50 minutes. What is the moisture content of the corn entering your flaking mill?
Regards,
ED
Mohamad;
The moisture content entering the flaking mill should be close to 18% and make sure you have enough residence time in the steam chest in order to hydrolyze the starches. You must be wasting a lot of energy (in form of steam) by trying to transfer the heat into the corn by having an oversized steam chest. I will suggest you to by-pass the tempering step since is not required at this point. You also need to get the right size steam chest to better use the steam and heat transfer.
