Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An abrasive grain-milling unit and a friction grain-milling unit are located on upper and lower portions of a pedestal, respectively. The friction grain-milling unit includes a grain feed trough to which a milled grain discharge trough of the abrasive grain milling unit is connected. A two-way grain feed trough and change-over valve is located above the abrasive grain-milling unit and is capable of selectively feeding grains either directly to the friction grain-milling unit or to the friction grain-milling unit via the abrasive grain-milling unit.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A grain-milling machine comprising: a vertical abrasive grain-milling unit, a vertical friction grain-milling unit, a two-way grain feed trough, and a change-over valve located above the two-way grain feed trough, wherein the two-way grain feed trough is located above the abrasive grain-milling unit and the friction grain-milling unit, the abrasive grain-milling unit is located above the friction grain-milling unit, the abrasive grain-milling unit and the friction grain-milling unit are top-down vertical feed units, the abrasive grain-milling unit includes a milled grain discharge trough, the friction grain-milling unit includes a grain feed trough to which the milled grain discharge trough of the abrasive grain milling unit is connected, and the change-over valve selectively feeds grains in the two-way grain feed trough in a vertical feed direction either directly to the friction grain-milling unit or directly to the abrasive grain-milling unit. 2. A grain milling machine according to claim 1 , wherein the abrasive grain-milling unit comprises a bran removal chamber, a bran discharge trough located below the bran removal chamber, and a pulley having a fan structure to generate air flow during rotation thereof, the pulley being interposed between the bran removal chamber and the bran discharge trough, and the friction grain-milling unit comprises a bran removal chamber to which the bran discharge trough of the abrasive grain-milling unit is connected, a bran discharge trough located below the bran removal chamber of the friction grain-milling unit for collection and discharge of bran from the abrasive and friction grain-milling units, and a pulley having a fan structure to generate air flow during rotation thereof, the pulley being interposed between the abrasive and friction grain-milling units.
