FHT Flour HeatTreatment.

2Flour Heat Treatment.Modification of grain product properties.
Definition of FHTFlour Heat Treatment is a process designed to modify the properties of flour, germ, and bran. FHT can be divided into two basic processes: hydrothermal treatment and thermal treatment.
ApplicationsFHT products can be applied in a large number of different ways in the food industry:
Coatings Hydrothermally treated flour is excellently suited for
preparing batters for coating fish, meat, and vegetables. Thankstoitsoptimizedcoldviscosity, battersorbreadingsadhereperfectlytothefood drippingofthebatterisreduced.
Bakery products Thermallytreatedfloursareusedforcakeswithhigh

materials with low microbiological contamination are required.Heattreatmentsanitizestheflourbyinactivatinga large proportion of the microorganisms.

Hydrothermal processThe term hydrothermal process refers to the treatment of flour by heat and moisture in the form of water and steam. The goal of this process is to modify the flour substance components such as starch and gluten. In addition,enzymesandmicroorganismsareinactivated.
PrincipleFHT is a continuous process with a throughput capacity upto2500kg/h.Hydrothermalflourtreatmentcanbedivided into three steps: hydrothermaltreatment:injectionofsteamandwater
into the flour, followed by a retention time in the heat retention screws

Thermal processThe term thermal process refers to the treatment of flour by heat, followed by an appropriate retention time. This process is less intensive than the hydrothermal process. Thefloursthusretaintheirbakingcharacteristics.Theheatacts particularly upon the gluten and the microorganisms.

5Overall process. Tailor-made customer solutions.
System typesThe core components of all FHT systems (heat retention screws and thermopneumatic conveyors) for the hydro-thermal and thermal processes are identical. The two processes can be combined in one single system. This produces maximum production flexibility, since it is possible to produce flourswithgelatinizedstarch bakingflourswithstrengthenedgluten driedflours stabilizedgermandbranon a single system. A system may also be designed to meet specific process requirements.
The system capacities are related to the specific product and may vary according to theprocess(thermal/hydrothermal) theheatretentiontimeintheretentionscrews theintensityoftreatment.Theprocessandthesystemsizearematchedtothecustomers specific needs.
Control systemA PLC control system controls and monitors the entire process. Operation, data gathering, and recipe management are performed by the Buhler WinCoS process control system.
The recipe-oriented control system is based on theroutingrecipe,whichdefinestheprocesssequence recipe(productformula)withtheactualprocess
